Ava Community Energy, a not-for-profit local government agency that is the primary supplier of electricity in Hayward and the rest of Alameda County, is offering instant rebates ranging from $250 to $1,500 on the purchase of new e-bikes and associated safety equipment.
To be eligible, applicants must be a customer of Ava Community Energy or simply a resident of Alameda County, 18 years of age or older and able to show photo identification and proof of residence.
Ava Bike Electric instant rebate amounts vary based on the type of e-bike purchased and whether the buyer is participating in certain electricity assistance programs for lower-income households.
To participate, go online to AvaElectric.org/bike-electric to apply to be included in a monthly lottery through which instant rebate recipients will be chosen. The first monthly lottery drawing is taking place tomorrow, Tuesday, July 22. To participate, complete your online application by 11:59 p.m. tonight.
Ava Bike Electric instant rebates may be redeemed at the point of purchase at participating bike shops, including E-Cycle Path Hayward, 22510 Foothill Boulevard. To learn more about the program—and find a link to the online application and a list of participating bike shops—visit the program web page at AvaEnergy.org/bike-electric.
The City of Hayward is a member agency of Ava Community Energy. The City also has set a goal of increasing active transportation — cycling, scootering and walking — by 15 percent in Hayward as part of the City’s efforts to reduce carbon emissions. |
