The District this week approved rebates for purchasing e-bikes, becoming the latest U.S. city to embrace the method to help get more people out of cars and onto bicycles while advancing goals to cut pollution and congestion.
The D.C. Council unanimously approved legislation to create financial incentives for hopeful e-bike buyers, mainly for lower-income residents, with vouchers ranging from $75 for bike locks to $2,000 for an e-bike. The bill is headed to Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) for her signature.
