Why did the ministry decide to include scooter-style e-bikes in the definition of “bicycle”?
The current position of Ontario is no different than other Canadian jurisdictions that permit e-bikes on their roads. Ontario adopted the definition of power-assisted bicycle contained in s. 2(1) of the Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations (Canada). Despite the differences in appearance, both scooter-style e-bikes and conventional-style e-bikes that meet the federal definition of a power-assisted bicycle are available in the market.
