The city is temporarily pausing applications after the program ran out of funds less than a month after the city announced it.

“Less than three weeks from its launch, the City of Denver reached its limit for rebates for the popular e-bike rebate program,” writes Jennifer McRae for CBS Denver.
Grace Rink, Denver’s chief climate officer, says “There is a clear desire for e-bikes, and for trying a healthier and more sustainable way to get around our beautiful city. The work of our office is to find climate solutions that directly benefit residents, and I think we have a clear winner here.”
According to the article, “Since the program launched on Earth Day, the city has received 3,250 e-bike rebate applications. Forty percent of those applications are income-qualified, which accounts for 55% of the program’s available funding.” The program awarded $400 or $1,200 vouchers based on the type of bike and income qualifications.
The city plans to release more applications as funds become available.
