Wow, New York ain’t playing around with the transition to micromobility and greener transportation. With the earlier USA national level tax credit bill scrapped NY didn’t stop there and started to push their own state-level rebate.
What this means in practice is that the prices of electric scooters and bikes would effectively get cut in half. For example with an MSRP of $1980 the Langfeite C2 city scooter which is just perfect for the urban commuter would cost only $990 – now that would be a deal!
Word of warning though, for electric bikes the bill has defined the max power to be 750W and top speed to be 28mph (45 km/h). For electric scooters, there are no such clear limits set so it remains to be seen what kind of electric scooters would actually qualify for the rebate.
The max rebate amount is $1100 to max it out people need to buy a scooter costing $2200 or more – which really gets you a nice one!
The proposal hasn’t passed yet but it still shows the world and local populace how committed cities can be to bettering the living environment for their inhabitants. If the proposal goes through we at Langfeite wouldn’t be surprised if it would lead to a serious boom in micromobility in the city. The rebate amount is no joke and considering you can get a great compact commuter like C3 8” for just about $640 (MSRP is $1280) it’s sure to incentivize many to switch to escooters and bikes.
Who knows maybe this will be a bigger trend in the USA and other big markets. Areas with a dense population and a lot of commuter traffic might follow the example set by New York if the rebate brings expected results. Those results are better air quality and less traffic/congestion in the streets.
This year we have already seen reports on how Paris is the leader in electric scooters and how it has gone through a micromobility revolution and taken back the streets from cars, plans of London to open the streets for private electric scooters, and now this. Let’s hope the good news keeps on coming and enjoy a cleaner future together.
Check out this cool lineup from Langfeite. Maybe the electric scooter dealers in New York can sell out these beauties to customers with a -50% rebate in the future!
