"The program was successful in showing that if you give people the opportunity to get an e-bike in an affordable manner, that they will take that opportunity and they will use e-bikes,"

CalBike demanded that remaining funds instead be directed toward California e-bike expansion programs and issued an action alert urging a reversal.
