CALIFORNIA – The California E-Bike Incentive Project announced that its next application window opens on April 29, for income eligible applicants to apply for up to $2,000 towards the purchase of an e-bike.
The program is providing $2 million or 1,000 vouchers in an effort to increase access to affordable clean mobility solutions.
During its first round of funding, 100,000 applicants applied for 1,500 available vouchers.
“The unprecedented interest in the vouchers shows there is a big need and strong interest in electric bikes in California,” said California Air Resources Board (CARB) executive officer Dr. Steven Cliff.

According to CARB, potential applicants must join a virtual waiting room between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. on April 29, 2025.
All individuals who enter the waiting room by 6 p.m. will be put in the queue in random order and have an equal opportunity to access a limited number of online applications.
The program will approve up to 1,000 applications.
