Selected for round one? Start here
The City has notified the first 100 applicants selected for round one. Selection is the first step. Recipients must still complete eligibility-document verification and the required in-person training before receiving a voucher.
This notification update is confirmed through our direct coordination with the City. It is separate from the information published on the City webpage.
The official City page says selected applicants receive a training-registration link after their eligibility documents are verified. Vouchers are issued at the end of the in-person training. Follow your official notification; training dates, verification deadlines and voucher-distribution dates have not been publicly announced. Wait for an issued voucher before purchasing for the program. Prior purchases are not eligible.

Not selected, or did not apply?
Round-one registration is closed. The City expects round-two registration to open in Spring 2027. If you were not selected or did not apply, monitor the official program page. Review the City-linked Smart E-Bike Course and organize identification, residency and income-qualification documentation as applicable. Follow the next round’s official instructions before applying; no exact opening date is promised here.
A practical starting point
Compare approved new bicycles using our ready-to-ride prices, with or without an issued voucher. Applications are closed and selection notifications have begun. A listing is not a stock promise; confirm the exact model, size and location before visiting.

Current purchasing guidance
October 14, 2026: Updated for selected round-one applicants researching qualifying models, full-price sales tax and remaining purchase costs. Round-one registration is closed.
Choose by use, fit and total cost
For everyday trips, compare commuter and fitness models. Folding bikes can help with storage, but check their folded size and lifting weight. Cruisers favor an upright position; cargo and wider-tire models may suit different loads and routes. Test ride before deciding.
A $1,200 voucher can cover the bicycle portion of some lower-priced models, but it never pays sales tax. A more expensive qualifying bicycle can be purchased by paying the remaining balance and full-price tax.
Why Buy Local Instead of Buying a Box Online?
On many of the brands we carry, our in-store pricing is generally aligned with the brand's direct-to-consumer website pricing. The difference is what happens before and after you ride away.
Our ready-to-ride price includes professional assembly, tuning, safety testing, a road test, firmware updates where applicable, and one complimentary follow-up check and adjustment within the first 60 days after purchase. The follow-up covers brakes, shifting and fasteners; parts are charged separately. After 60 days, service is not included in the complimentary check. Additional maintenance and repairs are paid services. Our service department is reserved for bicycles purchased from us. The same ready-to-ride price applies with or without a voucher. Sales tax is additional.
Buying from us connects your bicycle purchase with our local service department. Ask about maintenance needs, fit and the parts used on the exact model.
Approved choices around $1,000–$1,600

New qualifying bicycles for voucher purchases
The voucher applies to a new qualifying e-bike purchased after voucher issuance. Used bikes and prior purchases are not voucher purchases. Non-voucher customers may ask us about other options; no unapproved promotion or inventory is promised here.
Your purchasing options
- Selected, but no voucher yet: Research models and complete the official verification and training steps. Wait for issuance before purchasing for the program.
- Issued voucher: Compare bicycles, budget for full-price tax and any remaining balance, then redeem in the French Quarter.
- You may pay your remaining purchase balance directly. If you wish to borrow, discuss options with an independent lender. Our shop does not approve loans or collect financial applications. The same ready-to-ride price applies with or without a voucher.
Follow the official program process
Round-one applications are closed and selection notifications have begun. Selection is not an issued voucher. Follow the official notice, complete eligibility-document verification, then attend the required in-person training. The City says your voucher is issued at the end of that training. Wait for your issued voucher before purchasing for the program; prior purchases are not eligible. Round two is expected in Spring 2027.
