Electric bicycle owners in Southern California are parting ways with their high powered two-wheelers.
After many injuries and hospitalizations, the Orange County District Attorney’s Office organized a first-of-its-kind buyback program for e-bike owners to trade in the vehicles for gift cards worth up to $1,000.
The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that the program is the first of its kind in the nation.
(function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:13613005414020198,size:[0, 0],id:"ld-9348-2349"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src="//cdn2.lockerdomecdn.com/_js/ajs.js";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,"script","ld-ajs");
On Sept. 13, residents began turning in their e-bikes in exchange for the gift cards.
