News Nuggets: More e-bike vouchers, Ducky Derby returns
The next round of Denver e-bike rebate vouchers will be released at 11 a.m. Tuesday.
The popular voucher program is a point-of-sale rebate applied to the price of an e-bike or e-cargo bike from a participating bike shop. The rebate is deducted from the bike’s price at the time of purchase, so buyers do not need to submit a receipt for reimbursement.
Denver awards the vouchers on a first-come, first-served basis.
Once all vouchers are claimed, applicants will be added to a waiting list. Unredeemed vouchers will be reissued to those on the waiting list.
In 2026, the standard e-bike rebate is $675 and can be combined with Colorado’s E-Bike Tax Credit, which is $225 in 2026, for a total discount of $900 on a new e-bike purchase.
However, this year, Denver has instituted an income cap for the standard e-bike rebate. Households must be below Denver’s area median income to qualify – below $100,800 for one person or under $144,000 for a household of four.
