The first e-bike incentive application window OPENS on December 18th at 6pm PST.
Click the

In the meantime, please feel free to explore our website for detailed information on the California E-bike Incentive Project, including
applicant eligibility [ebikeincentives.org],
eligibile e-bikes [ebikeincentives.org] and the
process to apply and redeem an incentive voucher [ebikeincentives.org].
-----------------------------
Vouchers will be available in a two-tier system based on income. People earning a gross annual income less than 300% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) would be eligible for a $1,750 voucher.
People earning below 225% of the FPL or living in certain low-income communities will receive a $2,000 voucher.

There was a news article about 5 years ago reporting that if your house hold income is below $120,000 annually in the Silicone Valley, you are living in poverty.
- Are exempt from the ABAWD Time Limit;
- Satisfy the CalFresh work requirement;
- Qualify for an additional three consecutive month period of eligibility;
- Receive a discretionary exemption; or
- Live in a county or area with a waiver of the ABAWD Time Limit.
And there is lots more of the requirements besides that.Not even sure how one can qualify for the 2k free money because making 30k in CA is a performance with the high starting hourly mandated wages

CA is one of the weirdest places in the States, and I know, I've spent a farkton of time there.

And aside, the goal here is (probably) to get people to ride E-bikes instead of driving. It doesn't make sense to give them to people who can already afford them, so...?
But again, this is a rounding error compared to corporate subsidies.

To prevent needless lithium battery fire deaths,
Please:
1. Store the ebike outdoors when possible.
2. Do not charge unattended, ever! Think of it as cooking on the stove - don't walk away.
3. Unplug after reaching full charge. Do not keep it trickling.
4. Let the ebike battery cool down for an hour before charging.
5. When possible, store below 100% charge. Even 80% better.
6. Don't run the battery down to 0%, or even 10%.
7. Do NOT use or expect any regular fire extinguisher will put out a lithium ion battery fire!! It won't!! Run out asap then call 911.
Sadly, the bike organization doesn't warn ebike owners of this risk, which NYFD unfortunately has had to do after numerous residents became crispy critters.
A lithium bike fire CAN burn down a home fast, even from the garage.

So like an EV car, be safe!
Always outside!

2. Nonsense.
3. Agreed.
4. Maybe
5. Agreed
6. Agreed.
7. Agreed.
Also, it depends on the ebike for a lot of these. Most ebikes have built in safeguards now. I'm assuming these ebikes are very safe. Also, it's perfectly fine to store ebikes and EV cars in a garage. Just make sure you have adequate clearance and you'll be fine.
