E-Bike Rebates in the Roaring Fork Valley and Colorado

Electrify your ride with these rebate programs

Imagine if you could replace your daily car commute with a sweat-free ride on a pedal assist e-bike. Or, if your bike trip to the grocery store was made easier by a pedal assist with racks and the ability to safely haul your biggest shopping load. The extensive bike paths of the Roaring Fork Valley make valley commutes and errands a breeze. Now, with local and statewide rebate programs, buying an e-bike is just as easy.

Here are a few key programs geared to get you out of the car and onto the paths with a new pedal assist bike purchased at Basalt Bike and Ski.

Glenwood Springs, Pitkin, Eagle, Garfield, Mesa, and Gunnison Counties

A bill slated to go into effect in early summer 2023 titled Air Quality Improvement Investments includes the creation of a program to provide rebates for purchases “purchases of electric bicycles and equipment used for commuting purposes to individuals in low- and moderate-income households, businesses, or nonprofit organizations (program participants) or bicycle shops that sell electric bicycles to program participants at discounted prices.” Details are TBD on how much the rebates will be.
