exactly this. governments should be giving e-bikes away if they really want to tackle climate action, sustainable mobility, public health - all while battling inflation and worsening income inequality
This is a UK article, but it makes some great points about why governments should provide rebates or subsidies for ebikes and e-cargo bikes, not just EVs.
These are new terms to me for people who would like to use alternatives to driving more, “malcontented motorists” and “active aspirers”.
Subsidising e-bikes instead of cars could really kick the electric vehicle transition into high gear
Electric car discounts are too meagre to help the low-paid and car-dependent.
