Reply to comment by Surefinewhatever1111 in DC Council bills propose rebates of up to $2,000 for residents who buy ebikes | WJLA by aNeonSpecter

If they can easily afford it but don’t buy one, and then this rebate is put in place and they buy one it does it’s job. The goals is get more people to replace car trips with bikes.

Yea that’s not how it works… you would never get more than you paid for the bike. There are also versions of the bill that have it so you need to by from a dc based bike shop who facilitates the rebate, no bike shops have those garbage AliExpress bikes. Now if you got a free or nearly free bike and never use it well then sucks to be you, but there are going to be others that do so i say we are still coming out ahead.
