Your Guide to US Ebike Tax Credit & Rebate in 2025
Briefly

Ebikes have gained significant traction recently, leading major bike and car manufacturers to pivot towards their development. The Ebike Act introduces a consumer tax credit—up to 30% of the bike's cost, capping at $1500 for purchases under $8000—aimed at boosting Ebike adoption. New guidelines highlight the importance of specific classes (1 or 2) and UL 2849 certification for rebates. As states adopt individual rebate programs, potential buyers should research applicable incentives to maximize benefits, particularly with the proposed E-BIKE Act updates for 2025, which promise a more robust financial incentive framework.
In recent years, Ebikes have surged in popularity, prompting both bike and car brands to focus on their design and manufacturing. States are launching rebate programs to incentivize purchases.
To qualify for the Ebike rebate, the bike must have a robust motor, belong to specific classes, and meet UL 2849 certification as mandated by new federal guidelines.
The Ebike Act consumer tax credit, introduced in 2021, allows eligible buyers to receive a tax credit of up to 30% of the cost of an Ebike.
The 2025 update of the E-BIKE Act proposes a 30% refundable tax credit, which, if legislated, would further enhance the financial dynamics of purchasing Ebikes.
