New Study Says B.C.’s eBike Rebates Up Physical Activity 13% and Reduce Travel Costs by 16%

September 27, 2025 - A new study by UBC has found that income-based rebates for e-bikes are helping B.C. residents drive less, cycle more, save money, and generate revenue for the province.

Researchers surveyed 1,004 participants in the B.C. Electric Bike Rebate Program that offered rebates of $350 to $1,400 depending on income and found that after one year, rebate recipients increased their e-bike use by an average of 40 kilometres per week and reduced their motor vehicle use by 17 kilometres per week.

Participants most often swapped out a car journey for an e-bike ride, particularly for commuting, errands and shopping. Notably, 87% of participants still had access to a car after their e-bike purchase.

Overall travel costs fell 12%, while physical activity during travel rose 13%, and up to 60% of participants said they would not have bought an e-bike without the rebate.
