Where you can ride

You can ride your e-bike on most roads and highways where conventional bicycles are permitted, with some exceptions.

You cannot ride your e-bike on:

• certain provincial controlled access highways, such as the 400 series, the Queen Elizabeth Way, the Queensway in Ottawa or the Kitchener-Waterloo Expressway

• municipal roads, including sidewalks, where bicycles are banned under municipal bylaws

• municipal roads, sidewalks, bike paths, bike trails or bike lanes where e-bikes are prohibited

E-bike requirements

To operate an e-bike in Ontario, the e-bike must have:

• a maximum assisted speed of 32 km/h

• a maximum weight of 120 kg (includes the weight of the bike and battery)

• an electric motor not exceeding 500 watts

• no modifications to the motor to allow it to exceed a power output greater than 500 watts and an assisted speed greater than 32 km/h

• battery and electric motor securely fastened to the bicycle frame to prevent them from moving while the e-bike is operating

• all electrical terminals properly insulated

• minimum wheel width of 35 mm and minimum diameter of 350 mm

• two independent braking systems that applies force to each wheel and is capable of bringing the e-bike, while being operated at a speed of 30 km/h, to a full stop within 9 metres, on a level asphalt surface, from the point at which the brakes were applied

Removing the pedals makes the e-bike a motor vehicle, which requires a licence, insurance and registration to operate. It is also illegal to modify your e-bike's electric motor to make it more powerful or to increase the assisted speed of the bike.
