So just got off phone with ICBC .. they say i cannot register this bike or get insurance.
i want to but they say it is not possible. They agree the stipulation about pedals is very ambiguous

said they will look into it to see if the pedals must be attached to bike at all times or if it as i said..according to the ICBC wording... being capable of using pedals but not always necessary. To me means as long as i have the pedals with the bike i am ok.

muscle power?

Stokell, I have a copy of the regs. I don't see the section where it states that the primary source of power must be muscle power. Perhaps I've missed it. Can you point it out?

These ebike/scooters seem legal (in Ontario) to me for the at least the next 3 years.

I picked up a used one of these Daymak Tokyo this summer for just $500. Still looks and drives like new, lots of storage space, but would like a little longer range than the 35-40 km you effectively get.

So this fall I took the factory battery pack (12 Ah) out, widened the tube frame under the seat about an inch, and you can now fit four U1 size deep cycle AGM 35 Ah batteries. Three are stacked on top where the old battery pack was, and the last one in the tray behind the top one, all under the seat. I had to raise the seat about 2.5 inches, but that was a welcome change, as the original seat height was way too low for a 6'3" guy like me. It worked out great, can now go over 120 km no problem and use the max power setting all the way. After a 20 km round trip it still reads full charge after returning home. Next is a plexiglas windshield, in case I get caught out in rain.

Happy e-biking!
