Second intake for the Community E-bike Incentive Pilot Program

Good news for aspiring e-bike riders! A limited number of additional incentives will soon be available to Saanich residents as part of the Community E-Bike Incentive Pilot Program.

This second intake for e-bike incentives is limited to Saanich residents who meet household income requirements. The second intake will provide 40 $1,600 incentives, followed by 75 $800 incentives.

How do I sign up for a $1,600 incentive?

  1. Create an ActiveNet account, if you don’t already have one
    • You are encouraged to create an ActiveNet account before the registration date. As with many of our popular programs, registration may fill up quickly.
  1. Register for the E-bike Intake program. Registration opens on April 13 at 7:00 a.m. 
    • Please note that registration for the $1,600 tier incentives is administered on a first-come, first-served basis.
    • Registration in the E-bike program via ActiveNet is the first step to qualify for an incentive. Registration alone does not guarantee access to an incentive. See saanich.ca/ebike for full program details.

Who do I call for ActiveNet help?

Contact any Saanich recreation centre for help with creating an account or registration.

Upcoming $800 incentive

The intake for the $800 incentives will take place once all the $1,600 tier incentives are pre-approved, which will likely occur in late May. Visit saanich.ca/ebike for updates.

About the E-bike Pilot

  • Funding for this second intake is provided by an external source.
  • The E-bike Incentive Pilot Program is designed to gather a sufficient amount of survey data from participants for an associated UBC study on the impact of the pilot on climate action, rather than to meet current demand for e-bike incentives.
  • Once the findings of the pilot have been formally shared, Saanich will use the results to inform future climate programs.
