BOSTON - A proposal under consideration on Beacon Hill would provide hundreds of dollars in rebates for people who buy electric bikes.

They are referred to as e-bikes and they are touted as a way to ease traffic congestion and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but they are pricey, ranging between $1,000 and $5,000.

In an effort to make them more accessible, last fall lawmakers approved a million dollars for the Department of Energy Resources to establish a rebate program for e-bike purchases.
