Beginning Dec. 18, eligible Californians can apply for a voucher worth up to $2,000 that can be used to purchase a new electric bike.
The California E-bike Incentive Project, launched by the California Air Resources Board, was created to lower cost barriers to a technology that can replace cars, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and lower transportation costs.
The voucher acts as a discount at select stores and online retailers.
To apply for a voucher, applicants must be over 18 years of age, verify their household income and complete an online application.
Household income must be less than $45,180 for individuals, $61,320 for a family of two, and $93,600 for a family of four.

“By using e-bikes, people can get around and meet everyday needs while improving air quality,” Dr. Steven Cliff, CARB’s executive officer, said in a statement. “Prioritizing equity and access is key as we work to achieve our zero-emissions goals, and this incentive program will support those efforts by helping e-bikes be part of the solution.”
