Mercedes has the Smart Ebike on the market in Toronto, but have sold next to none. I've never seen one, other than in the MB showroom and it was still the 250w, Euro spec model, The salesperson told me that buyers will get a North American spec'ed motor replacement/upgrade sometime in 2013 when it becomes available.
The Audi Ebike is not yet available here. The Volkswagon Electric scooter is not available here. The BMW eBike is an early design exercise and is not available anywhere.
