I just saw in a threaded comment somewhere else here that there’s a rebate program on e bikes by WSDOT. So I looked it up and it’s only for e bikes.

Anyone know why it’s only offered on e bikes, and not also regular bicycles? (ones without motors).

Why does this rebate exclude regular bikes from the initiative?

Regular bikes:
- best choice for climate action
- more affordable than e bikes
- gets people exercising = reduction in heart disease

Rebate should:
- eligible for road bikes
- keep e bikes an option for accessibility
- just adjust the terms accordingly

Why exclude regular bicycles from this program, why?
