February 9th, 2021 was a great day for the ebiking community. With the support ofPeopleForBikes, Representatives Jimmy Panetta (D-CA) and Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) introduced theElectric Bicycle Incentive Kickstart for the Environment (E-BIKE) Act. In Congressman Panetta’s words, “if passed, this program will provide a $1,500 credit or subsidize the price of a new ebike by 30%. The credit would be allowed once per individual every three years, or twice for a joint-return couple buying two electric bicycles.” Positioning ebikes as an affordable agent against climate change, the E-BIKE ACT will help millions of Americans enjoy and support the benefits of clean air while encouraging biking over driving across the country.
