Minnesotans can get up to $1,500 towards the purchase of an electric bicycle under a new program approved by the DFL-led state legislature this year.

The bill earmarks $4 million for the rebate program over the next few years, which will be administered by the Department of Revenue on a first-come, first-served basis.
