Making sustainable transportation more accessible and affordable. The Province of British Columbia is launching a new rebate program aimed at encouraging residents to embrace e-bikes as a convenient and eco-friendly alternative to motor vehicles. With rebates based on income, ranging from $350 to $1,400, this initiative seeks to make e-bikes more affordable for individuals across the province. By removing the need to scrap a car and investing over $6 million in rebates, the program is expected to benefit up to 9,000 people, lowering the cost of their e-bike purchases. Join us as we explore how this rebate program is transforming transportation options and promoting a greener future for British Columbia.

It would be good to receive a confirmation showing the application as having been received. The site ate all my personal information then just went to a landing page. No confirmation! That is unnerving.

Are you kidding me?! In the midst of a health care crisis and education crisis and opioid crisis, this government is willing to put $6 million into subsidizing e-bikes?! Shame on you BC government!!

Trying to get started with the paperwork, but I can’t find the online application form. According to the website’s 4 Easy Steps, submitting this application and receiving an approval email are supposed to happen before you purchase an e-bike.

I got through the whole thing, hit submit and it acted like it was processing then went back to the home page. I got no confirmation of any sort that it was accepted or did it disappear into cyberspace?

I have a regular bike that don’t use much anymore because going uphill becomes a struggle and I would like to be able to move around freely. I don’t have a car but I walk a lot and use public transit.
I would really like to get a e-bike such as the Envo D35 Electric Bike.
I am low income senior living in a BC Senior Housing.
My question: do I have to pay the full amount first before I get reimbursed.
Thank you for looking after my request
