FAQs
Yes, you can use both rebates if you have been approved. You will need to use the other rebate first, then you can apply the Peninsula Clean Energy (PCE) rebate towards the remaining balance.
Example 1: If you were awarded $2,000 from the State rebate and your e-bike is $2,700, use the $2,000 rebate from the State first. Your rebate from PCE would then cover the remaining $700 for the cost of the e-bike.
Example 2: If you were awarded $2,000 from the State rebate and your e-bike is $5,000, you can combine both rebates and receive a combined $3,000 from both of our programs.
Please note that you must be approved by both programs BEFORE you purchase your e-bike.
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.
