Vermont e-bike rebates in 2026
Vermont has no statewide e-bike rebate, so it comes down to your utility. Burlington Electric is the live one: up to $600 off at the register, or up to $850 for income-qualified customers. Green Mountain Power’s $200 rebate ended June 30, 2026 and hasn’t been renewed. There’s no federal e-bike credit, so a Burlington Electric account is the main way in right now.

Three things to know first
-
Green Mountain Power’s rebate has ended
GMP’s $200 e-bike rebate closed on June 30, 2026, with no renewal announced. If a rebate list still shows it as live, that list is out of date.
-
Burlington Electric is the open one
Burlington Electric pays up to $600 off at a participating shop, plus up to $250 more for income-qualified customers — up to $850 in all. You need to be a BED customer.
-
It’s utility-by-utility, not statewide
Vermont runs no state e-bike rebate, so what you can get depends entirely on who supplies your electricity.

How to use the Burlington rebate
At a participating shop
- Bring photo ID and a piece of mail showing your name and Burlington address to a participating shop — Old Spokes Home, Skirack, North Star Sports, Earl’s and Outdoor Gear Exchange are among them.
- The rebate comes off the price at the register — up to $600.
- If you’re income-qualified, ask about the extra $250, for up to $850 in total.
- Not a Burlington Electric customer? Check your own utility, then compare financing for the rest.
Worth knowing
- Burlington Electric’s rebate runs through December 31, 2026.
- Green Mountain Power’s rebate ended June 30, 2026 — don’t count on it.
- There’s no federal e-bike credit.
A rebate covers part of it. Spread the rest.
Even the best of these rarely covers the whole bike. Whatever’s left, you can spread out — and because the rebate shrinks what you borrow, you pay interest on a smaller number.
