That’s awesome, I’m not in California, but as someone that would qualify for that, and instead had to settle for a shitty E-bike at half that price… anyone that can take advantage of that, very much please do. If you need to modify the bike, or look into bikes with accessibility features, that is also an option. My sister is 400 pounds, and we found an E-bike she could have used, but there was no way she could afford it, but at a 2000$ discount, it would have been very viable at the time. I can’t imagine how much different her life would be now had we been able to get her a bike back then.
Just know that E-bike doesn’t have to mean 2 wheels and a tiny seat, there are alot of options, and 2000 dollars is generous enough that it can still cover a wide variety of increased price bikes for different accessibility needs.
