Raleigh is giving residents another shot at heavily discounted e‑bikes, reopening its popular rebate program on May 1 and dangling another round of point‑of‑sale vouchers. The city will again award the rebates through a lottery that runs May 1–15. Applicants can enter for a $500 standard voucher or, if they meet income limits, a $1,500 income‑qualified voucher. Previous winners have to sit this one out: they must reapply but will not be eligible. City officials say residents should be ready when the portal opens, with the application link set to appear on the program page closer to the relaunch.

What the relaunch includes
According to the City of Raleigh, the application portal will reopen on May 1 and winners will be selected by random lottery. All eligible applicants, defined as permanent Raleigh residents age 18 or older, can apply for a $500 standard voucher. Households at or below 80 percent of area median income qualify for the $1,500 income‑qualified voucher, which is designed to put a bigger dent in the price tag for those who need the help most.
