Quick Answer Chatham-Kent has 3 verified eBike storefronts as of June 2026, and they are spread across all three communities the municipality covers: Smith Cycle & More in Chatham (Trek plus nine other brands), GreenEbike.ca in Wallaceburg (nine brands including EMMO and Daymak), and Tilbury Auto Sales & RV selling QuietKat in Tilbury. The good news for riders: Chatham-Kent has no eBike-specific municipal bylaw — local rules defer entirely to Ontario's Power-Assisted Bicycle (PAB) framework (500W, 32 km/h, age 16+, helmet for all eBike riders), and a compliant pedal-equipped eBike may ride wherever bicycles are allowed across the municipality's 70+ km of recreational trails. If no local shop has what you need, Zeus ships eBikes free across Canada, every model built to the 500W PAB standard. New to buying? Start with our best electric bikes in Canada guide.
How We Verified This Directory Each storefront was cross-referenced across the shop's own current website, Google Maps, yellowpages.ca, Yelp, AutoTrader, and Ontario By Bike (June 2026), and listed only when at least two independent sources confirmed it sells eBikes. Where a detail could not be confirmed — GreenEbike.ca does not publish a phone number or hours on its own site, and Tilbury Auto Sales' QuietKat page returned an access error to automated checks — we say so and tell you to confirm directly rather than print a number we could not verify. Bike shops that operate in Chatham-Kent but whose current eBike sales could not be confirmed (Reynold Cycle), or whose operating status at a listed address could not be verified (Chatham E-Bikes), are flagged below rather than counted as confirmed sellers. Every bylaw statement here is tied to a named primary source: the Ontario riding-an-eBike page, the Chatham-Kent Cycling page, the Ride CK transit accessibility page, and the Chatham-Kent Police April 2026 media release. Claims we could not confirm — including a previously circulated park-fine dollar figure — are removed or labelled unverified, not stated as fact. This directory is re-verified every six months.

Chatham-Kent isn't one town — it's an amalgamated municipality stitched together from Chatham, Wallaceburg, Tilbury, and dozens of smaller communities across a wide stretch of southwestern Ontario. That shapes the eBike retail map: instead of one cluster of shops, you get three verified storefronts, one in each of the larger centres. This directory lists every confirmed eBike seller, names the shops we could not confirm so you don't waste a drive, and then walks through exactly what the rules mean — because the genuinely good news in Chatham-Kent is that there is no local eBike bylaw to trip over. A compliant pedal-equipped eBike is treated as a bicycle right across the municipality's 70-plus kilometres of trails.

The 3 Verified eBike Shops in Chatham-Kent

Hours: Tue-Fri 10 am-6 pm · Sat 10 am-3 pm · closed Sun & Mon
Focus: Chatham's full-service bike shop and an authorized Trek retailer, which means access to Trek's electric lineup alongside ten brands in total. Sales plus a repair and maintenance department that handles everything from flat tires to full tear-down and rebuilds.

GreenEbike.ca (Wallaceburg E-bike) — 21 Arnold Street, Wallaceburg

Address: 21 Arnold St, Wallaceburg, ON
Phone: Not published on the shop's own site — confirm directly via wallaceburgebike.com before a special trip
Website: wallaceburgebike.com
Brands: Matrix, Evoque, Electra, EMMO, Slane, Ecolo-Cycle, Pedego, Daymak, Beachman — new and used eBikes plus mobility scooters
Hours: Not published on the shop's own site; confirm directly before visiting
Focus: Wallaceburg's dedicated eBike store, carrying nine brands across new and used inventory plus mobility scooters. Service on ALL eBikes and electric scooters, plus accessories; the shop states it does not offer rentals at this time.

Tilbury Auto Sales & RV — 20600 County Rd 42 W, Tilbury

Address: 20600 County Rd 42 W, Tilbury, ON N0P 2L0
Phone: 519-682-2407
Website: tilburyautosales.com/quietkat-e-bikes
Brands: QuietKat (electric hunting / off-road eBikes)
Hours: Mon-Fri 9 am-6 pm · Sat 10 am-4 pm
Focus: An auto, RV, and Yamaha powersports dealership that also carries QuietKat electric hunting and off-road eBikes — sales, service, and parts. If you want a trail or hunting-oriented machine rather than a commuter, this is the Tilbury option. Note that off-road QuietKat models can exceed the 500W PAB limit, so ask which configuration is road-legal in Ontario before buying. The QuietKat dealer relationship, location, phone, and hours are confirmed via Yelp and AutoTrader, but the specific models in stock were not individually confirmed — call ahead.

Shops we could NOT confirm as current eBike sellers Two more Chatham-Kent names came up but did not meet the bar for this list. Reynold Cycle (134 Inshes Ave, Chatham — a confirmed operating Trek/Cannondale bike shop) could not be confirmed to currently sell eBikes from any source, so it is flagged rather than counted. Chatham E-Bikes (281 Grand Ave E, Chatham) appears on a BBB profile, but its listed website redirects to a Sarnia storefront and its operating status at the Chatham address could not be confirmed via the shop's own site or a live Google Business listing. We also excluded a Pedego Chatham-Kent marketing page that has no local storefront and routes customers to a London, ON dealer, plus a Sarnia eBike shop that sits in Lambton County, outside Chatham-Kent. Confirm any of these directly before driving out.
Chatham-Kent Shop Takeaway For the widest multi-brand selection and Trek electric, start with Smith Cycle & More in Chatham (181 Thames St, 519-351-5588). For a dedicated eBike store with nine brands across new and used, GreenEbike.ca in Wallaceburg (confirm phone and hours first). For a hunting or off-road QuietKat, Tilbury Auto Sales & RV (519-682-2407) — and ask which models stay under the 500W PAB limit so they're road-legal in Ontario.

Ride CK Transit — No Published Bikes-on-Board Policy

Ride CK: bike policy not documented — call to confirm Chatham-Kent's public transit is Ride CK (CK Transit), a fixed-route service plus an OnRequest small-bus system. As of June 2026, no Ride CK bike-rack or bikes-on-board policy or weight limit could be found in any published service material — bikes and eBikes on buses simply are not documented. What Ride CK does publish is a mobility-device standard: devices not exceeding 76 cm (30 in) wide and 106 cm (42 in) long, with combined passenger plus device weight not exceeding 272 kg (600 lbs). There is no passenger rail integrated into Chatham-Kent transit for eBike carriage. Practically, plan to ride your eBike door-to-door, and call Ride CK directly if you need to confirm whether a bike can travel on a specific route.

Trail Access — 70+ km of Recreational Trails

Municipal trails and pathways — eBikes ride as bicycles Chatham-Kent's official Cycling page states the municipality maintains over 70 km of recreational trails and pathways on a variety of surfaces, and references the Waterfront Trail and Great Trail networks. The cycling and trails pages do not single out eBikes, so a compliant PAB eBike — pedals intact, 500W or less, 32 km/h cut-off — is treated as a bicycle and may use these multi-use pathways wherever bicycles are permitted. No eBike-specific prohibition on municipal multi-use paths was found. Sources: chatham-kent.ca Cycling page; ontariobybike.ca/chathamkent.
Parks, provincial parks, and conservation lands — check posted signage Chatham-Kent restricts motorized and off-road vehicle use in parks, on multi-use pathways, and on trails under municipal bylaws and provincial legislation. A compliant PAB eBike is treated as a bicycle, not a motor vehicle, so it is not captured by those motorized-vehicle prohibitions; a throttle-only, no-pedal off-road unit would be. (A previously cited park-fine dollar figure could not be verified against any published bylaw and has been removed.) Rondeau Provincial Park has three trails open to cyclists — Harrison Trail, Warbler's Way, and South Point Trail — and the Lower Thames Valley Conservation Authority (head office 100 Thames St, Chatham) manages 18 conservation areas in the region, many with nature trails. No published eBike or motorized-vehicle trail rule could be confirmed from LTVCA materials, so check posted signage at each conservation area and provincial park. Sources: ontariobybike.ca/chathamkent; ontarioparks.ca Rondeau; ck311.ca; ckpolice.com (April 21, 2026).
Trail Access Takeaway Across the municipality's 70+ km of recreational trails and multi-use pathways, a pedal-equipped PAB eBike is treated like any bicycle — no local eBike ban was found. The one thing to keep intact is your pedals: a no-pedal, throttle-only off-road machine is a motor vehicle and is what local park and trail restrictions are aimed at. On provincial-park and conservation-area trails, read the posted signs at each entrance.

Ontario eBike Laws — What Makes an eBike Legal in Chatham-Kent

Ontario — federal/provincial Power-Assisted Bicycle (PAB) framework
  • Motor: Maximum 500W
  • Speed cut-off: Motor assist stops at 32 km/h
  • Total weight: Maximum 120 kg (bike + battery)
  • Pedals: Working pedals required; 2-3 wheels, minimum wheel diameter 350 mm and width 35 mm, two independent braking systems
  • Age: Riders must be 16 or older
  • Helmet: An approved bicycle or motorcycle helmet is required — the Ontario eBike page states this with no age exemption, so helmets apply to ALL eBike riders
  • Licence / registration / insurance: Not required, as long as the eBike is unmodified with functioning pedals
Ontario governs eBikes under the PAB framework, not the US Class 1/2/3 system. Modifying the motor to exceed 500W or 32 km/h is illegal, and removing the pedals turns the eBike into a motor vehicle that requires a licence, insurance, and registration. EBikes may be ridden wherever conventional bicycles are allowed, except certain controlled-access provincial highways and anywhere prohibited by municipal bylaw. Chatham-Kent's Cycling page confirms that "under the Ontario Highway Traffic Act, bicycles are considered vehicles" and imposes no local eBike-specific rule beyond the provincial standard. Note: in April 2026 Ontario's Ministry of Transportation posted a consultation (proposal posted April 23, 2026; comment period to early June 2026) proposing two distinct PAB classes — a pedal-assist-only class with a proposed ~55 kg cap and a class allowing throttle at 120 kg — but this is a proposal, not law as of June 2026; the current rules remain 500W / 32 km/h / 120 kg.

Where to Ride Your eBike in Chatham-Kent

  • City roads and on-road bike lanes — permitted; a PAB eBike is a vehicle under the Ontario Highway Traffic Act, so ride with traffic, obey all traffic laws, use hand signals, and carry required equipment (bell, brakes, lights, reflective tape).
  • Municipal recreational trails and multi-use pathways — open to cycling across the 70+ km network, including Waterfront Trail and Great Trail segments; a compliant pedal-equipped eBike is treated as a bicycle. No eBike-specific prohibition was found.
  • Rondeau Provincial Park — three trails are open to cyclists (Harrison Trail, Warbler's Way, South Point Trail); ride only where cycling is posted.
  • Conservation areas (Lower Thames Valley CA, 18 areas) — many carry nature trails with their own rules; no municipal-wide eBike trail rule was confirmed, so check posted signage at each area.
  • City parks — motorized and off-road vehicle use is restricted, but a compliant PAB eBike with intact pedals is treated as a bicycle, not a motor vehicle; throttle-only no-pedal units fall under the motorized restriction. Local enforcement in 2026 targeted dirt bikes and off-road vehicles on the Wheatley/Arboretum trails — not eBikes (CKPS, April 21, 2026).
Riding in Chatham-Kent — Takeaway Roads and the 70+ km municipal trail network are your dependable routes — a pedal-equipped PAB eBike rides as a bicycle everywhere bicycles are allowed, with no local eBike bylaw to navigate. Keep your pedals on and your motor under 500W and you stay on the bicycle side of the line. On provincial-park and conservation trails, let the posted signs decide.

Frequently Asked Questions — Chatham-Kent, ON eBikes

How many eBike shops are in Chatham-Kent, ON?

Three verified storefronts as of June 2026, one in each of the municipality's larger communities: Smith Cycle & More (181 Thames St, Chatham, 519-351-5588 — Trek electric plus nine other brands), GreenEbike.ca / Wallaceburg E-bike (21 Arnold St, Wallaceburg — nine brands including EMMO and Daymak; phone and hours not published on its own site, confirm directly), and Tilbury Auto Sales & RV (20600 County Rd 42 W, Tilbury, 519-682-2407 — QuietKat electric hunting and off-road eBikes).

Where can I buy an eBike in Chatham specifically?

Smith Cycle & More at 181 Thames St, Chatham (519-351-5588) is the verified eBike seller within Chatham itself — an authorized Trek retailer carrying ten brands in total, with a full sales and repair department. Two other Chatham names, Reynold Cycle and Chatham E-Bikes, could not be confirmed as current eBike sellers and are flagged rather than counted in this directory.

Can I take my eBike on Ride CK transit?

As of June 2026, no Ride CK (CK Transit) bike-rack or bikes-on-board policy or weight limit could be found in any published service material, so a bike or eBike on the bus is not documented. Ride CK does publish a mobility-device standard (devices up to 76 cm wide, 106 cm long, with combined passenger and device weight up to 272 kg / 600 lbs). There is no integrated passenger rail. Call Ride CK directly to confirm any bike policy before you rely on it. Source: chatham-kent.ca Transit Accessibility page.

Are there eBike-specific bylaws in Chatham-Kent?

No. No Chatham-Kent municipal bylaw was found that sets an age, helmet, power, speed, or registration rule for eBikes that differs from Ontario's provincial PAB framework — local rules defer entirely to the province (500W / 32 km/h / 120 kg / age 16+ / helmet for all eBike riders / no licence, registration, or insurance). The municipality treats bicycles as Highway Traffic Act vehicles. Local 2026 trail enforcement targeted dirt bikes and off-road vehicles, not compliant pedal-equipped eBikes (CKPS, April 21, 2026).

What are Ontario's eBike laws?

Ontario regulates eBikes under the federal/provincial Power-Assisted Bicycle framework: maximum 500W motor, motor assist cutting off at 32 km/h, maximum total weight of 120 kg, working pedals, two independent brakes, and a minimum wheel diameter of 350 mm. Riders must be 16 or older and wear an approved bicycle or motorcycle helmet — the Ontario eBike page states this with no age exemption. No licence, registration, or insurance is required for a compliant, unmodified PAB. Removing the pedals or exceeding the power/speed limits makes it a motor vehicle. An April 2026 MTO consultation proposed a two-class structure, but that is a proposal, not law as of June 2026.

Can I ride my eBike on Chatham-Kent's trails?

Yes, on the municipal network. Chatham-Kent maintains over 70 km of recreational trails and pathways, and the cycling and trails pages do not single out eBikes, so a compliant pedal-equipped PAB eBike is treated as a bicycle wherever bikes are permitted. Provincial parks and conservation lands carry their own rules: Rondeau Provincial Park has three trails open to cyclists (Harrison Trail, Warbler's Way, South Point Trail), and the Lower Thames Valley Conservation Authority manages 18 conservation areas — check posted signage at each. Throttle-only, no-pedal off-road units are treated as motor vehicles and fall under park motorized-vehicle restrictions.
