As part of a $1 million plan, called the most comprehensive of its kind in the nation, Santa Cruz County residents will be eligible for discounts, rebates and even interest-free loans on electric bikes, which can cost upward of $1,000.The plan is being championed by a former fixture of the transportation establishment, Lee Iacocca, who has a vested interest because he runs EV Global, a Los Angeles company that makes electric bikes.
