You have a few resources.

Bikes4vets is one. You also have Semper Fi Fund's grant program to help get assistive sports equipment. I used the grant to buy a bike.

The Fund's Specialized and Adaptive Equipment Program grants cover any equipment that can improve the quality of life for service members with disabilities.

Not to sound ignorant, what value is there in having an electric mountain bike. Is the Veteran physically injured, if so, then how do they recover from a fall, if not, then why do they require electric? Again, truly don’t understand.
