Rider Responsibilities:

By choosing to ride an electric bicycle, you assume the responsibility for the risks involved. The rider is responsible for knowing and practicing the rules of safe and responsible riding, as well as proper use and maintenance of the bicycle.

Riders must have the physical condition, reaction time, and mental capability to ride and manage traffic, road conditions, and sudden situations. Riders should also familiarize themselves with local bylaws regarding riding an E-Bike.

If you have any impairment (hearing, physical, cognitive/language) or a seizure disorder, consult your physician before riding any bicycle.

Before Your 1st Ride:

Failure to confirm proper installation, compatibility, operation, or maintenance of any component or accessory can result in serious injury or death. Ensure correct setup, tightening, and torqueing to recommended values have been completed on your bike.

Before the first ride, familiarize yourself with all the bicycle's features. Practice and become proficient at shifting gears, applying the brakes, using the pedal-assist system, and using the throttle in a controlled setting before riding in more risky conditions. If you plan to ride at night, familiarize yourself with the lights and signals.

Regular Inspection:

Please ensure the bike works properly and safely before each ride. Inspect key components, including brakes, brake sensors, throttle, and pedal-assist sensor. Ensure all hardware, such as the handlebar, hand grips, seat, seat post, and pedals are secured in place. Have your bike inspected by a licensed mechanic regularly, depending on the bike's condition.

Do not use this product with standard bike trailers, stands, vehicle racks, or accessories that have not been tested for safety and compatibility and verified as safe and compatible with the bike by EMMO E-Bikes. Contact EMMO E-Bikes if you have any questions or concerns.

In no event shall EMMO E-Bikes be responsible for any direct, indirect, or consequential damages, including personal injury, property damage, or economic losses, whether based on contract, warranty, negligence, or product liability in connection with their products.

Rules and Regulations of Riding an E-Bike

According to Canada's Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations (MVSR), a qualified e-bike (defined as Power Assist Bicycle) must meet the following requirements:

Other requirements include a permanently affixed compliance label from the manufacturer stating that the vehicle is a power-assisted bicycle under statutory requirements in force at the time of manufacture. Currently, no license, insurance, or vehicle registration is required to operate a qualified e-bike according to federal legislation. E-Bike riders share the same rights and responsibilities as other road users.

However, provinces and local municipalities have the power to restrict the use of e-bikes. Most provinces require the rider to wear a helmet. Some provinces have special requirements regarding age limits, helmet types, and even wheel size. In Ontario, e-bikes are generally treated the same as regular bicycles. According to the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO), the age limit to operate an e-bike is 16 years old and above; the maximum weight of the bike is 120 kilograms (265 pounds); the bike must have a brake distance of less than 9 meters; any modifications made to the bike's motor to create speeds greater than 32 km/h are prohibited.

As rules and regulations are subject to change in different provinces and municipalities, please check your municipal bylaw to understand your local regulations.
