Electric bike regulations in Canada

Every now and then, a Canadian customer asks, "Can I buy a US 750W ebike?" Unfortunately, the answer is "no," and the reason is that Canada regulates that power be limited to 500W and the top speed be limited to 32 km/h. To learn more about provincial regulations, see this site: https://ebikebc.com/electric-bike-regulations-in-canada/. You may ask, "Do I need a license, registration, or insurance?" Again, there are provincial differences, specified on the noted website. Check out your province, be safe, and ride on!
