Most state e-bike rebates are not treated as taxable income, but consult a tax professional for your situation.
Most Ariel Rider Class 2 e-bikes meet program requirements: pedal-assist + throttle, 750W motor, 20 mph throttle cap, UL-certified batteries. Off-road PPB models are not street-legal and do not qualify.
