Colorado Offers E-Bike Rebates for Low-Income Residents.

Colorado will launch one of the largest statewide e-bike rebate programs in August, offering a $1,100 discount for low-income residents and a $500 rebate for moderate-income residents. The program, with $6.6 million in funding, is the biggest statewide e-bike program outside of California and aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The state hopes to award enough vouchers to fund about 1,000 e-bike purchases each month until funding runs out. The program is part of a range of new programs to help reduce local air pollution and build a vocal constituency of riders pushing local governments to construct new bike lanes and trails.
