      California launches its first statewide e-bike voucher project | California Air Resources Board
      SACRAMENTO - California is launching a new incentive on Dec. 18 that will provide income-eligible Californians up to $2,000 toward the purchase of a new e-bike – the latest example of how the state is expanding access to zero-emissions transportation options to residents who need the boost the most.

      “The first installment of the launch will offer $3 million”

      Heh. Minnesota, nearly 7x smaller, had a budget of $5 million when we did this — and when it went online, it was claimed in under •one second•.

      Good luck, CA!

      I’m all for programs like this as proof of concept and proof of demand. Yes, this obviously should be a properly funded program that actually works at population scale. Test runs like this that bust doors down and break web sites with traffic are a step toward that.

      @swacknificent @inthehands @scott @blogdiva There are over a million e-bikes sold in the USA each year. This program will fund 1,500 e-bikes. So yeah, if you want one then be quick with the mouse on launch day.

      The means testing is tempting, but makes the process •immensely• more complicated: harder to apply, harder to administer, less bang for the buck.

      They just need to increase the budget for the program by 5-10x.

      Re RadPower etc: a lot of those bikes aren't built to spec. RadWagons chronically need chain replacements, esp in MN. I don't want to stick high-need folks with so-cheap-it's-expensive bikes.

      Our adult children (who don't own cars) tried for the MN rebate and failed. I'd suggest that it be limited to 100% Area Media Income, and $750 per bike, on a purchase of $1500 or less.

      Also, the state needs to work with suppliers like Lectric, Aventon, Radio Flyer and RadPower to make sure attainable, UL listed ebikes are available. SorryNotSorry, Riese&Müller.

      I want to get ebikes to people who will use them for transport.
