The B.C. government is increasing rebates for electric bikes to make them more affordable and accessible.
People who trade in a vehicle to scrap can now get a rebate of $1,050 toward the purchase of any type of new e-bike, an increase of $200 from the previous year.
“The rebate is delivered through the Scrap-It transportation options program,” a government news release said. “The ministries of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources, and Transportation and Infrastructure are providing $1,000 toward the rebate, with participating retailers providing the remaining $50.”
The province is also introducing a one-year pilot project to allow business owners to get a rebate of up to $1,700 toward the purchase of a cargo e-bike. This will provide eligible businesses with up to one-third of the purchase price. Businesses may purchase up to five cargo e-bikes through this program.
