E-bike safety
You must wear a helmet while riding a bike, regardless of whether it is electric. Per the Street and Traffic Bylaw, the following equipment is required from dusk to dawn (30 minutes after sunset to 30 minutes before sunrise):
- a light lamp mounted on the front
- a red reflector
- a lighted lamp, mounted on the back, displaying a red light
Additionally, riders should ensure their e-bike meets provincial e-bike standards.
Please keep in mind that e-bikes can be much faster and heavier than pedestrians and conventional bikes. Ride with care and be considerate of other riders and pedestrians.
