More San Franciscans are pedaling towards a greener future thanks to the return of the SFPUC’s popular Electrify My Ride program, which offers eligible customers a $1,000 coupon for a new electric bike. When we launched this rebate program this year on August 18, all 1,000 rebates we claimed within three hours. The response was electric!
Customers, who must be either CleanPowerSF or Hetch Hetchy Power customers on an energy discount program, now have until November 1, to redeem their coupon at one of the program’s participating retailers:
Avenue Cyclery (Upper Haight)
Huckleberry Bicycles (North Beach)
Last Mile SF (Hayes Valley)
Ocean Cyclery (Ingleside)
SF Wheels (Cole Valley)
Sports Basement (3 locations: Bryant, Presidio, Stonestown)
The Electric Bike Center San Francisco (Richmond)
The New Wheel Electric Bikes (Bernal Heights)
The Bike Connection (SoMa)
Warm Planet Bikes (Civic Center)
Electrify My Ride Community Event
To celebrate the return of Electrify My Ride and to encourage people to redeem their coupons, the SFPUC held a community e-bike event at the Southeast Community Center last month. Nearly 200 San Franciscans attended and test rode e-bikes from a few of our participating retailers, received a free helmet with the purchase of an e-bike, learned more about other SFPUC programs, and enjoyed African food from food truck Jollof Kitchen.
Attendees voiced their appreciation for the program and the event. Retailers were ecstatic, too. “The first few days of the program have been absolutely crazy. It's been a much bigger demand than we expected, which is great! A big thanks for organizing and managing this. It goes along way for a small business like ours,” said Ethan P., owner of SF Wheels.
Why E-Bikes?
Making e-bikes more accessible to San Franciscans is important for the environment and our health.
They can help save big on transportation, offering an affordable, hassle-free alternative to cars. E-bikes also promote healthier communities by cutting carbon emissions and harmful air pollution. Finally, they are a great way to stay active and live a healthy lifestyle.
Join us! Grab a helmet and start your e-bike journey today. We can all pedal towards a healthier and greener future.
