  • Lower-income Californians could get $2,000 rebate
    A man with dark skin wearing a black graphic t-shirt, black pants and white shoes rides an electric bike along a grassy path. A large black and white ship with three red and black smokestacks can be seen on the water in the background.
    A person rides an electric bike through the grass on the last day of winter that was a warm, sunny day with a view of The Queen Mary at ShoreLine Aquatic Park in Long Beach.

    Topline:

    The California Air Resources Board is opening a second application window for lower-income Californians to apply for a voucher worth up to $2,000 toward the purchase of a new e-bike. The first window saw more than 1,000 vouchers issued totaling more than $2 million in rebates.

    Who's eligible: To apply, you have to be at least 18 years old and meet income eligibility requirements.

    Why now: This application window was originally scheduled for April 29, but CARB says it was postponed after the website experienced issues due to high traffic and suspicious activity. CARB says it has made improvements to its website's security and ability to handle a large number of visitors all at once.

    How to apply: You can find more information on eligibility requirements and sign up for an email list that will notify you when the window to apply opens here. If you're selected to receive a voucher, you can redeem it for an e-bike at a qualifying retailer.
