Minnesota E-Bike Rebate Launch Delayed by Website Issues

Minnesota's new e-bike rebate program, offering up to $1,500 to reduce the cost of purchasing e-bikes, faced a website crash due to high demand shortly after its launch. The program, funded with $2 million annually for 2024 and 2025, aims to promote e-bike use as a climate-friendly transportation option. The rebates, which cover 50-75% of the e-bike's cost, are available to Minnesota residents meeting certain criteria, with a focus on lower-income applicants. The application process will resume once the website issues are resolved.
