Specifi c Riding Requirements

Power-assisted bicycles are treated as bicycles. This means:

 

• No driver’s licence is required

 

• No written test is required

 

• No vehicle registration or license plate is required

 

• No motor vehicle liability insurance is required

 

• Operators must be 16 years of age and older

 

• All persons are required to wear an approved bicycle helmet

 

• Only electric bicycles that conform to the federal Motor Vehicle Safety Act regula-

 

  tions and are labelled as a “power-assisted bicycle” are eligible for the pilot program.

Equipment

A power-assisted bicycle (e-bike):

 

• Has steering handlebars and is equipped with pedals

 

• Is designed to be propelled primarily by muscular power and to travel on not  

 

 

  

   more than three wheels

 

• Has a motor that has a power output rating of 500W or less. The motor is electric,

 

  and is incapable of propelling the cycle at speed of 32km/h or greater on level  

 

 

   

  ground, without pedaling.

 

• It must bear label indicating that it is a “Power-Assisted Bicycle.”

Safety Equipment

Power-assisted bicycles will require the same safety equipment as bicycles under the

Highway Traffi  c Act:

 

• Proper lights

 

• Proper brakes

 

• Proper bell

Bicycle Helmets

Anyone operating an e-bike will be required to wear an approved bicycle helmet. There will be no age ex-
emptions.

Fines and Penalties 

All the set fi nes established for violating rules of the road and equipment standards that apply to bicyclists 

would apply to drivers of e-bikes. However, off ences directly related to the pilot program (i.e.; riding an 

e-bike under the age of 16 or anyone riding an e-bike without a helmet) would be subject to the higher fi nes 

set for pilot projects, ranging from

$250 to $2,500.

Drinking and Driving 

Drinking and driving a motor vehicle is a Criminal Code off ence and charges are laid under the Criminal Code 

of Canada. Under the Criminal Code, the defi nition of a “motor vehicle” would include an e-bike and anyone 

operating an e-bike intoxicated could be charged for impaired driving. If convicted, the off ender would be 

subject to the Criminal Code penalties, including a fi ne or jail time, and a driving prohibition. However, under 

this pilot regulation, an e-bike would not be a motor vehicle under the Highway Traffi  c Act, so penalties for 

impaired driving under the Act would not apply.
