I was stopped by Niagara Regional Police yesterday while riding an E-Bike (scooter style).I was wearing an approved bicycle helmet,charged with "fail to wear proper helmet on power-assisted bicycle".Additionally three other HTA charges,no plates,no insurance.My charges stem from the fact that the removable pedals were not on the bike,(bike was awaiting parts).Any feedback on this matter would be most welcome.My E-Bike was towed and impounded for seven days at a cost of $50.00 per day plus the tow charge.The laws pertaining to these machines are very vague it seems.

Re: E-Bikes and the HTA

As I found this post searching other related information, I wonder if the case of R. v. Pizzacalla has any effect on cases in this matter brought to court since this ruling? My apologies for rehashing this old topic if it has been addressed in another thread. Mark
