PCEF launched its e-bike rebate program, called “Portland Rides,” in April. From there, recipients can decide if they want a standard e-bike (the $1,600 incentive) or a cargo e-bike ($2,350). He told the Mercury that since he got his electric cargo bike earlier this summer, he’s barely used his car.
