NYC's Free E-bike Swap Program for Delivery Workers

NYC's Department of Transportation is launching a free e-bike trade-in program for delivery workers. Workers who earned at least $1500 in 2024, reside in one of the five boroughs, and own a non-compliant e-bike or moped can exchange it for a new UL-certified e-bike with a spare battery.

The application deadline is March 10, 2025.
