Denver rolls out ‘Fix-a-Flat’ program for qualified e-bike riders

By Deborah Smith June 24, 2025 | updated 1 month ago

Denver is offering a $50 credit to keep income-qualified electric bike riders rolling.

The “Fix-a-Flat” initiative provides a one-time credit to help cover the cost of flat tire or wheel repairs.

This program is available to individuals who have redeemed an income-qualified voucher from the e-bike rebate program.

Since 2022, more than 9,500 Denver residents have transitioned to e-bikes through the city’s rebate program.

“Flat tires are our most common repair and an e-bike flat is more costly than a standard bike tire. And that is an issue that can keep an e-bike off the road. With the Fix-a-Flat program, we’ll be able to provide some extra support to our income-qualified e-bike voucher redeemers to take care of their e-bikes so they can keep riding,” said Eric Guetterman, owner of E Force Bikes.  “This small support makes a big difference in keeping people using their e-bike to hopefully keep replacing vehicle trips.”

Funding for the program is provided by the city’s Climate Protection Fund.

Denver residents voted in November 2020 to approve a 0.25% sales tax to fund efforts to address climate change, aiming to eliminate 100% of greenhouse gas emissions by 2040 with a 65% reduction by 2030.

The $50 credit can be redeemed at any participating bike shop in the rebate network and is available exclusively to those who have used an income-qualified e-bike rebate.
