Electric Motorcycle Style EBike

A motorcycle style ebike is an electric bike that looks like a motorcycle but includes pedals and is limited to a maximum speed of 32 km/h. In most provinces, it is legally classified as an ebike, meaning no license, registration, or insurance is required. However, some regions like Quebec have different regulations — this type of vehicle may not be recognized as an ebike there. Please check your local laws before riding.

An electric motorcycle is a motor vehicle — it requires a license, insurance, and registration.

A motorcycle style ebike, on the other hand, may look similar but is legally classified as an electric bicycle in most parts of Canada. This means it does not require a license or insurance, as long as it meets local e-bike regulations (such as having pedals and a speed limit of 32 km/h). Laws may vary by province.

Electric motorcycles are generally more reliable than gas-powered bikes. With fewer moving parts, there’s less risk of mechanical failure or breakdown. They’re also easier to operate, require less routine maintenance, and produce no tailpipe emissions.

Apple CarPlay lets riders access navigation, music, and calls through the motorcycle display—hands-free and distraction-reduced. It enhances safety and convenience, especially for urban or long-distance rides.
