Massachusetts e-bike rebates in 2026
Massachusetts’s statewide e-bike voucher — run by MassCEC — is closed. It ran from April to September 2025, handed out about 3,000 vouchers by monthly random draw worth up to $1,200 (plus up to $150 for safety gear), and isn’t expected to reopen in 2026 — MassCEC’s own wording, still posted as of August 2026. Some regional transit authorities and utilities have run their own pilots, so it’s worth checking locally. There’s no federal e-bike credit either.

Three things to know first
-
The statewide voucher is closed
MassCEC’s e-bike program ran from April to September 2025 and isn’t expected to reopen in 2026. Applications are closed while MassCEC reviews the results.
-
It was generous — and went fast
Vouchers ran up to $800 — or $1,200 for incomes below 225% of the federal poverty line — plus up to $150 for safety gear. About 3,000 were awarded by random draw, roughly 500 a month. That scale is part of why there’s no open round now.
-
Nothing statewide is open today
Some regional transit authorities and municipal utilities have run their own e-bike pilots, so a local program may exist — but the statewide MassCEC voucher isn’t one you can apply for.

Sort by amount or status. Tap any program for its official page.
Closed programs stay listed, marked closed — so you’re not chasing a dead program.
| Level | Top value | Status | ||||

Most of these are tied to a state, city or utility — confirm you’re eligible on the program’s own page before you buy, and check the bike meets any certification it requires. Last checked 14 July 2026.
What to do while it’s closed
Your options now
- Sign up for MassCEC’s e-bike updates so you hear if a new statewide round is announced.
- Check your regional transit authority or municipal light plant for a local e-bike pilot.
- If you’re buying now, price it with financing rather than waiting on a round that hasn’t been scheduled.
Worth knowing
- The 2025 program selected recipients at random, not first-come.
- MassCEC has said it’s reviewing options for future rounds, but nothing is confirmed for 2026.
- There’s no federal e-bike credit to fall back on.
No rebate to wait on? Spread the rest.
With no open program where you are, financing is the way in — and on a bike you were buying anyway, it’s often the difference between this month and “someday.”
What Massachusetts riders ask
Is the Massachusetts e-bike rebate available in 2026?
No. The statewide MassCEC e-bike voucher is closed, and MassCEC’s page — as of August 2026 — says it isn’t expected to reopen in 2026. Some regional pilots have run separately, but there’s no open statewide rebate.
Is there a Massachusetts e-bike lottery in fall 2026?
No round is scheduled. As of August 2026, MassCEC’s e-bike page says the 2025 program “is now closed and not expected to re-open in 2026” and that updates will be posted there. The 2025 program picked applicants by monthly random draw — that’s the ‘lottery’ — but no fall 2026 draw has been announced.
How much was the MassCEC e-bike voucher?
Up to $800 for households at or below 400% of the federal poverty line, or up to $1,200 below 225%, plus up to $150 for safety gear and a pump. About 3,000 were handed out by random draw between April and September 2025. It’s now closed.
Are there any e-bike rebates in Massachusetts now?
Not statewide. A few regional transit authorities and utilities have run their own e-bike pilots, so check your local transit authority or utility — but the MassCEC statewide voucher isn’t open.
Is there a federal e-bike tax credit?
No. The federal E-BIKE Act has never passed, so with the state voucher closed there’s no e-bike incentive open to Massachusetts buyers right now.
