What is the Atlanta E-Bike Rebate Program?

The Atlanta E-Bike Rebate Program is an equity-focused instant rebate program designed to make e-bikes more affordable for Atlanta residents, particularly low- and moderate-income households. Funded by the City of Atlanta, the program helps reduce transportation costs, expand mobility options, and replace everyday car trips with clean, convenient transportation. This program is the product of years of advocacy by Propel ATL, and we continue to support outreach and education efforts to help more residents learn about and access the program.

The Impact So Far

The first round of Atlanta's E-Bike Rebate Program delivered measurable benefits for residents across the City. Read more in the ARC's Atlanta E-Bike Rebate Program 2024 Year-End Report.

A Brief History of the Program

2022: Inspired by the success of cities like Denver and Boston, Propel ATL began conversations with Atlanta City Councilmembers about the possibility of starting a program to foster e-bike affordability in Atlanta.

December 2022: Following months of advocacy by Propel ATL and its supporters, Atlanta City Council introduced legislation to launch an e-bike rebate program for Atlanta residents. A working group, which includes Propel ATL and other organizations, formed to make recommendations based on lessons learned in other cities.

October 2023: City Councilmember Matt Westmoreland introduced a resolution calling for a $1 million city of Atlanta pilot e-bike rebate program to be managed by the ARC. Propel ATL led outreach, engagement, and education.

January 2024: Atlanta City Council approved the e-bike rebate program.

June 16, 2024: The program launches, administered by the ARC. Atlanta became the first city in Georgia to offer e-bike rebates and the third in the Southeast, joining Tampa, Florida and Raleigh, North Carolina.

2025: ARC releases its report on the program, indicating success on all metrics, from equity to reducing everyday driving. Given the persuasive evidence, Propel ATL advocates for more funding to continue the program.
