California E-Bike Incentive Project begins Dec 18
Starting this week, eligible Californians can apply for a voucher of up to $2,000 toward the purchase of an e-bike as part of a new state incentive program launched by the California Air Resources Board.
The program will begin with $3 million, with the goal of providing vouchers for the purchase of 1,500 e-bikes.
Once the program runs out of vouchers it’s unclear whether the state will add more funding.
The program will start to accept applications at ebikeincentives.org at 6 p.m. Pacific on Dec. 18.
Ebike vouchers are only available at ebikeincentives.org
Applications will be processed in the order received until the vouchers are exhausted.
Who is eligible for the program?
Applicants must be California residents who are 18 years or older with an annual household income at or below 300% of the Federal Poverty Level. That means that a single-person household must make no more than about $45,000 per year and a two-member household must make no more than $61,000 to qualify.
How are the vouchers used?
Once the application has been submitted online and all of the eligibility requirements are met, the applicant will receive an approval notification with the voucher via email.
Vouchers can be redeemed at retailers who are participating in the program, including Electric Cyclery.
Which eligible bikes does Electric Cyclery carry?
