E-Bike Tax Credit
Overview
A State of Colorado e-bike tax credit will be available to Coloradans starting on April 1, 2024. After this date, Coloradans will get a $450 discount off of a qualifying e-bike purchase (at the point-of-sale) from a participating retailer across the state. Not all retailers are participating; please check with retailers to see if they are participating and offering the $450 discount.
How it Works
All people living in Colorado are able to get the Colorado e-bike tax credit discount. E-bike purchasers who buy a qualified e-bike at a participating retailer (see Participating E-bike Retailers section below) will automatically receive the discount.
Each person living in Colorado may receive the discount on the purchase of one (1) e-bike from a participating retailer each calendar year. The purchaser is responsible for paying the full sales tax on the bike, even if the discount exceeds the bike’s price.
Proof of a physical Colorado address is required at the time of purchase. All documents must be dated within three months of the e-bike date of purchase.
