Strategic Program 6: Comprehensive E-bike Access and Support
Strategic Program 6: Comprehensive E-bike Access and Support (SP 6)will fund rebates for income-qualified households for new e-bike and cargo e-bike purchases to be redeemed at local bike retailers. Participating bike retailers will need be physically located within Portland and provide both sales and repair services to be eligible to accept rebates. Cargo e-bikes and adaptive electric bikes will receive a higher incentive. People receiving rebates will also be able to use a fixed amount of funds for bike safety equipment, locks, and gear. This will also fund a job program training of 50 e-bike mechanics.
