Peninsula Clean Energy “E-Bikes for Everyone” Program 

UPDATE: New applications are no longer being accepted in spring 2022. Applications already received have been placed on a waiting list and will be reviewed if additional funding becomes available. 

Peninsula Clean Energy has launched the “E-Bikes for Everyone” program, including significant discounts to qualified San Mateo County residents for the purchase of a new electric bicycle (e-bike) in a broader effort to raise awareness and adoption of this healthier, cleaner and affordable transportation option. 

San Mateo County residents who meet income qualifications will receive a discount at participating shops of up to $800 off the purchase price for an e-bike.
