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.

Who can afford a $2000 + dollar ebike on a 39K net income?
Nothing like putting financial limits on people that are already struggling to make ends meet

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
