Ontario cyclists can call on some motorized help to tackle tough hills now that the province has lifted a ban on electric bicycles.
Transportation Minister Donna Cansfield announced Wednesday in Toronto that the province will allow bicycles powered by both human muscles and an electric motor on its roads.
Electric bikes hit the road in Ontario
Hey, Why was there a ban on e-bikes in the first place. I have travelled and lived in Asia where they are very popular and economical; a very obvious solution to air pollution. Here in Canada their use should be promoted to reduce local traffic and pollution. For folks that can’t peddle a bicycle effectively, an e-bike is a great way to join the emmission-free commute!
