How the Voucher Works
One of the best parts of this program is how easy it is to use at the register:

• Point-of-Sale Discount: The e-bike rebate voucher is applied directly at the point of sale at participating bike shops. The rebate is deducted from the bike's price at the moment you buy it.
  
  
• No Waiting: You don't have to submit a receipt and wait around to get reimbursed later.
  
  
• Act Fast: The city awards these vouchers strictly on a first-come, first-served basis.

2026 Rebate Release Dates
There are three total release dates for 2026. If you are looking to secure a voucher, you'll want to be ready right when the portal opens on the final date:

• Tuesday, May 19 (EXPIRED)
• Tuesday, July 7
• Tuesday, September 8 (Mark your calendars!)​

​What’s New for the 2026 Program?
If you've applied for the Denver rebate in the past, there are a few crucial changes you need to be aware of this year:

• The Waitlist: New this year, once all vouchers are claimed during a release, the city will add subsequent applicants to a waiting list. If any issued vouchers go unredeemed and expire, they will be automatically reissued to people on the waitlist, who will be notified by email.
  
  
• Income Caps for Standard E-Bikes: In 2026, Denver rebates for standard e-bikes will feature an income cap. When you apply, you will have to prove that your household income is at or below this specified limit.

Get Your Documents Ready
Preparation is key. If you do not include the correct documentation with your application, it may be denied—and the city cannot guarantee you'll have a chance to resubmit different documents later.

Make sure you have the following ready to upload

1. Proof of Residency in the City and County of Denver.
