Feel free to move this if there's a better forum:
Oregon is maybe going to pass an e-bike rebate program, up to $1200, which is super exciting BUT seems to only include pre assembled e-bikes which...sucks.
"(3) To qualify for the rebate under this section, a qualifying individual must purchase an electric assisted bicycle or cargo electric bicycle and qualifying equipment, if any, from a qualifying retailer in this state. The electric assisted bicycle or cargo electric bicycle must have a minimum retail sales price of $950. Qualifying equipment must be purchased as part of the same transaction as the electric assisted bicycle or cargo electric bicycle."
Thoughts? I live in oregon and am planning on calling the bill's sponsors (I want a rebate damnit!), I'm assuming their responses will be something like "diy e-bikes sound dangerous and scary and probably overpowered, you're insane." What would you say? What kind of middle ground do yall think could be struck? This seems like a marginal enough bill that public input might actually make a difference.
