Attention Traffi  c and Training Sergeants:

Recently we have had some enquiries from offi  cers in the fi eld and members of the public 

regarding e-bikes and have found that there is some confusion over the defi nition of a 

Power Assisted Bicycle (e-bike).

According to Ontario Regulation 473/06, an e-bike that meets the defi nition is deemed 

not

to be a motor vehicle, under the Highway Traffi  c Act, and is essentially treated as a bicycle. 

Any person 16 years and over who wears a bicycle helmet as required by subsection 104 

(2.1) of the HTA may ride a power assisted bicycle on the highway. There is no

requirement for a drivers license, a permit or insurance.

The main requirements for a bicycle to be designated a “power assisted bicycle” is that it 

“is capable of being propelled by muscular power” and a “bears a label that is permanently 

affi  xed by the manufacturer stating that the vehicle is a power assisted bicycle”. Obviously 

while the e-bike is being operated on the road, the pedals must be attached and function-

al.

O. Reg 473 refers to federal Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations for a defi nition. Rick Line, TC
