Program administered by WSDOT, with participating e-bike retailer

Updated November 2026: $300 WE-Bike rebates are going to nearly everyone who applies. Apply once, get your code at the next monthly drawing, and take $300 off a new e-bike at Bike Swift.

How it works

1. Apply. Fill out the WSDOT WE-Bike application. It takes a few minutes. You need to live in Washington and be 16 or older. One application keeps you in every monthly drawing through March 29, 2027. If you applied in 2025 or earlier this year, log in to your existing account instead of creating a new one.
2. Get your code. Drawings happen on the second Monday of each month. Right now there is a surplus of $300 standard rebates, and in recent drawings nearly every applicant for the standard rebate was selected. When you're picked, confirm within 96 hours and WSDOT issues your rebate code.
3. Use it here. Bring your code to the shop or email it to us (details below). We take $300 off at checkout. No paperwork, no waiting for a check.

Don't want to wait for the drawing? Buy now, rebate later

If you've applied but don't have your code yet, you can still ride home today. Pay the $300 rebate portion of your purchase by check. When you bring us your rebate code within 14 days of the next drawing, we refund that $300 in full, with no restocking fee. If you aren't selected, we simply deposit the check and you keep the bike at the regular price. Either way you're riding now instead of waiting.

Where the program stands

• $300 standard rebate (any Washington resident 16+): plenty available. This is the rebate to plan on.
• $1,200 income-qualified rebate (household income at or below 80% of area median): the vast majority have already been awarded and only a handful remain, so it's very unlikely a new applicant receives one. If you qualify, it costs nothing to check the box, but don't count on it.
• Applications are open through March 29, 2027.

Already have a code? Two ways to use it

1. In the shop. Bring your code to 603 Eastlake Ave E. We apply it to any eligible bike at the register.
2. By email. Send [email protected] your rebate code, your phone number, and the exact bike you want (model, color, size). We verify the code, send you a deposit link for 50 percent of the post-rebate total, and let you know when the bike is ready. You pay the balance at pickup.

Your code doesn't expire once it's with us. If you give us your code before its expiration date, we can hold it until your bike arrives. No need to rush a decision because of a date on the voucher.

Rebates stack with sale prices, including our Black Friday Deals.

Which bikes qualify?

Any bike that is UL 2849 certified, Class 1, 2, or 3, and on Washington's approved list. That covers nearly every complete e-bike we sell, from the $999 Lectric XP4 to the Aventon Level 4 and Urtopia Carbon models. Conversion kits are not eligible.

What will it actually cost me?

Two of our most popular eligible bikes, out the door. Totals include Pro Setup and Seattle sales tax (10.55%, calculated before the rebate). Aventon bikes also include Washington's $15 battery recycling fee, which is taxed.

Lectric XP4 500 Bike $999 + Pro Setup $99 + tax = $1,213.84 With $300 rebate: $913.84 With $1,200 rebate: $13.84

Aventon Level 4 REC Bike $1,799 + Pro Setup $99 + battery fee $15 + tax = $2,114.83 With $300 rebate: $1,814.83 With $1,200 rebate: $914.83 On sale through December 1. See Black Friday Deals.

Why buy from Bike Swift?

An e-bike is a purchase you'll live with for years, and where you buy it matters. The shop you buy from is your service center, at least through the warranty period.

• Local Seattle bike shop. We've been building e-bikes for 14 years.
• Test ride before you buy. There's no better way to find the right bike.
• Expert service and support for the life of your bike.
• Friendly advice, no pressure. We'll help you find the right fit, not the most expensive option.
• Convenient pickup in South Lake Union, near the flagship REI store.

Can you order bikes that aren't on your site?

Very likely. We sell Aventon, Urtopia, Velotric, Lectric, Segway, Kona, Yuba, Surly, and Benno, not just the bikes shown on our site. If the bike meets WSDOT's requirements, ask us.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use the rebate on an e-bike conversion?
No. Only complete e-bikes are eligible.

Can I use the rebate on a sale bike?
Yes. The rebate comes off the sale price.

What are my odds?
For the $300 standard rebate, very good. In recent drawings nearly every applicant was selected. For the $1,200 income-qualified rebate, very low at this point in the program.

I want a bike before the next drawing. What are my options?
Use the buy now, rebate later option above: pay the $300 rebate portion by check, and we refund it when you bring us your code within 14 days of the next drawing.

Does my code expire?
Codes have an expiration date, but once you've given us your code we can hold it. Email it to us as soon as you have it.
