E-bikes and e-scooters are more popular than ever. Once bulky and expensive, today’s models are lighter, more powerful, and more affordable. They’re a great option for expanding your range without needing to drive. However, riding safely is essential to protect yourself and others on the road. Explore CAA’s research on current laws in Canada, along with our top tips for safe riding.
As sales of electric bicycles and scooters rise across Canada, a new study released by the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) reveals gaps in safety regulations, data collection, and public awareness, while also noting that shared mobility fleets operate with stricter rules and can be a positive example for change.
The study, commissioned by CAA and conducted by the Traffic Injury Research Foundation (TIRF), surveys how governments are regulating e-bikes and e-scooters, and presents findings of Canadian and international research into potential road safety risks associated with the use of these devices. The findings provide much-needed guidance for all levels of government.
This project was made possible through the support of the FIA and the FIA Foundation, reflecting their global commitment to safer streets, sustainable transportation, and innovative mobility solutions.
