BC offers rebates on new E-bikes

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 25 May, 2023 12:50 PM

The B-C government is making it even more attractive to cycle by offering rebates on the purchase of eligible new e-bikes.

Starting in June, rebates on an approved e-bike will be available to B-C residents older than 19 and will be based on income.

Rebates will range from 350 dollars to a maximum of 14-hundred dollars.

This offer does not require the recipient to scrap a car in order to qualify and, with six-million dollars allotted to the rebate program, the Transportation Ministry says as many as nine-thousand people will be eligible.
