E-Bike Rebate Program Update
Our E-Bike Rebate program is temporarily paused while we transition to a new system. We will not be accepting new applications during the pause. We expect to relaunch in August 2026.
This pause will help us continue providing a high level of customer service without disruption.

FAQs: General Information about the E-Bike Program
Applicants must provide a valid, government-issued photo ID (for example: a driver’s license, passport, green card, military ID, foreign ID)
If the address on your ID matches the address listed on your e-bike application, no additional documentation is required.
If the address on your ID does not match the address on your application, you must provide an additional document as proof of residency (for example: utility bills, bank or credit card statements, leases, employment letters, USPS documentation, insurance or tax documents).
Please ensure all documents are current and clearly legible.
Our rebate provides up to $1,000 or the maximum price of your e-bike, whichever is less. For example: if your e-bike is $900, your PCE rebate will be $900.
If you are stacking this rebate with another rebate, use the other rebate first. Then you can use the PCE rebate towards the remaining balance.
Due to overwhelming demand, at this time you may only receive one rebate per address for the life of this program.
Yes, you can! As long as the address listed in the application is enrolled in CARE or FERA and you can provide proof that you live in that address, you are eligible.
