I agree, any thumbs-down is more than likely for political reasons. But nothing is more Slickdeals than a free bike! Cool

Can't, must own it for at least 1 year or you will have to repay.

More details here: https://www.abc10.com/article/new...6cd95a88fe

"Participants would need to own the bikes for at least one year. If they get rid of the bike, they would have to pay back a portion of the funds unless the bike was stolen, had major mechanical issues or was damaged in a car accident."

Quote from AlpineM3 :
Our Yamaha Moro ebikes are not on the list…..sad
1. Yamaha is no longer selling ebikes (though there may still be some old model stragglers available).

2. The Moro is a mountain bike, designed for recreational off road riding. Not exactly what this program is intended for.

These will be resold for pennies on the dollar.
While page 28 says you're suppose to keep the bike for 1 year before reselling, there is nothing in the document discussing how they ensure that participants keep the bike for a year. Since there is no registration or license plates required for ebikes in california you are free to sell if you wish.
