Hawaii E-Bike Rebate Program

With this statewide Hawaii E-Bike and E-Moped rebate, you can get up to $500 cash back!

 To be eligible for the electric bike and electric moped rebate you must be 18 years of age or older and able to prove one of the following:

• Current enrollment in grade school, community college, a trade school, or university.
• Do not own a motor vehicle with four or more wheels.
• Participation in a low-income assistance program such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or Section 8.

 Starting from July 1, 2022, customers can receive rebates for buying new e-bikes or e-mopeds from retail stores. The eligible electric bicycles must have a maximum speed of 28 miles per hour. The rebate amount is limited to 20 percent of the retail price or $500, whichever is less, per purchase.

This rebate currently does not cover other electric modes of micro transportation, such as electric skateboards and electric scooters.

The rebate process itself just became active and the State is currently accepting applicants.

Persons over the age of 18 that meet one or more of the eligibility criteria can apply online here or request a paper form by calling 808-587-2160. 

What is the “Vendor Form”?
In order to process the applicant's rebate check, the State requires additional information to be provided in the vendor (rebate applicant) form. Please note, the only fillable sections are highlighted in blue. These sections are:
Vendor Name: This is where the rebate applicant should place their name.
Vendor Add. 1: This is where the rebate applicant should place their street address (number and street name).
Vendor Add. 2-3: This is where the rebate applicant should place additional information about their address (i.e. apartment number, etc.).
Vendor City: This is where the rebate applicant should place the city associated with their address.
Vendor State: This is where the rebate applicant should place the state associated with their address.
Social Security No./Fed. Taxpayer ID No.: This is where the rebate applicant should place their social security number.
Presuming it is determined that a rebate application meets programmatic requirements, weʻre asking for this form to be filled by the applicant and submitted with their completed application to ensure the quickest possible turn around on their rebate check.
