Ontario Laws

Love 'em or hate 'em, e-bikes have been a hot topic for discussion here.

The province has opened up the discussion of e-bikes, and where they fit into the regulatory framework in Ontario. This follows up on the Stakeholder meeting hosted by MTO on June 16th, and means that everyone can tell the province exactly how they feel the e-bikes pilot has been going, and what how the province should be handling these things going forward. You can through the website and also read the backgrounder.

Comments are due by July 9th. The pilot ends on October 3rd. The referenced document highlights some of the concerns that the province is aware of, and is looking for specific feedback on, such as:

There are open legislative committee hearings scheduled for the week of Feb 9 on Bills 118 (banning cell phones while driving) and Bill 126 (young drivers, drunk drivers, Greg's Law, etc.).

You or somebody you know may be interested in making a presentation to the committee.
