Upcoming Washington State E-Bike Rebate Program

Washington State is set to roll out an exciting e-bike rebate program to make electric bikes more accessible and affordable for residents. This initiative aims to promote eco-friendly transportation, reduce traffic congestion, and lower carbon emissions across the state.

Who Qualifies?

• Washington State residents.

• Low-income households earning less than 80% of their county’s median income are eligible for a higher rebate.

Rebate Amounts

• Up to $1,200 for qualifying low-income applicants.

• A $300 rebate for other eligible residents.

How to Apply

• Applications will open for a limited two-week period.

• Applicants must provide personal details, including income verification.

• Rebates will be awarded via a lottery system.

Where to Redeem

Rebates can be used at approximately 100 participating local bike shops offering in-store purchases and repair services.

Program Funding & Implementation

• Budget: $5 million allocated from the state’s 2023-2025 transportation budget under the Climate Commitment Act.

• Research: Conducted by the University of Washington and Portland State University to ensure program effectiveness.

• Management: APTIM, an experienced industry leader, will oversee the program to ensure smooth operations.

Key Considerations

• The average cost of an e-bike is around $3,000, with stable pricing trends.

• Potential tariffs on Chinese imports could increase prices, as China supplies over 86% of e-bikes sold in the U.S.
