UBC Completed a study on the program in September of 2025. A copy of Travel, Environmental, and Equity Impacts of Income-Conditioned E-Bike Rebates in British Columbia can be found here.
This program supported the Province’s CleanBC goals by encouraging a mode shift towards active transportation and public transit. E-bikes greatly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and offer a convenient alternative to replacing motor vehicle trips. E-bikes provide greater speed, convenience, and accessibility than non-assisted pedal bicycles.
