Do you have e-bike incentives where you live? (lemmy.ca)

Looking at various ebike incentives throughout Canada, and I was shocked by how much you could get back. We're talking $1000 in some cases, or more for cargo bikes.

Since Ontario is anti-bike, we don't have incentives like that, but I could see them having a huge impact on ebike adoption.

Do you have ebike incentives where you live? If so, did it enable you (or does it interest you) to get an ebike?

My brother in BC used it to get a really good ebike.

I live in Ontario though :(

I'm sure a ton of us in Ontario would get one and at least offload some of our car trips with an e-bike.

It looks like Durham Region is trying to put together a rebate program, but I'm not optimistic.

Well even though rumors aren't as good as the real thing. There's been no such discussion in Ottawa
