California E-bike Incentive Project | California Air Resources Board

 

The California E-bike Incentive Project offers point-of-sale voucher incentives for the purchase of electric bicycles, including cargo and adaptive models. To be eligible for these funds, individuals must be residents aged 18 or older with a household income not exceeding 300% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL). Those living in disadvantaged or low-income communities, or with incomes below 225% of FPL, qualify for additional incentives.

As of the last update in August 2023, the project is in the developmental phase and is expected to launch statewide in Fall 2023. There have been no recent policy changes affecting the project. The program aims to prioritize low-income consumers by making clean transportation more accessible, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and lowering transportation costs. Eligible applicants can apply for the program and, upon approval, redeem their vouchers at participating retailers to receive a discount on an e-bike purchase.

As of November 2022, the project has not reported any cumulative outcomes due to its ongoing development. The funding sources and additional details about the program were not specified in the summary provided.
