Want one of Denver's e-bike rebates? You'll have to wait another month to apply
The application window for September for Denver's popular e-bike rebate program is now closed. Hundreds of new rebates for the purchase of an electric bike were made available on Tuesday morning but they were all claimed after only a few minutes, according to the city's office of Climate Action, Sustainability & Resiliency.
Most Denver residents are eligible for a $400 rebate under the program. Additional assistance is available for those who are income-qualified.
"It's a great incentive and makes it very affordable," Houshmand Moarefi, owner of eBikes USA, told CBS News Colorado earlier this summer.

The rebate program will open again on Oct. 3. All of the remaining release dates for 2022 e-bike rebates in Denver are as follows:
- Monday, Oct. 3
- Monday, Nov. 7
- Monday, Dec. 5
Thousands of Denver residents have already applied for the program and redeemed vouchers for the bikes.
The State of Colorado plans to spend $12 million on a voucher program to help more people buy e-bikes. The money was approved earlier this year by the state legislature and that will launch later this year or early in 2023.
