I was searching for an ebike for a year or so when my province introduced a subsidy. All of a sudden, the local shops put the price of their bikes up by the exact amount of the subsidy.
Edit: my story has a happy ending for me anyway. The province rebated ebikes purchased anywhere, so I ordered a superior model for less money and had it shipped to me.
Sounds like a good way for the local shops to push people to online sales.
That’s what they did for me yea.
How about subsidies for regular bikes?
Not green enough. It needs to have a battery to be “green” and “renewable”
For me, a big benefit would be allowing bicyclists to use both sides of the sidewalk going in any direction. I really don’t want to be on the road.
Several other states will indeed follow suit:https://www.globalcyclingnetwork.com/how-to/buying-advice/usa-can-i-get-a-rebate-for-an-e-bike-state-by-state-guideEdit: missed that this is subsidies rather than a rebate. Amen!
Nah, the other states are too busy making abortion, books, education, and worker protections illegal.
