BC Electric Bike Rebate Program
Starting June 1, 2023, BC residents can get a rebate when they buy a new electric bike. By basing the rebate amount on income, e-bikes can be a clean transportation choice that is more affordable and accessible for everyone.
This program supports the Province’s CleanBC goals by encouraging a shift towards active transportation and public transit. E-bikes greatly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and offer a convenient alternative to replacing motor vehicle trips. E-bikes provide greater speed, convenience, and accessibility than non-assisted pedal bicycles. For more information on the program click here.
