You could buy a really cheap, barely functional car for 1k. You trade it in, get a 6k bike for free, and then you sell the bike.

As linked in the thread, you must have been the owner of the car for 1 year to be eligible.

According to an earlier post, the cap is 40% of both bike and car price. If you trade in a car for 200, your max ebike refund is 80.
