Who is Eligible 

Incentives are available to California residents, age 18 or older, who have an annual household income at or below 300% of Federal Poverty Level (FPL). Priority applicants are residents that will receive additional funding if they live in a disadvantaged or low-income community or have an annual household income at or below 225% of FPL.  

How it’s Administered 

The project is administered by Pedal Ahead and incentives are distributed to residents as vouchers. Once approved, the voucher recipients will be able to redeem the vouchers at authorized e-bike retailers. Authorized retailers will apply the voucher discount to an approved e-bike at the point of sale.  

Where and When it’s Offered 

Vouchers will be available through the project website (coming soon) with an expected statewide launch in 2024.
