An electric moped is a two-wheeled electric vehicle with a seated riding position, foot pegs or a flat floorboard, and a motorcycle-style frame. In Canada, electric mopeds fall into a grey area between e-bikes and motorcycles. The classification depends on motor power, top speed, and your province. We researched the electric moped market in Canada and found 8 models across two categories: true mopeds and moped-style e-bikes. Here is what you need to know before buying.
What Our Customers Tell Us About Electric Mopeds
Electric moped-style e-bikes are our fastest-growing category. Customer feedback shows a clear pattern: buyers want the look and comfort of a moped with the legal simplicity of an e-bike. The most common surprise after purchase: moped-style e-bikes are heavier than expected (30 to 40 kg). Customers who live in walk-up apartments without ground-floor storage struggle with daily carry. If you live above the first floor, confirm the weight before ordering. Our manufacturer partners now offer removable battery options specifically so riders can charge upstairs without carrying the full bike.
| Feature | True Electric Moped | Moped-Style E-Bike |
|---|---|---|
| Frame | Scooter body, no pedals | Bicycle frame with pedals |
| Motor | 1,000W to 3,000W+ | 500W to 1,000W |
| Top speed | 45 to 70 kph | 32 to 57 kph |
| Licence required? | Yes (most provinces) | No (if limited to 500W/32 kph) |
| Insurance required? | Yes | No |
| Registration required? | Yes | No |
| Price range | $1,800 to $4,500+ | $800 to $1,523 |
Most Canadian riders looking for a "moped" actually want a moped-style e-bike. These models have the moped look (fat tires, motorcycle seat, low frame) but ride legally as e-bikes in most provinces when speed-limited to 32 kph.
The ENGWE M20 is the most affordable moped-style e-bike in Canada. It uses a 1,000W motor, 20x4.0 fat tires, and a low moped-style frame. It reaches up to 45 kph and claims 75 km of range. The M20 is the best entry point into moped-style riding.
The CycRun 750W is a moped-style electric bike with a 750W motor and fat tires. It uses a step-through frame with a low seat height. The riding position is upright and relaxed. CycRun ships from Canadian warehouses with fast delivery.
The Emoko C93 uses a 1,000W motor, 48V battery, and fat tires in a moped-style frame. It delivers strong performance for riders who want the most powerful moped-style e-bike available. The C93 suits riders who prioritize speed and power.
The Happyrun Tank G60 Pro is the most capable moped-style e-bike in this lineup. It uses a 1,000W motor, reaches 57 kph, and claims 120 km of range. The "Tank" nickname comes from its heavy-duty frame and off-road capability. It ships to Canada directly.
| Model | Price | Motor | Top Speed | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ENGWE M20 | $800 | 1,000W | 45 kph | 75 km |
| CycRun 750W | $1,040 | 750W | 45 kph | 80 km |
| Emoko C93 | $1,498 | 1,000W | 50 kph | 80 km |
| Happyrun Tank G60 Pro | $1,523 | 1,000W | 57 kph | 120 km |
Each province defines "electric moped" and "e-bike" differently. The three most common rules:
| Province | E-Bike Max Motor | E-Bike Max Speed | Moped Requires |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ontario | 500W | 32 kph | LSM licence, insurance, registration |
| British Columbia | 500W | 32 kph | Licence, insurance, registration |
| Quebec | 500W | 32 kph | Licence class 6D, helmet, registration |
| Alberta | 500W | 32 kph | Licence, insurance, registration |
Street Rides Research catalogued every electric moped and moped-style e-bike available in Canada with verified Canadian shipping as of June 2026. We separated true mopeds (scooter bodies, no pedals) from moped-style e-bikes (bicycle frames with pedals). Provincial regulations were sourced from official government websites. This report represents approximately 5 hours of research.
It depends on the vehicle and your province. True electric mopeds (no pedals, scooter body) require a licence in all provinces. Moped-style e-bikes with pedals do not require a licence if the motor is 500W or less and the speed is limited to 32 kph.
True electric mopeds require insurance in every Canadian province. Moped-style e-bikes classified as power-assisted bicycles do not require insurance.
True electric mopeds reach 45 to 70 kph. Moped-style e-bikes reach 32 to 57 kph depending on the model and motor power. E-bike legal limit is 32 kph in most provinces.
The cheapest moped-style e-bike is the ENGWE M20 at $800. The cheapest true electric moped from established brands like EMMO starts around $1,800 at authorized dealers.
If the e-bike meets the provincial definition (500W motor, 32 kph max, has pedals), it is classified as a power-assisted bicycle. Most provinces allow power-assisted bicycles on bike paths. Check your municipality for local restrictions.
