Massachusetts Launches Statewide E-Bike Rebate Program to Promote Clean Transportation

The program offers income-based rebates of up to $1,200, with applications open through April 28, to encourage low-emission travel and reduce car use.

• The initiative, officially launched on April 14, 2025, will distribute 3,000 vouchers over six months, with 500 vouchers allocated monthly across five regions.
• Income-based rebates of up to $1,200 are available for e-bikes, e-cargo bikes, and adaptive e-bikes, redeemable at participating Massachusetts retailers.
• The program follows successful 2022 pilot initiatives, which showed that 40-60% of e-bike trips replaced car trips, highlighting their potential to cut emissions and ease congestion.
• Eligible residents must apply online by April 28, with a random selection process determining voucher recipients who will have 60 days to redeem their codes.
• This effort is part of Massachusetts' broader climate strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, with transportation currently accounting for 38% of the state’s emissions.
