How Colorado Residents Can Get $8600 Towards an Ebike and Electric Car

I just bought a $2200 e-bike for $230

I’m so proud of my awesome state.

The Colorado Energy Office is offering residents the chance to embrace energy-efficient transportation alternatives and receive substantial rebates.

I’m currently searching for a job, so I’ve been looking for public programs to ease my financial strain. A few months ago, I saw the Colorado e-bike rebate program in a Google search. It seemed too good to be true, but I applied anyway.

And I was rejected.

So I applied in the next round, and viola! My state Government sent me two rebate codes, one worth $1100 for a bike and one worth $100 toward accessories.

I went to a participating retailer, saw that they had a sweet bike in my size marked down from $2200 to $1200, and snagged it. I added a $100 chain lock that would take the average thief days to cut through, and I was happily on my way.

The man behind the counter typed in my code, and I paid the $236 ($1300-$1200+ sales tax).

You, too, can walk away with a sweet discount bike
