Exactly โ€” which is why I think any money that could be put towards an e-bike rebate would be better spent working on infrastructure. Offering a rebate without suitable infrastructure for riding is putting the cart before the horse.

And Iโ€™ll tell you โ€” as a former e-bike rider^0, Iโ€™d much rather share the road with EVs than gas and diesel vehicles. EV rebates benefit cyclists and pedestrians too. California has seen a measurable drop in fine particulate matter and ozone pollution thanks to EVs. Noise pollution is also reduced. EVs running alongside good cycling infrastructure is a win for everyone.


[0] โ€” e-biked 10km each way too and from work for about 3 years; stopped about 14 years ago because Iโ€™ve been 100% work-from-home since that time.
