The city of Atlanta is the latest to see the value in encouraging their populace to ride e-bikes. On June 16, Atlanta residents will be able to apply for a rebate on a standard e-bike or a cargo e-bike. Residents will have one week, until June 23, to apply.
The rebate program will use a point-of-sale strategy where the rebate
amount will simply be deducted from the purchase price. This will save residents the aggravation of submitting a receipt and waiting for a check or tax credit that may take months to materialize.
There will be two tiers of participants, based on income. Income-qualified residents will receive a $1500 rebate for the purchase of a standard e-bike, or a $2000 rebate for a cargo e-bike. Other Atlanta residents will receive $500 for a
standard e-bike or $1000 for a cargo e-bike.
