The base voucher is set at US $1,750, with an additional $250 provided to priority applicants at under 2.25x the federal poverty line, with the maximum voucher being $2,000.

I just picked a random bike from their eligibility list from a brand I know... Rad Rover 6 Plus. That model is currently listed for $1399, so you'd get a free e-bike and any extra accessories you might need with the base voucher. WOW!!!!

Sure, some other models are $4000+, but that should give people a lot of incentive to get an e-bike.
