Quick Answer Kawartha Lakes has 2 verified eBike storefronts as of June 2026, and both sit in downtown Lindsay — there is no dedicated e-bike shop verified open in Bobcaygeon or Fenelon Falls. The Bike Garage (66 William St N) is a Pedego and Aventon dealer with sales, service and test rides; Down To Earth Adventure Outfitters (22 Kent St W) is a downtown shop open since 1999 carrying Trek, Norco, Opus and Orbea that services e-bikes from the brands it sells plus any Shimano or Bosch mid-drive. Bobcaygeon's former Pedego Kawartha Lakes storefront reads as permanently closed across current listings. Ontario regulates e-bikes under the federal PAB framework (500W, 32 km/h, working pedals); you must be 16 or older and helmets are mandatory for every rider, all ages. For the rules in full, see our Ontario eBike laws guide, and to shop carefully read how to spot a legit eBike store.

How We Verified This Directory Each storefront was cross-referenced across the shop's own current website, its Pedego or Trek manufacturer dealer page, Google Maps, Yelp, YellowPages.ca and the Explore Kawartha Lakes business directory (June 2026), and listed only when at least two independent sources confirmed it sells or services e-bikes from a physical Kawartha Lakes address. Where sources disagreed, we resolved against the manufacturer's own dealer record: The Bike Garage's Lindsay address (66 William St N) and local phone are confirmed on Pedego Canada's dealer page, Yelp and YellowPages, even though the shop's e-commerce domain also lists BC pickup points; Down To Earth's address (22 Kent St W) and Trek-dealer status are confirmed on Trek's own store locator, with one minor postal-code variance (K9V 2Y1 vs K9V 2Y4) across directories. We deliberately did not pad the count: Bobcaygeon's Pedego Kawartha Lakes (47 William St) is reported permanently closed by current listings, so it is flagged rather than listed as open. Every rule is tied to a named primary source — ontario.ca's "Riding an e-bike," the City of Kawartha Lakes Victoria Rail Trail page and Trails By-Law 2007-107, and the Explore Kawartha Lakes trails pages. Where the City's text does not explicitly name e-bikes, we say so rather than assert a status. This directory is re-verified every six months.

Kawartha Lakes is one of Ontario's great cottage-country cycling regions — the 85 km Victoria Rail Trail threads Lindsay, Fenelon Falls and Kinmount, and summer visitors outnumber locals on the lakes. Yet the dedicated e-bike retail here is smaller than that suggests, and it has recently shrunk: the Pedego storefront that once anchored Bobcaygeon now reads as permanently closed, leaving two verified shops, both in downtown Lindsay. The harder question for a new owner is not where to buy — it's where you can legally ride, because the trails that make this region famous treat motors carefully. The Victoria Rail Trail allows bicycles but never names e-bikes, and the Kawartha Trans Canada Trail bans motorized vehicles (snowmobiles excepted). This directory lists every verified shop, flags the closure honestly, and walks through exactly what those trail rules mean before you ride.

The 2 Verified eBike Shops in Kawartha Lakes

The Bike Garage — 66 William Street North, Lindsay

Address: 66 William Street North, Lindsay, ON K9V 4A2
Phone: (705) 320-9006
Website: thebikegarage.ca
Brands: Pedego Electric Bikes (full line), Aventon; Urtopia available through the Pedego Canada network
Hours: Tue–Fri 10 am–5:30 pm · Sat 9 am–4:30 pm · Mon & Sun by appointment
Focus: Lindsay's dedicated electric-bike storefront and the region's recognised Pedego dealer — sales, an on-site service department with mechanics on duty Tuesday through Saturday, and a "try before you buy" test-ride program. The Pedego line spans city, step-thru, fat-tire, cargo and tandem models; Aventon adds commuter and all-road options. Note that the shop's e-commerce domain also references BC pickup points; the verified walk-in storefront is the Lindsay address above, confirmed on Pedego Canada's dealer page, Yelp and YellowPages.

Down To Earth Adventure Outfitters — 22 Kent Street West, Lindsay

Address: 22 Kent Street West, Lindsay, ON K9V 2Y4 (one Trek listing shows K9V 2Y1 — confirm by phone)
Phone: (705) 328-0230
Website: downtoearthlindsay.com
Brands: Trek, Norco, Opus, Orbea (plus a broad pedal-bike range from BMX to road)
Hours: Tue–Thu 9:30 am–5:30 pm · Fri 9:30 am–7 pm · Sat 9:30 am–5 pm · Sun & Mon closed
Focus: A full-service bicycle and outdoor shop open in downtown Lindsay since 1999, with a qualified mechanic handling everything from small repairs to major overhauls. Important caveat for e-bike owners: Down To Earth services e-bikes only from the brands it sells (Trek, Norco, Opus, Orbea) or e-bikes using the Shimano or Bosch mid-drive systems — so a generic hub-motor e-bike bought elsewhere may not be serviceable here. The shop also rents bikes by the day, weekend or week. Call before bringing in an e-bike for repair.

Service compatibility — ask before you buy or repair Neither Lindsay shop services every e-bike on the market. The Bike Garage centres on Pedego and Aventon (and services most makes through its shop), while Down To Earth restricts e-bike repairs to brands it sells plus Shimano/Bosch mid-drives. If you own a budget hub-motor e-bike from an online seller, phone ahead and confirm the shop can get parts and service it — a mismatch here is the single most common after-sale frustration in a small market.

Kawartha Lakes Shop Takeaway Both verified shops are in downtown Lindsay. For a dedicated electric-bike room with Pedego, Aventon and a "try before you buy" program, start with The Bike Garage (66 William St N). For a long-established full-service shop with rentals and brand-name pedal and mid-drive e-bikes, Down To Earth (22 Kent St W) — but confirm it can service your specific motor first. There is no verified open e-bike storefront in Bobcaygeon or Fenelon Falls.

Bobcaygeon & Fenelon Falls — What Happened to the Local Shops

Bobcaygeon — Pedego storefront reads as permanently closed Pedego Electric Bikes Kawartha Lakes operated a storefront at 47 William Street, Bobcaygeon, ON K0M 1A0, complete with hourly e-bike rentals and summer tours along the rail trail. As of June 2026, multiple current business listings (Yelp, Cylex, find-open.ca) show the location as permanently closed, and Pedego Canada now routes Kawartha Lakes buyers to The Bike Garage in Lindsay. We have not been able to confirm an active, open Pedego storefront in Bobcaygeon, so we do not list it among the verified shops — but call Pedego Canada directly if you specifically want Pedego service near the lakes. Source: Yelp, Cylex, find-open.ca; Pedego Canada dealer directory.

Fenelon Falls — no dedicated e-bike storefront verified Fenelon Falls is a rest stop on the Victoria Rail Trail and a popular ride destination, but no dedicated electric-bike storefront was verified there as of June 2026. The nearest verified e-bike shops are in Lindsay, roughly 25 minutes south. Some online dealer directories list the Fenelon Falls area for brands such as EMMO, but we could not confirm a current open physical storefront from a primary source, so we flag it as unverified rather than list it.

Lakes-Towns Takeaway If you live in or cottage near Bobcaygeon or Fenelon Falls, plan on Lindsay for in-person e-bike sales and service today — the Bobcaygeon Pedego appears closed and Fenelon Falls has no verified storefront. For a model not stocked locally, a Canadian online retailer that ships to your door and supports the bike afterward is often the more reliable option in a small market.

Trail Access — Bikes Welcome, eBikes Not Explicitly Named

Victoria Rail Trail (85 km) The City of Kawartha Lakes welcomes bicycles on the Victoria Rail Trail, which links Kinmount to Bethany through Fenelon Falls and Lindsay. The City's rules state that no motorized vehicles are allowed "except as provided by City By-Law 2007-107," set a speed limit of 20 km/h in urban areas (Bethany, Lindsay, Fenelon Falls, Burnt River, Kinmount) and 50 km/h elsewhere, and limit all use to between 7 am and 9:30 pm. Crucially, the City's published text does not explicitly name e-bikes or power-assisted bicycles. Under Ontario's framework a compliant 500W pedal-assist e-bike is generally treated as a bicycle, so most riders use the trail without issue — but because the City does not say so directly, confirm posted signage and call 705-324-9411 if you want certainty. Source: kawarthalakes.ca (Victoria Rail Trail).

Kawartha Trans Canada Trail — motorized vehicles banned The Kawartha Trans Canada Trail permits hiking, cycling, horseback riding, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling, but states that "with the exception of snowmobiles, all motorized vehicles including ATVs and dirt bikes are not permitted on the trail." E-bikes are not separately named in that rule, so a compliant pedal-assist e-bike's status is not explicitly defined — ride conservatively, keep to pedal assist, follow signage, and confirm with the City before depending on it. The Scugog River Trail is posted as non-motorized. Source: explorekawarthalakes.com (Trails).

Sidewalks — provincial ban applies Ontario's Highway Traffic Act prohibits operating a power-assisted bicycle on sidewalks, and that provincial rule applies in Lindsay, Bobcaygeon and Fenelon Falls. No separate Kawartha Lakes sidewalk wheel-size or e-bike bylaw was found that changes the provincial standard, but the exact wording of Trails By-Law 2007-107 could not be independently confirmed because the City's posted PDF is a scanned image — so we present the trail rules as published by the City and the sidewalk rule as provincial. Source: ontario.ca "Riding an e-bike."

Trail Access Takeaway The Victoria Rail Trail is your reliable local network — bicycles are welcome, e-bikes aren't explicitly named, and a compliant pedal-assist bike is generally treated as a bicycle, with signage and the 20 km/h urban speed limit as the final word. Keep e-bikes off sidewalks (provincial ban), ride conservatively on the Trans Canada Trail (motorized vehicles banned), and confirm with the City (705-324-9411) if you need certainty for a specific trail.

Ontario eBike Laws — What Makes an eBike Legal in Kawartha Lakes

Ontario — federal Power-Assisted Bicycle (PAB) framework

Motor: Maximum 500W
Speed cut-off: Motor assist stops at 32 km/h
Pedals: Fully operable pedals required (removing them makes it a motor vehicle)
Total weight: Maximum 120 kg (bike plus battery)
Minimum age: Rider must be 16 or older
Helmet: Approved bicycle or motorcycle helmet mandatory for ALL ages
Licence / registration / insurance: Not required for a compliant PAB
Sidewalks: Prohibited province-wide

E-bikes are allowed on most roads and in bike lanes where conventional bicycles are permitted, but they are prohibited on 400-series controlled-access highways and wherever a municipal bylaw bans them. It is also illegal to modify an e-bike's motor to make it more powerful or faster. No Kawartha Lakes municipal age, helmet, power or registration rule was found that differs from Ontario's PAB baseline; the City's distinct rules are about trail use, not the bike itself. Sources: ontario.ca "Riding an e-bike"; City of Kawartha Lakes trail pages. For the full provincial picture, see our Ontario eBike laws guide, the eBike laws Canada overview, and our advice on financing an eBike in Canada.

Where to Ride Your eBike in Kawartha Lakes

City streets and bike lanes — permitted; ride with traffic, signal turns, and follow the same rules of the road as other cyclists under Ontario's framework.
Victoria Rail Trail (85 km) — bicycles welcome; e-bikes not explicitly named, so a compliant pedal-assist bike is generally treated as a bicycle. Obey the 20 km/h urban / 50 km/h rural speed limits and the 7 am–9:30 pm hours, and follow posted signage.
Sidewalks — off-limits; Ontario prohibits riding a power-assisted bicycle on sidewalks regardless of municipality.
Kawartha Trans Canada Trail — motorized vehicles banned (snowmobiles excepted); e-bikes not separately named, so keep to pedal assist, follow signage, and confirm with the City if unsure.
Conservation and city parks — the City publishes no e-bike-specific park rule; confirm trail-use specifics with the City of Kawartha Lakes at 705-324-9411 before riding park trails.

Riding in Kawartha Lakes — Takeaway Streets, bike lanes and the Victoria Rail Trail are your dependable network — e-bikes ride there as bicycles in practice, with signage and the 20 km/h urban limit as the final word. Stay off sidewalks, ride conservatively on the Trans Canada Trail, and when a trail's e-bike status isn't posted, treat the City's 705-324-9411 line as the authoritative answer rather than guessing.

Frequently Asked Questions — Kawartha Lakes, ON eBikes

How many eBike shops are in Kawartha Lakes, ON?

Two verified storefronts as of June 2026, both in downtown Lindsay: The Bike Garage (66 William St N, (705) 320-9006 — a Pedego and Aventon dealer with sales, service and test rides), and Down To Earth Adventure Outfitters (22 Kent St W, (705) 328-0230 — Trek, Norco, Opus and Orbea, which services e-bikes from the brands it sells plus any Shimano or Bosch mid-drive system). Bobcaygeon's former Pedego Kawartha Lakes storefront (47 William St) reads as permanently closed across recent listings, and no dedicated e-bike shop was verified open in Fenelon Falls. Call ahead to confirm current stock and hours.

Is there an eBike shop in Bobcaygeon or Fenelon Falls?

Not a verified open one. Pedego Electric Bikes Kawartha Lakes operated a storefront at 47 William Street in Bobcaygeon, but multiple current business listings show it as permanently closed, and Pedego Canada now routes Kawartha Lakes buyers to The Bike Garage in Lindsay. No dedicated electric-bike storefront was verified in Fenelon Falls. Both communities sit on the Victoria Rail Trail, with Lindsay (about 25 minutes from each) holding the area's two verified e-bike shops.

Can I ride my eBike on the Victoria Rail Trail?

Bicycles are permitted on the 85 km Victoria Rail Trail, and the City of Kawartha Lakes does not explicitly address e-bikes or power-assisted bicycles in its published trail rules. The trail bans motorized vehicles "except as provided by City By-Law 2007-107," enforces a 20 km/h speed limit in urban areas (Lindsay, Fenelon Falls, Bethany, Burnt River, Kinmount) and 50 km/h elsewhere, and is open 7 am to 9:30 pm. Because the City's text does not name e-bikes, treat a compliant pedal-assist e-bike as a bicycle but confirm posted signage and call the City at 705-324-9411 before relying on it.

What are Ontario's eBike laws?

Ontario regulates e-bikes under the federal Power-Assisted Bicycle framework: an electric motor not exceeding 500W, motor assist cutting off at 32 km/h, and fully operable pedals, with a maximum total weight of 120 kg. The rider must be 16 or older, and an approved bicycle or motorcycle helmet is mandatory for all ages. No licence, registration or insurance is required for a compliant PAB. E-bikes may use most roads and bike lanes where conventional bicycles are allowed, but not 400-series highways, not sidewalks, and not anywhere a municipal bylaw bans them.

Can I ride an eBike on the Kawartha Trans Canada Trail?

The Kawartha Trans Canada Trail permits hiking, cycling, horseback riding, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling, but states that "with the exception of snowmobiles, all motorized vehicles including ATVs and dirt bikes are not permitted on the trail." The City does not separately name e-bikes in that rule, so a compliant pedal-assist e-bike's status is not explicitly defined; ride conservatively, follow signage, and confirm with the City (705-324-9411) before depending on it. The Scugog River Trail is posted as non-motorized. Source: explorekawarthalakes.com.

Do I need a helmet to ride an eBike in Kawartha Lakes?

Yes. Under Ontario's Power-Assisted Bicycle rules, every e-bike rider must wear an approved bicycle or motorcycle helmet, regardless of age — the requirement applies to all ages, not just minors. There is no helmet exemption for adult e-bike riders in Ontario, and no separate Kawartha Lakes bylaw was found that changes the provincial standard. Source: ontario.ca "Riding an e-bike."
