No — a licence or insurance is not required to operate an electric trike. Electric trikes that meet Canada’s federal or provincial e-bike definition are classified as power-assisted bicycles. This means they must have pedals, a motor rated at 500 W or less, and a top speed of 32 km/h. Always check local bylaws for any restrictions on using trikes on bike paths or multi-use trails.

The best budget e-bike depends on your budget and the type of riding you want to do.

At the lowest price points, you can find very basic options on online marketplaces, but value usually comes down to the overall package: performance, build quality, battery quality, and the after-sales support you can access if you need help later.

If you can, it’s worth seeing a few bikes in person and taking a quick test ride to compare comfort, fit, and real-world feel. You can also visit a nearby dealer to get hands-on advice and support: https://emmo.ca/pages/locations

An electric cargo bike is designed with a reinforced frame and extended rear or front area to carry heavy loads, children, groceries, or equipment. These utility e-bikes often feature high load capacity, integrated racks, and wide tires for added stability and control. The Trobic Pro offers all these features with a stable three-wheel design, making it easy to ride even when fully loaded.

Yes — most EMMO e-bikes are equipped with an on-demand throttle, allowing you to ride without pedalling when needed. Pedal assist can be used for better range, efficiency, and control whenever possible. When using the throttle, always follow local traffic regulations, including speed limits and e-bike classification rules, which may vary by province or municipality.

It’s generally safe when using certified lithium batteries like EMMO’s SafeSeal™ packs. Charge the battery in a well-ventilated area, keep the charger away from flammable surfaces, and do not leave the battery unattended while charging. For best battery health and safety, unplug the charger once charging is complete.

UL (Underwriters Laboratories) certification is widely recognized in North America as a leading safety standard for a wide range of products. In today’s e-bike industry, two common UL standards are UL 2271, which focuses on lithium-ion battery safety, and UL 2849, which evaluates the full e-bike electrical system (including the battery, charger, motor, wiring, and key safety functions). An e-bike that meets these standards has been tested to rigorous safety requirements. EMMO electric bicycles are both UL 2271 and UL 2849 certified.

Mobility scooters with three or four wheels are ideal for seniors or users with limited mobility.
