Frequently Asked Questions

How much money can I save by switching to an e-bike in Canada?

On average, Canadian riders can save thousands of dollars per year by avoiding gas, car insurance, parking, and costly maintenance. E-bikes cost only cents to recharge and require very little upkeep compared to cars.

Yes! E-bikes are ideal for city commuting. They let you skip traffic jams, use bike lanes, and park for free. Many Canadian cities are expanding cycling infrastructure, making daily e-bike commuting even easier.

Absolutely. E-bikes use pedal assist, which means you still pedal while the motor gives you a boost. This reduces strain on hills or long rides while still burning calories and building endurance.

E-bikes produce zero direct emissions and use only a fraction of the energy of a car. One full battery charge typically costs less than $0.10 in electricity while significantly reducing your carbon footprint.

Yes, with the right gear. Many Canadians ride through all four seasons by using winter tires, fenders, and proper clothing. Just like traditional bikes, e-bikes can be adapted for year-round commuting.

In most provinces, e-bikes that meet federal guidelines (500W max motor, 32 km/h top speed) do not require a license or insurance. Always check your local provincial regulations for specific rules.

Most e-bikes in Canada have a range between 50–100 km per charge, depending on terrain, rider weight, assist level, and battery size. That’s more than enough for daily commuting or recreational rides.

Yes, e-bikes make cycling more accessible. The pedal assist reduces strain on knees and joints, making it easier for older adults or riders recovering from injury to enjoy cycling again.

Pedal assist boosts your pedaling effort, while a throttle allows you to ride without pedaling (like a scooter). Many Canadian e-bikes offer both features, so you can choose depending on your needs.

Consider where and how you’ll ride most often. For city commuting, look at step-thru or folding e-bikes. For trails and hills, a mountain or fat-tire e-bike works best. Cargo e-bikes are great for families or deliveries. Visiting a local showroom or trusted online retailer like Ebike Canada helps ensure you find the right fit.
