DENVER — E-bikes continue to sell like hotcakes and now, more rebate programs are coming to communities throughout the state after the Colorado Energy Office allocated $2.5 million for local and tribal governments to set up their own e-bike rebate programs for low-income residents.
“E-bikes are super fun. Everyone seems to really get on board with them,” said Sarah Thorne, a senior program manager with the Colorado Energy Office. “They are really a transformative transportation option for many people, and I think governments and other organizations out there are starting to realize just how much that transformation can be.”
Representatives from both Longmont and Fort Collins confirmed to Denver7 they are considering applications for funding. Rachel Ruhlen, a transportation planner with the city of Fort Collins, said the city has already participated in other e-bike grants through the state which have helped low-income residents both buy e-bikes of their own as well as obtain passes to use a bike-share program.
