Canadian-Designed Electric Bikes (2026): 12 Picks from $1,599 to $3,899

Published: February 2026  |  By: Zeus eBikes Canada

Buying a Canadian-designed electric bike means something specific: a product engineered by people who ride in Canadian winters, test on Canadian terrain, and answer the phone from a Canadian area code when something goes wrong. It does not mean paying more. It means paying smarter.

Zeus eBikes built a dedicated Canadian-designed eBike collection featuring 12 models from two Canadian brands — Taubik and Movin' — covering commuting, trails, fat tire off-road, folding, delivery, and even a three-wheeled electric trike. Every battery uses Samsung 21700 cells with UL certification. Every model ships free across Canada. Prices run from $1,599 to $3,899 CAD.

This is the complete guide to every Canadian-designed electric bike we carry, who each one is built for, and which one matches your ride.

Why Buy a Canadian-Designed Electric Bike

Canadian-designed electric bikes are engineered specifically for Canadian riding conditions — cold weather battery performance, hill-climbing power for our terrain, and compliance with Canadian power-assisted bicycle regulations. That matters more than where the parts are assembled.

Three practical advantages separate Canadian-designed eBikes from direct imports:

• Canadian customer support. Taubik and Movin' both operate Canadian support teams. When a brake needs adjustment or a display throws an error code in February, you are calling someone in your time zone who understands Canadian shipping, warranty, and parts logistics — not navigating an overseas email chain with a 14-hour time difference.
• Designed for Canadian conditions. Battery sizing, tire selection, suspension tuning, and motor calibration are all done with Canadian terrain and weather in mind. The Movin' Tempo Max ships with a 960Wh battery specifically because Canadian winters cut range by 20–40% — the oversized pack absorbs that loss.
• Legal compliance by default. Every model in this collection (except the Westridge 4T Off Road, which is purpose-built for off-road use) ships with a 500W motor limited to 32 km/h — matching Canada's federal definition of a power-assisted bicycle. No legal grey area. For details on wattage regulations, read our guide to 500W vs 750W vs 1000W eBikes in Canada.

Supporting Canadian businesses is a good reason. Getting better support, better winter performance, and legal certainty is a better one.

What Every Canadian-Designed eBike in This Collection Shares

Before diving into individual models, here is the shared DNA across all 12 bikes. These are not optional extras — they are the baseline standard that Taubik and Movin' build every model on.

Every bike in this guide starts from a strong, consistent foundation. The differences — motor type, sensor type, tire width, suspension, and battery size — are what match each model to a specific rider and ride.

All 12 Canadian-Designed eBikes at a Glance

Every Canadian-designed electric bike in the Zeus collection, sorted by price. Sensor type and tire width are the two specs that most affect ride feel — scan those columns first.

Best Canadian eBikes for Commuting

Three Movin' and Taubik models are purpose-built for daily Canadian commuting — paved paths, city streets, and moderate hills. All three include fenders, rear racks, and integrated lights out of the box.

1. Movin' Tempo Max — $1,599 (Best Value)

The Movin' Tempo Max is the best-value Canadian-designed eBike in this guide. The 960Wh Samsung battery is the largest in any model under $2,000 in our entire catalogue — delivering 80–90 km of rated range and roughly 55–70 km in Canadian winter.

• Motor: 500W hub · Battery: 960Wh (48V 20Ah Samsung) · Sensor: Cadence
• Range: 80–90 km rated · 55–70 km winter · Weight: 60 lb
• Brakes: Tektro hydraulic disc, 160mm · Drivetrain: Shimano 7-speed
• Extras: Selle Royal gel saddle, adjustable Promax stem, rear rack, fenders
• Warranty: 2 years (longest in this lineup)

Best for: Budget-conscious commuters who want maximum range per charge. The cadence sensor keeps things simple — pedal and go. At 60 lb with battery, it is not ultralight, but the adjustable stem and 26" × 2.1" puncture-resistant tires make it comfortable for longer rides.

2. Movin' Tempo Commuter — $1,699 (Best Ride Feel)

The Movin' Tempo Commuter costs $100 more than the Max but adds a torque sensor — the motor responds proportionally to how hard you pedal, not just whether you are pedalling. The result is a more natural, intuitive ride feel that experienced cyclists prefer.

• Motor: 500W hub · Battery: 720Wh (48V 15Ah Samsung) · Sensor: Torque
• Range: 60–80 km rated · 40–55 km winter · Weight: 52 lb (42 lb without battery)
• Brakes: Tektro hydraulic disc, 160mm · Drivetrain: Shimano 7-speed
• Extras: Selle Royal gel saddle, Suntour adjustable fork, rear rack, fenders
• Warranty: 2 years

Best for: Commuters who value ride quality over raw range. At 52 lb with battery, it is the lightest Movin' model and the lightest commuter in this guide. For a detailed breakdown of how torque and cadence sensors affect your ride, see our pedal assist vs throttle guide.

3. Taubik Soho 50 — $2,199 (Lightest Build)

The Taubik Soho 50 is the lightest Canadian-designed eBike at 29 kg (64 lb). It runs street-optimised tires on a clean, minimal frame in five colour options.

• Motor: 500W Sutto (1kW peak), 65Nm · Battery: 720Wh Samsung · Sensor: Cadence
• Range: Up to 100 km rated · 40–60 km winter · Weight: 64 lb
• Brakes: Zoom hydraulic disc, 180mm · Drivetrain: Shimano 7-speed
• Tires: 26" × 2.2" Kenda Kwik Drumlin (pavement-optimised)
• Colours: Black, Blue, Taupe, Red, Mauve

Best for: Commuters who carry their bike up stairs, load it onto transit, or store it in a small apartment. The lighter weight comes from the narrower street tires and Sutto motor — you sacrifice fat tire off-road traction for everyday urban agility.

Best Canadian eBikes for Urban & Compact Riding

Two models deliver compact frames with 20-inch wheels — built for riders who need a smaller bike for city storage, vehicle transport, or mixed-mode commuting (bike + transit).

4. Taubik Monaco — $2,099 (Compact Urban)

The Taubik Monaco is a compact urban eBike with a moped-style frame on 20-inch wheels. Low centre of gravity, tight turning radius, and quick acceleration make it ideal for stop-and-go city traffic.

• Motor: 500W (1kW peak), 55Nm · Battery: 720Wh Samsung · Sensor: Cadence
• Range: Up to 100 km rated · 40–60 km winter · Weight: 68.5 lb
• Brakes: Zoom hydraulic disc, 180mm · Drivetrain: Shimano 8-speed
• Tires: 20" × 3.0" Kenda street · Speed: 32 km/h (unlockable to 41 km/h off-road)
• Colours: Green, Black, Blue, Robin's Egg

Best for: City riders who want a moped-style frame that stores compactly. The 20-inch wheels accelerate faster than 26-inch but feel less stable at high speed — ideal for stop-and-go urban riding, not highway-speed commuting.

→ View the Taubik Monaco on Zeus eBikes — $2,099

5. Taubik Escape Folding — $2,199 (Folds for Storage)

The Taubik Escape Folding is the only folding eBike in the Canadian-designed collection. A folding frame with fat tires — it folds small but rides big.

• Motor: 500W Bafang (1kW peak), 85Nm · Battery: 720Wh Samsung · Sensor: Cadence
• Range: Up to 100 km rated · 40–60 km winter · Weight: 67 lb (30.3 kg)
• Brakes: Zoom hydraulic disc, 180mm · Drivetrain: Shimano 7-speed
• Tires: 20" × 4.0" Kenda Krusade fat tires · Frame: Folding 6061 aluminium
• Speed: 32 km/h (unlockable to 41 km/h off-road)

Best for: RV travellers, condo dwellers without bike storage, or anyone who combines cycling with driving or transit. This bike fits in a car boot, a boat cabin, or a condo closet. Compare it against our full ranking of the best folding eBikes in Canada.

Best Canadian eBikes for Trails & Mountains

Two Taubik models with torque sensors, larger wheels, and suspension systems designed for Canadian singletrack, fire roads, and gravel trails.

6. Taubik Alps 2024 — $2,199 (Full Suspension Mid-Drive)

The Taubik Alps 2024 is the most interesting bike in this collection. It is the only mid-drive motor and the only full-suspension model in the entire Canadian-designed lineup. At $2,199 for a full-suspension mid-drive, it undercuts most hub-motor hardtails from competing brands.

• Motor: 500W Bafang mid-drive, 58Nm · Battery: 720Wh Samsung · Sensor: Torque
• Range: Up to 100 km rated · 40–60 km winter · Weight: 65 lb (29.7 kg)
• Front Suspension: Mozo air forks · Rear Suspension: A5 air shock
• Brakes: Zoom hydraulic disc, 180mm · Drivetrain: Shimano 8-speed
• Tires: 29" × 2.6" Kenda Booster Pro
• Colours: Orange, Black, High Visibility Green

Why mid-drive matters: Mid-drive motors deliver power through the drivetrain, multiplying torque through the gears. The Alps' 58Nm sounds lower than the Westridge 29T's 90Nm hub motor, but real-world climbing power is comparable — the mid-drive uses mechanical advantage, especially in lower gears. For a deeper comparison, read our mid-drive vs hub motor guide.

7. Taubik Westridge 29T — $2,499 (Hardtail Mountain)

The Taubik Westridge 29T is a hardtail mountain eBike with the highest torque output in the Taubik lineup. The 29-inch wheels roll over obstacles better than 26-inch alternatives and hold speed on rough terrain.

• Motor: 500W hub (1kW peak), 90Nm · Battery: 720Wh Samsung · Sensor: Torque
• Range: Up to 100 km rated · 40–60 km winter · Weight: 65 lb (29.7 kg)
• Suspension: Mozo coil forks (front only — hardtail)
• Brakes: Zoom hydraulic disc, 180mm · Drivetrain: Shimano 8-speed
• Tires: 29" × 2.4" Kenda Booster Pro

Best for: Dedicated mountain bikers who want a responsive hardtail with real torque for steep Canadian climbs. The torque sensor gives this bike a natural pedal feel that cadence-sensor models cannot match on technical terrain. Browse our full mountain eBike roundup to see how it compares.

Best Canadian eBikes for Fat Tire & Off-Road

Three models built with fat tires for maximum traction on snow, sand, gravel, and rough terrain — from an all-season daily rider to a purpose-built 1000W off-road machine.

8. Taubik Tour — $2,199 (Fat Tire Touring)

The Taubik Tour is the original Taubik fat tire eBike — a proven all-rounder with five colour options and solid specs at a competitive price.

• Motor: 500W Bafang (1kW peak), 80Nm · Battery: 720Wh Samsung · Sensor: Cadence
• Range: Up to 100 km rated · 40–60 km winter · Weight: 77 lb (34.9 kg)
• Suspension: RST coil forks · Brakes: Zoom hydraulic disc, 180mm
• Drivetrain: Shimano 8-speed · Tires: 26" × 4.0" Kenda Juggernaut Pro
• Colours: Orange, British Racing Green, Metallic Blue, Black, Taupe

Best for: Recreational riders and tourers who want the security of fat tires for light trails, gravel roads, and winter commuting. The cadence sensor keeps operation simple. Heavier than the trail-focused Westridge 29T but the fat tires provide significantly more traction in loose conditions.

9. Taubik Westridge 4T — $2,599 (All-Season Fat Tire)

The Taubik Westridge 4T is the Tour's premium sibling — same Kenda Juggernaut Pro fat tires, but with a torque sensor and air suspension that transform the ride quality.

• Motor: 500W Bafang (1kW peak), 80Nm · Battery: 720Wh Samsung · Sensor: Torque
• Range: Up to 100 km rated · 40–60 km winter · Weight: 78 lb (35.2 kg)
• Suspension: RST air forks (adjustable, lockout) · Brakes: Zoom hydraulic disc, 180mm
• Drivetrain: Shimano 8-speed · Tires: 26" × 4.0" Kenda Juggernaut Pro

Best for: All-season Canadian riders who want one bike for every condition — snow, mud, gravel, and pavement. The torque sensor and air forks justify the $400 premium over the Tour for riders who plan to ride year-round.

10. Westridge 4T Off Road — $3,299 (Maximum Power)

The Westridge 4T Off Road is the most powerful Canadian-designed eBike in this collection — and the only model with a 1000W motor and Maxxis rubber.

• Motor: 1000W Bafang, 90Nm · Battery: 960Wh (48V 20Ah Samsung) · Sensor: Torque
• Range: Up to 100 km rated · 50–65 km winter · Weight: 81 lb
• Suspension: Mozo coil forks · Brakes: Zoom hydraulic disc, 180mm
• Drivetrain: Shimano 8-speed · Tires: 26" × 4.8" Maxxis Minion

Best for: Off-road enthusiasts, hunters, and rural property owners who need maximum traction and power exclusively off-road. Those are not generic fat tires — Maxxis Minion is the same rubber used on $5,000+ downhill mountain bikes. If you want a hunting eBike that can haul gear through rough bush, this is the Canadian-designed option.

Best Canadian eBike for Delivery & Cargo

11. Movin' Pulse Fat Tire — $1,999–$2,799 (Dual Battery Cargo)

The Movin' Pulse Fat Tire is the only model in this collection built specifically for delivery and cargo work — and the only one with dual-battery capability.

• Motor: 500W hub · Sensor: Cadence · Speed: 32 km/h
• Battery Options: Single 20Ah ($1,999) · Dual 20Ah+25Ah ($2,499) · Dual 20Ah+15Ah ($2,799)
• Max Battery Capacity: 2,160Wh (dual 20Ah + 25Ah configuration)
• Rack Capacity: 50 kg (110 lb) rear rack · Brakes: Tektro hydraulic, 180mm
• Suspension: RST lockout fork · Tires: 20" × 4.0" CST puncture-resistant

Best for: Delivery riders, small business owners, and anyone who hauls heavy loads daily. The dual-battery system means you can run a full delivery shift without range anxiety — 2,160Wh is nearly double what most cargo eBikes carry. The fat tires handle winter delivery routes where standard tires slip. If you are looking at delivery eBikes, also compare our full best electric bikes for delivery in Canada guide.
