Boston E-Bikes Incentive Program

The City plans to provide approximately 1,000 vouchers ranging from $800 to $2,400 to help reduce the costs of purchasing an e-bike. Each recipient will also receive $150 toward the purchase of bicycle safety equipment.

The second round of applications will open in April 2025.
