New Congressional proposal by Panetta from CA. I've always wanted an e-bike and this would make it a much easier purchase for me.
Call me an asshole or whatever, but seriously just buy a normal bike ffs. It's a good workout and you never have to charge it.
For the duration and hilliness of my commute an e-bike would be lovely. I will probably just end up buying a normal bike but these are a good option for people who either have farther to go, hilly terrain, a lot of stuff to tote, or have a physically difficult time. If I had an e-bike I could use it to go much farther than a normal bike instead of using my car and it's still a pretty good workout. You still gotta pedal.
Does it cover e-bike kits? I already have a mountain bike that would be fun with an electric motor, I don't need to buy a whole new bike
Unclear. There was an inconclusive discussion about that in /r/ebikes. I think it probably does.
