The Queensland Government has announced a $500 rebate on ebikes purchased from 23 September 2024. With great EOFY and factory-backed specials still running this is fantastic news for anyone considering buying an ebike!

The Queensland Government updated their Zero Emission Vehicle Strategy, introducing a rebate for e-mobility devices. The rebate is $500 for e-bikes and $200 for e-scooters.

$1 million was originally allocated to the scheme and a further top-up of $1M was added just one week later. If you have been thinking about getting an ebike and want to get the $500 rebate we suggest you be quick to apply!

NOTE: All funding is now allocated and the Scheme is now closed.

As well as your personal information, you will need to provide:

• Evidence of completed purchase ie. the receipt / invoice
• Information supporting its eligibility as an approved ebike including "evidence of a regulatory compliance mark and evidence of a battery management system". Different brands present their information differently - and we will provide you with some information too - however sources include:
• Product specifications on our website or the brand's website outlining the 'ebike technology' of that product;
• Excerpts from your ebike's manual and certificates of compliance
• Manufacturers' brochures. This could be the ebike brand eg "Focus", or the drive system manufacturer eg. "Bosch", or both. For example, Bosch provides further information and data on their website such as this brochure explaining the additional battery certifications Bosch has undertaken...

"Peace of mind with UL 2849 battery and battery management system certification..." See full brochure 

• Photographs of the EN15194 compliance mark (and others if relevant) on the frame of your new ebike;
