Rad Power filed for bankruptcy in December 2025 — Canada's last major chain e-bike outlet closed, and the company's warranty program with it. Montréal has 1,083 km of bike paths (Ville de Montréal), REV express lanes, and a BIXI electric fleet. Thousands of riders here built serious daily commutes around a single brand, and that brand is now gone. What replaces it is this: 14 independently verified storefronts in the City of Montréal, each confirmed in June 2026 for address, hours, the brands on the floor, and the services they offer.

One thing to confirm before you visit any of them: Québec's e-bike rules are stricter than most Canadians expect. Throttle-only bikes are banned province-wide. Helmets are mandatory for all ages. The STM barred e-bikes from the métro in December 2024. A good local shop will walk you through compliance before you buy — but it helps to know the rules yourself. The Montréal e-bike rules guide and the Québec eBike laws guide cover the full picture. This directory covers the shops.

How We Verified Every Listing

This directory is published and maintained by Zeus eBikes, a Canadian online e-bike retailer, as part of the Canadian eBike Brands & Shops directory — an independently researched reference for Canadian riders. Zeus has no commercial relationship with any shop listed here. Each shop was confirmed against its own website and current business listings in June 2026 — address, phone, posted hours, and the e-bike brands on its floor. We included only physical storefronts that sell e-bikes; pure repair shops, rental-tour operators, and online-only sellers were excluded. Any shop whose e-bike sales could not be confirmed from a current source was held back rather than guessed. This page covers the City of Montréal (post-2002 amalgamation); Téo Vélo in Montréal-Est (a demerged municipality) is listed under Greater Montréal. Shop data changes — call ahead to confirm hours, which shift seasonally. Found an error or closure? milad@zeusebikes.ca.

Quick Answer

There are 14 verified electric bike shops in the City of Montréal, plus Téo Vélo just east in Montréal-Est. Shops cluster in Griffintown and Plateau-Mont-Royal, with further locations in Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, Côte-des-Neiges, Saint-Henri, Rosemont, and Verdun. For the widest brand selection, start with E2-Sport (Cube, Amflow, Moustache — premium European brands, largest e-bike inventory in Québec) and EZbike Montréal (Aventon, Velotric, Himiway — value imports roughly $1,000–$2,000 CAD). For a single brand: Giant Montréal, Trek Griffintown, Trek Plateau, and Davélo (Specialized) each go deep on one badge. For a used e-bike: Vélo Urbain and Vélo iBike carry used inventory. Most shops are closed Sunday — call ahead. Before you buy, confirm your bike is legal under Québec's e-bike rules — throttle-only bikes are banned province-wide — and check whether a Montréal-specific restriction affects where you plan to ride.


Where to Buy an eBike in Montréal

Rad Power filed Chapter 11 in December 2025 — the same month the STM barred e-bikes from the métro citing battery fire concerns from the same family of uncertified lithium packs that triggered a CPSC warning on five of its best-selling models — and with it, Canada's largest chain e-bike warranty program collapsed entirely. Walk into the wrong replacement shop and you could leave with a throttle-equipped bike that is illegal in Québec under Article 492.2 of the Highway Safety Code, a warranty that applies only if you ship the bike to another province, and no local mechanic in the city who has ever opened the electrical system you are now responsible for. This directory maps every verified storefront in the City of Montréal — what they carry, what they service, and which ones will raise the Québec compliance question before you hand over your money.

The local lineup divides into three useful groups. Pure e-bike specialists — E2-Sport, EZbike Montréal, EZWheel Canada, Ride Bike Style, Téo Vélo — stock only electric, which means their staff deals with nothing but electric systems all day. Full-service bike shops with strong e-bike walls — Allo Vélo, Vélo Urbain, Vélo iBike, Bicycles Quilicot, Bicycles Eddy, Davélo — pair electric inventory with deep mechanical experience and, in most cases, multi-brand service. Brand concept stores — Trek (two locations), Giant — go deep on a single badge with factory-backed service and return policies. If you are buying your first e-bike and want to compare options, start with a specialist. If you have already chosen a brand and want the strongest service backing, the concept stores offer it in writing.

The Takeaway

Montréal's e-bike market is specialist-driven, not big-box. That means narrower but deeper inventories at most shops, and mechanics who know e-bikes specifically — worth more than a department store's selection when you need a warranty fix or a battery diagnostic in February.

Québec & Montréal E-Bike Rules (2026) — What Every Buyer Must Know

Québec's rules are stricter than the federal PAB framework and stricter than most other provinces. If you buy a bike here — or bring one from another province — these rules apply the moment you leave the shop.

The Rule Most Riders Get Wrong

Québec bans throttle-only operation. Under Article 492.2 of the Highway Safety Code (SAAQ), the motor may only activate while you are actively pedalling. A throttle-equipped bike that lets you ride without pedalling is illegal on Québec roads and bike paths — even if it is sold as a valid product elsewhere in Canada. If you are buying for Québec, confirm the bike is pedal-assist only, or that its throttle can be disabled. Source: SAAQ (saaq.gouv.qc.ca — Electric Bike guidance page).

The rules that apply in Montréal in 2026 (sourced to SAAQ, SPVM, and Ville de Montréal):

  • Motor power: maximum 500W nominal — the nameplate rating on the manufacturer label, not a software-limited figure. A 750W motor electronically limited to 32 km/h is still a 750W motor and is not legal in Québec. (Source: Article 492.2, Highway Safety Code)
  • Speed cut-off: motor assistance must stop at 32 km/h. Riders may pedal faster under their own power. (Source: Article 492.2)
  • Throttle: banned. Pedal-assist only — you must be pedalling for the motor to engage. This is stricter than federal PAB rules, which permit throttles. (Source: Article 492.2; SAAQ)
  • Helmet: mandatory for all ages — no exemption for adults. Québec is one of the few provinces where adult riders are also required to wear a helmet. Accepted standards include CAN/CSA-D113.2, ASTM F1447, and EN 1078. Fine for non-compliance: $60–$100. (Source: Protective Helmets Regulation, Article 2.1)
  • Age: riders 18+ need no licence. Riders aged 14–17 must hold a Québec Class 6D licence (the moped class). Riders under 14 are prohibited on public roads. (Source: Article 492.2)
  • Registration and plates: not required. E-bikes cannot be registered and do not need licence plates. (Source: SAAQ)
  • Moveable step (marche-pied): bikes with a scooter-style footrest instead of pedals are banned from all bike paths and REV lanes. They may only use roadways. SPVM issued 1,301 cycling contraventions across all infraction types in the first half of 2024, reflecting active enforcement across multiple cycling rules. (Source: SPVM)
  • Montréal park paths: a 20 km/h speed limit applies on all park paths, including Parc du Mont-Royal. (Source: Ville de Montréal cycling policy)
  • STM métro and buses: all e-bikes banned since December 2024, citing lithium battery fire safety concerns. (Source: STM)
  • REM (Réseau express métropolitain): e-bikes allowed during off-peak hours only — not on weekdays between 7:00–9:30 AM or 3:30–6:00 PM. (Source: REM)
  • Insurance: SAAQ's public auto insurance does not cover e-bike injuries unless a registered motor vehicle is also involved. (Source: SAAQ)

For the full Montréal-specific picture — including REV lane access, seasonal BIXI electric-bike availability, and park-by-park rules — see our Montréal e-bike rules guide. For the provincial framework: Québec eBike Laws 2026.

The Takeaway

Before buying any e-bike for use in Québec, confirm three things: the motor is rated 500W or under on the manufacturer label; the bike is pedal-assist only (no throttle-only mode); and the buyer is 18+ or holds a Class 6D licence if 14–17. A bike that passes in Ontario may not pass in Québec.

The Shops — City of Montréal

E2-Sport

1950 Rue Notre-Dame Ouest, Montréal, QC H3J 1M8 · (514) 934-1010 · e2-sport.ca
Hours: Tue–Fri 10:00am–6:00pm (Thu–Fri until 8:00pm by appointment), Sat 10:00am–5:00pm · Closed Sun–Mon
eBike brands: Cube, Amflow, Moustache · Services: Sales, mechanical workshop, e-bike service & repair, home delivery, consultations

The most e-bike-focused independent in Griffintown — a 100% electric shop carrying 50+ models across hybrid, mountain, cargo, gravel, and fat-bike categories. Come here first if you want European-brand quality — Cube mid-drives, Moustache cargo, Amflow e-mountain — from a shop that can explain the difference between a Bosch Performance Line CX and a Bafang hub before you spend $3,000–$8,000.

EZbike Montréal

4065 Rue Saint-Denis, Montréal, QC H2W 2M7 · (514) 900-3723 · montreal@ezbike.ca · ezbike.ca
Hours: Call to confirm — hours not posted on website
eBike brands: Aventon, Heybike, Velotric, NCM, Himiway · Services: Sales, service, repairs, warranty support, product demonstrations

A multi-brand e-bike and e-scooter dealer on the Plateau. The brand mix skews toward value-priced North American and Asian imports — come here if you are comparing options in the $1,000–$2,200 range and want hands-on demos before deciding, or walk two blocks to E2-Sport if you want to feel the difference a Bosch motor makes at twice the price.

EZWheel Canada

5219 Boulevard Décarie, Montréal, QC H3W 3C2 · (438) 558-2688 · ezwheel.ca
Hours: Mon–Sat 11:00am–5:00pm · Closed Sun
eBike brands: Heybike, Aventon, Gazelle, Segway and a broad electric-mobility lineup · Services: Sales, test rides, in-store demonstrations, e-bike and e-scooter repair service, expert consultations

A 100% Canadian-owned electric mobility specialist in Côte-des-Neiges, carrying e-bikes alongside e-scooters and personal electric vehicles. Come here if you inherited a Rad Power bike and need battery diagnostics or motor work from a shop that will service brands it never sold — explicitly confirmed, and uncommon enough in Montréal that it is worth noting before you drive across the city to a shop that turns you away.

Allo Vélo (VeloLifestyle)

141 Rue du Shannon, Montréal, QC H3C 2J4 · (514) 937-8356 · velolifestyle.com
Hours: Tue–Fri 10:00am–6:00pm, Sat–Sun 10:00am–5:00pm
eBike brands: Gazelle cargo e-bikes · Services: Sales, electric cargo bike rentals (seating up to 4 children), service, café

The only place in Montréal to rent an electric cargo bike — the shop pairs sales with a rental fleet and a café, making it as much a neighbourhood institution as a retailer. Come here if you carry children, groceries, or equipment and want to rent a Gazelle electric cargo bike for a week before you commit to owning one; Allo Vélo is the only place in the City of Montréal where that is possible.

Giant Montréal

5252 Rue Sherbrooke Ouest, Montréal, QC H4A 1T9 · (514) 439-1168 · shopgiantmontreal.ca
Hours: Tue–Fri 10:00am–6:00pm, Sat 10:00am–5:00pm · Closed Sun–Mon
eBike brands: Giant, Liv, Momentum · Services: Sales, certified e-bike service & repair, professional bike fitting, mechanical workshops, online appointments

A Giant Certified Boutique of Excellence since 2012 in NDG, carrying the full electric road, city, mountain, and adventure range alongside the women's Liv line and Momentum urban e-bikes. The certified service bench and professional bike fitting are the reasons to come here. Come here if you have narrowed your choice to Giant, Liv, or Momentum and want a certified technician who has been on the same brand system for over a decade — the kind of relationship that still picks up the phone in February when a connector fails at −15°C.

Trek Bicycle Montréal – Griffintown

291 Rue de la Montagne, Montréal, QC H3C 4K4 · (438) 265-0875 · trekbikes.com
Hours: Call to confirm — hours vary seasonally
eBike brands: Trek (full electric range) · Services: Sales, 24-hour service & repairs (all bike brands), price matching, 30-day return/exchange

Trek's Griffintown flagship, near the Lachine Canal. Two facts worth noting for a buyer who has been burned before: Trek services all bike brands (not just Trek), and the 30-day return/exchange policy is in writing. Come here if you want the strongest service backstop in Montréal — 24-hour turnaround on any brand, a return policy that is contractual rather than discretionary, and a corporate infrastructure substantial enough that it will still be honouring warranties five years from now.

Trek Bicycle Montréal – Plateau-Mont-Royal

4210 Rue Saint-Denis, Montréal, QC H2J 2K8 · (438) 260-0873 · trekbikes.com
Hours: Call to confirm — hours vary seasonally
eBike brands: Trek (full electric range) · Services: Sales, service & repair

Trek's second Montréal location, on Saint-Denis in the heart of the Plateau. Come here if you live in the Plateau, Mile End, or Rosemont and want Trek's full electric lineup without the trip to Griffintown — same brand depth, closer to your front door.

Ride Bike Style

2463 Avenue Mont-Royal Est, Montréal, QC H2H 1L4 · (833) 388-2224 · ridebikestyle.com
Hours: Mon–Sat 10:00am–5:00pm (call to book appointment) · Closed Sun
eBike brands: Ride Bike Style (house brand), Michael Blast · Services: Sales, maintenance & repairs (first service recommended after ~100 km), test rides, 2-year warranty on electrical components

A vintage-style e-bike boutique on the Plateau's Mont-Royal strip, focused on bikes that look like classic city cycles but run on a motor. The house brand includes a 2-year warranty on electrical components, and the shop's focused inventory — fewer models, deeper knowledge — means the person helping you knows every bike on the floor. Come here if aesthetics are half the decision and you want a city e-bike that looks like a 1960s Dutch bicycle rather than a fitness product; the Michael Blast line adds a moto-inspired alternative. Test rides by appointment.

Davélo

930 Rue de Courcelle, Montréal, QC H4C 3C8 · (514) 937-8888 · davelo.ca
Hours: Mon–Fri 10:00am–6:00pm, Sat 10:00am–5:00pm · Closed Sun
eBike brands: Specialized · Services: Sales, certified e-bike service & repair, professional bike fitting, rentals

A Specialized dealer in Saint-Henri, established in 2012, carrying Specialized's full electric range with certified technicians. Come here if you have chosen a Specialized model and want certified fitting plus warranty work from a team that has been on the brand since 2012 — they know Specialized's electrical systems the way a Bosch-authorised dealer knows Bosch.

Vélo Urbain

4445 Avenue Papineau, Montréal, QC H2H 1T7 · (514) 750-1550 · velo-urbain.ca
Hours: Mon–Fri 10:00am–6:00pm, Sat–Sun 11:00am–5:00pm
eBike brands: Multi-brand commuter and e-bikes · Services: Sales (new & used), repairs, tune-ups, accessories, rentals

A Plateau commuter specialist operating since 2009, stocking urban and e-bikes alongside a used-bike section and a rental fleet. Come here if you want to start on a used e-bike before committing to new — the used inventory is a genuine point of difference in a market where every specialist sells new-only — or if you need weekend rentals for visitors before they decide to buy.

Vélo iBike Montréal

2127 Rue Rachel Est, Montréal, QC H2H 1P9 · (438) 380-5811 · veloibike.ca
Hours: Mon–Fri 10:00am–7:00pm, Sat 10:00am–5:00pm · Closed Sun
eBike brands: Multi-brand urban and e-bikes · Services: Sales (new & used), repairs, maintenance, accessories, e-bike-specific service

A fixed-gear and urban bike specialist on Rachel Est with a broad e-bike inventory and extended weekday hours. Come here if you work weekdays and need a shop open until 7:00 PM — the Monday–Friday evening hours are the most practical in the Plateau for riders who cannot take a Saturday morning off — or if you want new and used inventory side by side before deciding which makes sense for your budget.

Bicycles Quilicot – Rosemont

3200 Rue Masson, Montréal, QC H1Y 1Y3 · (514) 842-1121 · bicyclesquilicot.com
Hours: Call to confirm — hours vary seasonally
eBike brands: EBGO and multi-brand (confirmed e-bike demonstrations) · Services: Sales, accessories, test rides, repairs

A full-service neighbourhood bike shop on Masson in Rosemont, carrying road, hybrid, mountain, and e-bikes with in-store test-ride demos. Come here if you live in Rosemont or Petite-Patrie and want a full-service shop within the neighbourhood — call ahead to confirm the current e-bike floor selection, which changes seasonally.

Bicycles Eddy

6341 Boulevard Monk, Montréal, QC H4E 3H8 · (514) 767-0559 · bicycleseddy.com
Hours: Call to confirm — hours not posted on website
eBike brands: Cannondale, Norco (e-bike range) · Services: Sales (road, mountain, e-bikes), repairs, maintenance

A full-service Verdun shop carrying Cannondale and Norco e-bikes alongside a conventional bike lineup. Come here if you are in Verdun, LaSalle, or Côte-Saint-Paul — Bicycles Eddy is the only full-service shop in the south-west boroughs with a genuine e-bike lineup, and the only one carrying both Cannondale and Norco's electric ranges.

The Takeaway

For the widest eBike selection in Montréal, start at E2-Sport or EZbike. For service on a bike from another brand — including a Rad Power bike — EZWheel Canada and Trek Griffintown are the two confirmed multi-brand service shops. For a cargo bike or a test ride before you commit, Allo Vélo. For a Québec-made option with local warranty support, Téo Vélo in Montréal-Est. For commuter inventory or used stock, Vélo Urbain or Vélo iBike. The right shop is the one whose mechanics know the rules that will apply to your bike the moment you leave the parking lot.

Greater Montréal (Nearby)

One manufacturer-retailer just east of the city limits is close enough that most Plateau and east-end riders treat it as local. Shops in Laval, Longueuil, and the South Shore will appear on those cities' own pages as the directory expands.

Téo Vélo

1225 Boulevard Saint-Jean-Baptiste, Montréal-Est, QC H1B 4A2 · (514) 642-8506 · teovelo.com
Hours: Call to confirm — hours not posted on website
eBike brands: Téo Vélo (Québec-designed and assembled) · Services: Sales, repairs, workshop, rental programme, financing, warranty

A Québec-based e-bike designer and manufacturer selling direct from its east-end facility, with folding, city, fat-tire, and cargo models in its own line. Come here if buying Québec-designed and assembled matters — or if you simply want warranty work that results in a local technician at a facility you can drive to, not a return-shipping form and a four-week wait. Ten years in production, a full rental programme, and on-site financing make it the most complete local-brand option in greater Montréal.

The Takeaway

Téo Vélo is the only Québec-designed and assembled e-bike brand in greater Montréal with a physical service facility. If buying Québec-made and having a local manufacturer you can drive to for warranty work matters, this is the only option in this directory.

Buying Local vs Online in Montréal

The case for buying in a Montréal shop is stronger than in most cities. Québec's throttle ban means you need to be certain a bike is pedal-assist compliant before you ride it — a local shop will know which models pass and which don't, and can configure the bike correctly before you leave. An online retailer outside Québec may not. The SAAQ manufacturer-label requirement — the bike must carry a removable label certifying PAB compliance — is also something a local shop should verify at point of sale.

Beyond legal compliance: Québec winters are real. A local mechanic who knows the Bosch or Shimano system your bike runs, available in February when a connector fails and the temperature is −20°C, is worth more than the margin you saved buying online. The shops in this directory exist year-round. EZWheel Canada and Trek Griffintown both explicitly confirm service on brands they didn't sell — the critical factor if you are holding a Rad Power bike or any other orphaned brand.

Battery safety is also worth thinking through before you buy. The STM ban that Montréal riders are navigating — triggered by lithium fire incidents in the same uncertified battery class that powered many discontinued brands — applies whether you bought in a shop or clicked online. A local shop can confirm whether the battery in your shortlisted bike carries a real UL 2849 or EN 15194 certification, not just a sticker. Our eBike battery guide for Canada covers what those certifications actually mean, how to identify a legitimate mark on the battery casing, and how to charge safely at home — the three questions every Montréal buyer should be able to answer before they commit.

There is also the Québec Roulez vert rebate program to factor in. The program has historically provided incentives on eligible e-bikes at point of sale through participating vendors — meaning the rebate can apply directly to your purchase price at a qualifying local shop, rather than as a post-purchase reimbursement. An online retailer outside Québec may not be a participating vendor. Confirm the current program status with the Ministère de l'Environnement, de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques, de la Faune et des Parcs (MELCCFP) or ask the shop directly before you pay. Our Canadian eBike rebates guide covers all active provincial programs.

When it makes sense to buy online: you have ridden the exact model, you know it passes Québec's rules, and you are a confident home mechanic. The price gap between a Montréal shop and a Canadian online retailer is real — plan for it. Whether that premium is worth paying depends on how seriously you will ride the bike. For a daily commuter in a Québec winter, it usually is. For occasional weekend rides on an entry-level bike, it may not be.

For more on the legal side of buying in Québec — including what the SAAQ checks if your bike is stopped — see our Québec eBike Laws 2026 guide and the complete Canadian eBike guide.

The Takeaway

For a first e-bike in Québec: buy where you can confirm the bike is pedal-assist compliant, test the assist feel, and get local service. Confirm the motor nameplate reads 500W or under, that no throttle-only mode exists, and that the manufacturer's compliance label is present. Then check whether a Québec rebate applies before you pay full price.


Frequently Asked Questions

How many electric bike shops are in Montréal, QC?

There are 14 verified e-bike storefronts in the City of Montréal (several with two locations), plus Téo Vélo just east in Montréal-Est. This directory lists each one with its address, phone, hours, the e-bike brands it carries, and its services — all verified in June 2026.

Which Montréal shop sells which e-bike brand?

Cube, Amflow, Moustache: E2-Sport. Aventon, Velotric, Heybike, NCM, Himiway: EZbike Montréal. Heybike, Aventon, Gazelle, Segway: EZWheel Canada. Gazelle cargo e-bikes (rental fleet): Allo Vélo.

Can I test ride an electric bike in Montréal?

Yes — most storefronts offer test rides or in-store demonstrations. E2-Sport, EZWheel Canada, Davélo, Ride Bike Style (by appointment), and Téo Vélo all confirm test rides. Call ahead to book, especially on weekends when demand is highest.

Are e-bikes legal in Montréal and Québec?

Yes, with rules stricter than most provinces. Under Québec's Highway Safety Code (Article 492.2 — source: SAAQ (saaq.gouv.qc.ca)), a legal e-bike is limited to a 500W motor and 32 km/h of assistance. Québec bans throttle-only operation — you must be pedalling for the motor to activate. Helmets are mandatory for all ages. Riders 14–17 need a Class 6D licence. On Montréal park paths the speed limit is 20 km/h. See our Montréal e-bike rules guide for the full breakdown.

Do I need a licence or insurance for an e-bike in Québec?

No licence for riders 18 and over. Riders 14–17 must hold a Québec Class 6D licence. No registration, no plates required. SAAQ's public auto insurance does not cover e-bike injuries unless a registered motor vehicle is also involved. (Source: SAAQ)

Can I bring my e-bike on the STM métro or bus in Montréal?

No. The STM banned all e-bikes from its métro and bus network as of December 2024, citing lithium battery fire safety concerns. The REM allows e-bikes during off-peak hours only — not weekdays between 7:00–9:30 AM or 3:30–6:00 PM. (Sources: STM; REM)

Which Montréal e-bike shops repair bikes they didn't sell?

Two shops explicitly confirm multi-brand service: EZWheel Canada (5219 Boulevard Décarie) performs battery diagnostics and motor work on a broad range of brands; Trek Bicycle Montréal – Griffintown (291 Rue de la Montagne) offers 24-hour turnaround on any bike brand. Other full-service shops — Davélo, Giant Montréal, Bicycles Eddy — handle repairs primarily on bikes in their own brand portfolios. Call ahead to confirm service availability on your specific model before visiting.

Which Montréal shops sell used electric bikes?

Vélo Urbain (4445 Avenue Papineau) and Vélo iBike Montréal (2127 Rue Rachel Est) both carry new and used inventory. Used stock changes frequently — call ahead before visiting. Both shops are in Plateau-Mont-Royal.

Is there a Québec government rebate for buying an e-bike?

Québec's Roulez vert program has historically offered rebates on eligible e-bikes. Program availability, eligibility rules, and rebate amounts change year to year — confirm the current status with the Ministère de l'Environnement, de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques, de la Faune et des Parcs (MELCCFP), or ask your local shop at point of sale. Our Canadian eBike rebates guide covers all active provincial programs and eligibility criteria.


The Bottom Line

Montréal's e-bike retail scene is more specialist-driven than it looks from the outside. Fourteen verified storefronts cover the city from Griffintown to Rosemont to Verdun, with a Québec manufacturer just east in Montréal-Est. The shop list is broad enough that you can compare a premium Moustache, a mid-range Aventon, a single-brand Trek, and a vintage-style Ride Bike Style — all within cycling distance of downtown.

Start with the specialists for range, the brand stores if you have already decided, and factor the Québec-specific rules into every conversation: throttle compliance, the 500W nameplate rule, and the STM ban are all things the right shop will raise unprompted. A shop that does not bring them up is a shop that does not know its market.

Before you visit: most shops are closed Sunday and several keep seasonal hours — call ahead. Book a test ride. Bring your use case — neighbourhood, commute distance, whether you ride in winter — and let the shop narrow the options for you. That conversation is free, and it is the most useful 20 minutes you can spend before committing $1,500–$5,000 on a machine you will ride in February. If none of these shops stock what you need, Zeus eBikes ships across Canada with free shipping, a 14-day return window, and real support at 1-866-938-7580. The Canadian eBike buying guide covers the questions to bring to any shop. The Montréal rules guide covers the compliance checklist.
