Electric bikes can help you do more and go farther than you ever thought possible. From extending your off-road adventures to boosting your commute and making running errands an absolute breeze, there’s an e-bike for however you like to roll.
That said, a good quality and long-lasting e-bike can be a big investment. Luckily, some states are offering electric bike rebate (e-bike rebates) and tax credit programs that can help. Click on your state below to see if you’re eligible to get an incentive when you buy a brand-new electric bike!
Why E-Bike Incentives?
The bike industry was already facing economic headwinds and higher duties. Then, President Trump started his second term with steep tariff increases that have made bicycles even more expensive. With major brands like Specialized and Trek already raising prices, many consumers will need help to afford these battery-powered bicycles.
“E-bikes are a practical and affordable solution to tackle some of our biggest issues we face with the environment and transportation,” Rebecca Tepper, Massachusetts’ energy and environmental affairs secretary, said in a release.
“Since transportation is the largest source of greenhouse gas pollution in the state, this initiative is important to our overall plan for a cleaner energy future that benefits every resident of Massachusetts.”
