I'm considering buying a strap-on motor for a bicycle for this summer, such as the one at http://www.motorizedbicycle.ca/bicycle- ... r-kit.html . However, I haven't been able to find any clear answers about what part of the law, if any, they fall under. The kit in question has a motor with a displacement of more than 50 cubic centimeters, which seems to mean it doesn't fall under the HTA's definition of a 'motor assisted bicycle'; and even if the displacement was small enough, I'm not sure whether the clutch would also disqualify it. From the news article at http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2012/08 ... _zone.html is the quote: So, does anyone on this board know what laws, if any, are applicable to such motorized bicycles?

But traffic laws are still muddy on the legality of gas-powered bikes on Ontario roads.
"Its this really strange grey zone," said Const. Clinton Stibbe from Traffic Services.
Gas-powered bikes still have working pedals. If the cyclist is pedaling, both criminal law and the Highway Traffic Act consider it as a regular bike.
But if the cyclist fires up the engine usually controlled by squeezing a lever on the handlebar the bike becomes a motorized vehicle. Now, the cyclist is restricted from using bike lanes.
...
Although bicycles with gas-powered motors arent ideal for Toronto streets, Stibbe says theyre not illegal.
"We cant, at this point, arrest someone if theyre operating it according to the rules of the road," he said.
Although some motorized bikes are considered mopeds under the Ministry of Transportations definition, many are not. The bike involved in Thursdays accident was manufactured by Shandong Incalcu Electric Vehicle Co., a Chinese manufacturer that doesnt meet Ontarios commercial motor vehicle safety standards.
The standards require motorized bikes to have safety features such as have lights, a horn and acceleration and breaking requirements.
Bikes that dont meet these standards dont require insurance or license plates like mopeds. However, riders still need to be at least 16 years old.
So, does anyone on this board know what laws, if any, are applicable to such motorized bicycles?

"Then again, maybe I'm wrong."
I think you answered your own question. I didn't think there was an exception for under 50cc. You will be treated as a moped. I know someone who was charged with no license, no insurance, no valid permit.

Looking at the HTA at http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/html/statut ... 0h08_e.htm , and skimming the Definitions section, part of the definition of a "motor assisted bicycle" includes "has an attached motor driven by electricity or having a piston displacement of not more than fifty cubic centimetres", so the bicycle with the motor kit I linked to previously doesn't qualify. A "power-assisted bicycle" refers to the Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations which, at http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regu ... age-1.html , only refers to vehicles with "electric motors"; so that doesn't describe it either. "Bicycle" might (or might not), and "motor vehicle" includes "any other vehicle propelled or driven otherwise than by muscular power" so that might (or might not), and "motorcycle" might (or might not)... As the newspaper article mentioned, it seems to be a big gray area. At the very least, it seems to be gray enough to be up to an individual police officer's interpretation, which goes against the idea of having the rule of law in the first place. From what I've been able to gather from various online sources, I /think/ that it's legal to use the above-linked engine kit with a bicycle, without requiring a license. I'm hoping that someone reading this thread will be able to offer any references that are more solid than the ones I've found so far, one way or the other.

"motor vehicle" includes an automobile, a motorcycle, a motor-assisted bicycle unless otherwise indicated in this Act, and any other vehicle propelled or driven otherwise than by muscular power, but does not include a street car or other motor vehicle running only upon rails, a power-assisted bicycle, a motorized snow vehicle, a traction engine, a farm tractor, a self-propelled implement of husbandry or a road-building machine;
It's crystal clear that your DIY bike will fall under the definition of a "motor vehicle". Because your bike does not qualify as a Motor-Assisted Bicycle you can't use the restrict limited-speed motorcycle license, i'm not sure what class license you need or if it exists.
The Criminal Code of Canada defines a "motor vehicle" as follows: "motor vehicle" means a vehicle that is drawn, propelled or driven by any means other than muscular power, but does not include railway equipment.
Permit requirements
7. (1) No person shall drive a motor vehicle on a highway unless,
(a) there exists a currently validated permit for the vehicle;
(b) there are displayed on the vehicle, in the prescribed manner,
(i) number plates issued in accordance with the regulations showing the number of the permit issued for the vehicle, or
(c) evidence of the current validation of the permit is affixed, in the prescribed manner, to,
(i) one of the number plates mentioned in subclause (b) (i) displayed on the vehicle, or
(ii) to a mini-plate attached to the number plate exposed on the rear of the vehicle, if number plates described in subsection (7.2) are displayed on the vehicle. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 7 (1); 2000, c. 29, s. 1 (1).
Compulsory automobile insurance
2. (1) Subject to the regulations, no owner or lessee of a motor vehicle shall,
(a) operate the motor vehicle; or
(b) cause or permit the motor vehicle to be operated,
on a highway unless the motor vehicle is insured under a contract of automobile insurance. 1994, c. 11, s. 383; 1996, c. 21, s. 50 (3).
Drivers licence
32. (1) No person shall drive a motor vehicle on a highway unless the motor vehicle is within a class of motor vehicles in respect of which the person holds a drivers licence issued to him or her under this Act. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 32 (1).
Thank you /very/ much for these links - they help tremendously in clearing up a good deal of the gray area. R. v. Ryan indicates that if a vehicle is uninsurable - which, given that such motorized bicycles lack VINs can be taken as a default - then there is no crime in not having insurance for it. I do not currently have a driver's license, so 'driving while suspended' would also seem to not be a worry. Since it's gasoline-powered rather than electric, the power-assisted bicycle category in the HTA doesn't apply. Since it has a saddle, it seems reasonably certain that if bike-plus-motor qualifies as a 'motor assisted bicycle' then it is one, otherwise it counts as a 'motorcycle'. The main reason the motor kit I first described doesn't qualify is that its piston displacement is too large. Upon a bit of further investigation, I've found a near-identical kit, with a displacement of only 48 cc ( http://www.motorizedbicycle.ca/bicycle- ... r-kit.html ). That would seem to solve most of the outstanding issues, for example section 61. of the HTA says that motor-assisted bicycles don't count as 'motor vehicles' for that part. And as long as the whole thing counts as a MAB instead of a motorcycle, the only section under the Licensing part of the act that mentions them is s. 38., which sets the minimum age. There is still /some/ gray area left, though, but I think it falls in the favor of being able to ride such vehicles instead of simply prohibiting them entirely. For example, in regards to licensing, the FAQ at http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/dandv/ ... -faq.shtml describes limited-speed motorcycles and mopeds in ways that seem to exclude the bicycle-plus-48cc-motor, which seems to imply that such a license is unavailable for that vehicle, which seems to imply that such a license is unnecessary. My plan - such as it is - is to use the strap-on engine as a boost while bicycle-camping, to help extend the range I can travel and reduce fatigue from pedaling (especially when going uphill). Gasoline is easy to acquire on most of the routes I've been looking at; electric charge, much less so. So I'm afraid that the battery and engine of an ebike would be mostly dead weight during such trips, which would defeat the purpose.

"Then again, maybe I'm wrong."
Here is another article where the MTO & Waterloo Regional Police have responded http://www.therecord.com/sports-story/2 ... fine-mess/ Officials from the Ontario Ministry of Transportation and Waterloo Regional Police say theyre illegal motorized cycles. Theyre not the same as electric e-bikes, which run on batteries and are allowed under special provincial legislation. "A converted moped would not meet the 12 federal safety standards for limited-speed motorcycles, and therefore would not be registered for use on Ontarios public roads," said Bob Nichols, a Transportation Ministry spokesperson. Nor does having a 50 cubic centimetre or smaller gas engine exempt you from licensing and insurance laws, said Sgt. Dave Reibel, a former traffic squad officer with the regional police. Get caught driving without insurance and you face a minimum $5,000 fine and problems getting insurance in future. "Its not illegal to sell (motor conversion kits), because you can use them on private property or your farm. As soon as you go off private property, you have a problem," Reibel said. Your website also has a disclaimer http://www.motorizedbicycle.ca/disclaimer[quote]Not all motorized bicycles are allowed for on road use. We make no guarantee as to the road legality of these bike motors.

I owned one many years ago. It was a Hercules model.(it would go 100 miles on a tank) tank held 3 liters. Rules at that time :::none:::: Except engine must be under 50 cc and pedals working and top speed of 28 kph. The rules have changed. Back then it was no different then a bicycle. Cheers Viper1

"hang onto your chair when reading my posts

I sent a message to the Ministry of Transportation Ontario inquiring for the details, and just got back a reply, which includes this paragraph: A bicycle on which a gasoline engine has been installed is a motor vehicle, but because it is not a motor vehicle which has been certified to federal standards by a vehicle manufacturer it cannot be registered for on-road use. The vehicle may be used on private property, with the property-owners permission; however, it may not be operated on a public road. Since the vehicle type in question is a modified bicycle, it is not a motorcycle or moped. Therefore the vehicle is most accurately described as a "non-compliant motor vehicle." Thus it appears that the MTO's official position is that motorized bicycles - which would seem to include the "motor-assisted bicycles" from the Highway Traffic Act - are verboten. It's a shame - I was starting to look forward to using one to improve my bicycle-camping experience.

Hi, I am new to the forum. I have been trying to get information off of here and www.ticketcombat.com for my case.
I was given a ticket for going 122km/h in a posted 100km/h zone at Hwy 401 east at Thickson Rd in Whitby ON on April 10th, 2009.
I find this absolutely absurd, since I was in the left most lane of the 401 approximately(within 5km/h) following the speed of traffic in my lane. The guy in…
Hey this is my first ticket so as much information that people can provide will be appreciated. I was making the drive home going around 90kph(in a 80) behind what I knew was an undercover police car. The cop abruptly pulled to the side and pulled back in behind me to pull me over. Now I reduced my speed to below 80 when the cop pulled to the side but he claimed he had me clocked at 109kph and…
On Wednesday I attended court at 1530 Markham Road, courtroom E2, in order to fight my speeding ticket. My original plan was to plead not guilty, and to watch all the people who went before me, the process, the Prosecutor and the Justice Of The Peace so I could strategize and form the best plan for my defence at trial. I had done some research online and sort of knew I wanted to defend myself,…
About 5 months ago I was driving along a two-way road approaching an intersection. The road had a left/ straight turning lane and a right turning lane. There was an 18 wheel gravel truck occupying the left lane at a red light. I pulled behind the truck intending to drive straight. After not moving for about 1 second, I check my rear view mirror, signaled and changed lanes to the right…

The trailer has sides 24" high. I didn't have a tie-down or bungee…
I've been researching for months for defence strategy and basic trial information regarding my speeding ticket. However, the information is so conflicting that I have no confidence whatsoever that I know what I'm doing.
I didn't get this info from a friend of a friend, it came from this website, court officials, case laws, and a consultation with a traffic ticket fighting company.
So I was driving east bound pulling an empty tandem trailer on a gravel highway. Eventually I caught up to a truck pulling a fifth wheel. The speed limit was 70km/h and I don't quite remember but I'm almost 100% that the guy in front of me was driving at 60km/h. After being behind him for a few kilometers and getting two cracks in my windshield from rocks off his tires, I decided to pass him. I…
