Starting April 1, 2024 (that’s tomorrow if you’re reading this the same day I post it), all Coloradans will qualify for a $450 tax credit (applied at the time of purchase) for eligible e-bikes. There are some minor restrictions: the bike has to be UL-certified, you must purchase from a registered Colorado e-bike retailer (which I understand, but is a bit of a bummer given the variety and lower prices you can find online), and a variety of specs have to be met on the bikes themselves. Note that you are still fully responsible for any sales tax (even if the price of the bike is completely covered by the $450, which isn’t likely but I suppose is possible).
Here’s a great article that reviews a bunch of e-bikes at different price points (just realize that some of them won’t be available at an eligible Colorado retailer).
