Austin riders who want to pedal to work can switch to e-bikes at a more affordable price starting next year.
Starting 2023, Austin Energy will double the customer rebate for e-bikes. The rebate differs depending on whether it is an individual or fleet purchase. Austin Energy uses a three-tiered system within each category.
For individual e-bike purchases under the three-tiered rebate plan, based on the price range of an e-bike, an e-bike costing $500-$900 will receive a rebate of $200 instead $100. E-bikes costing $1,000-$1,999 will receive a $400 rebate, doubling what is offered this year. E-bikes $2,000 and up will receive a $600 rebate.
Fleet purchase rebates will range from $400-$800 depending on price. Austin Energy will offer more incentives through the Customer Assistance Program for those who qualify.
