Rules and Safety

However you ride

  • Ride on the road, in bike lanes or on paths that allow wheels — not on the sidewalk.
  • eBikes are capped at a 500W motor, and the assist must cut out when you stop pedalling.
  • eScooters are legal only in the communities taking part in the province's pilot.
  • Lights front and back, and a working bell, from dusk until dawn.
  • The same impaired-riding laws apply on a bike as in a car.

The rules of British Columbia, summarised — not legal advice. They change, and riding within them is your responsibility.
