Your Guide to the 2026 Denver E-Bike Rebate

If you have been thinking about ditching the car and joining the e-bike revolution, there has never been a better time! The City of Denver has rolled out its 2026 E-Bike Rebate Program, and it can save you some serious cash when combined with the Colorado State Tax Credit.
​
Navigating government websites can sometimes feel like a chore, so we’ve broken down everything you need to know into a simple, easy-to-read guide. Here is exactly how you can save up to $900 (or more for adaptive e-bikes!) on your new ride.

1. How Much Can You Save?
The Denver e-bike voucher is a point-of-sale rebate, which means the discount is applied directly at the cash register at a participating bike shop—no mailing in receipts or waiting for a refund check!

• Standard E-Bikes: Get a $675 Denver rebate. Stack this with the $225 Colorado State Tax Credit, and you are looking at a total discount of $900.
  

Note: The combined rebate covers up to 80% of the e-bike's total price before taxes.

2. Do You Qualify?
To grab this standard e-bike rebate, you must check three main boxes:

✅ Age & Location: You must be 16 or older and a resident of the City and County of Denver. (You will need proof like a CO Driver’s License, a current lease, or a recent Xcel Energy bill).

✅ Income Limits: New for 2026, standard rebates now have an income cap. To qualify, your household income must fall below the area median income based on the size of your household. For example:

• 1 Person: Under $98,100
• 2 People: Under $112,100
• 3 People: Under $126,100
• 4 People: Under $140,100 (You will need proof of income eligibility, such as enrollment in CARE, SSDI, or a recent tax return).
  
  3. When Can You Apply? The city releases these highly sought-after vouchers on specific days, and it operates on a first-come, first-served basis! The 2026 release dates are:
• Tuesday, May 19th (Closed)
• Tuesday, July 7th at 11:00 A.M. * Tuesday, September 8th at 11:00 A.M.
  
  

Pro Tip: Create an account on the Denver rebate voucher portal (Submittable) before release day. You won't be able to upload your documents until exactly 11:00 A.M. on the day of the release, so having your account ready and your PDFs saved to your desktop will give you a major head start!
New in 2026: If the vouchers run out, you will be added to a waitlist. If someone lets their voucher expire, you might still get an email with a second chance!

4. Where Can You Buy Your E-Bike?
You must redeem your voucher at an approved, participating local bike shop with a physical storefront. The shop will verify your ID to ensure it matches the voucher name and help you pick out an approved, safe, and certified e-bike.

(If you are local, stop by a participating shop like Boost eBikes to take a free test ride and see which model is right for you before voucher day!)
