    House Representatives Panetta & Blumenauer introduce "e-bike Act" federal tax credit

    "....bike must cost less than $8,000 dollars" "..........the same credit for a $5,000 dollar eBike as you would for a $8,000 dollar eBike." Last time I checked $8,000 was equal to $8,000 and not less than $8,000.
