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.
