CoPIRG and Bicycle Colorado hosted Colorado's 2nd official E-Bike Day on the South Platte River bike trail, alongisde e-bike riders, the Colorado Energy Office and state Representative Junie Joseph.
Colorado launched its first statewide e-bike tax credit today, granting residents access to a $450 discount on qualified e-bikes from participating bike shops. Governor Jared Polis declared the second official Colorado E-Bike Day to celebrate the rise of e-bikes as an alternative to car transport and the launch of the new state tax credit.
Electric bicycles, or e-bikes, are becoming an increasingly popular choice across Colorado. They offer a zero-emission option to our transportation landscape at a lower cost than an electric car, but with far more capacity than a traditional bicycle. E-bikes are available in many shapes and sizes, and a new statewide rebate starting in April can lower the cost of purchasing one. CoPIRG’s quick guide can help you find the best e-bike with the most savings here in Colorado.
Colorado got 2.6 times more energy from small-scale solar in 2022 than it did 5 years prior according to Rooftop Solar on the Rise, a new report released today by the Environment Colorado Research & Policy Center.
