Quick Answer North Bay has 4 verified eBike storefronts as of June 2026: a dedicated EMMO electric-bike dealer plus three established bike shops that sell or service e-bikes, including two Trek-line retailers. The local rule that surprises new owners is on the trails: on the Kate Pace Way and Kinsmen Trail you must ride in pedal-only mode — no throttle — and every e-bike must carry a bell or horn. The City's Traffic By-Law 2014-38 also bans riding any bicycle on a sidewalk or boulevard. 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. If no local shop has the model you want, Zeus ships e-bikes free across Canada, every one built to the 500W PAB standard — and our Ontario eBike laws guide covers the rules in full.
How We Verified This Directory Each storefront was cross-referenced across Google Maps, the shop's own website or Facebook page, manufacturer dealer locators (EMMO, Trek and Electra), yellowpages.ca, and independent business directories (June 2026), and listed only when at least two independent sources confirmed a physical North Bay address that sells or services e-bikes. We excluded online-only and ship-to-you sellers (Pedego lists no physical North Bay dealer; Rugo Electric publishes a phone number but no verifiable storefront), a same-named California shop (northbaybikes.com, a 707 area code), and Scootz, whose stores are in Sault Ste. Marie, not North Bay. Where listings disagree — EMMO shows 1131 Cassells St in detailed listings but 1108 Cassells St on YellowPages/Firmania (same phone), with two different postal codes — we flag the conflict and tell you to confirm rather than pick one silently. Cheapskates' own website (cheapskatesports.com) was confirmed live in our June 2026 re-verification, and its address and phone are corroborated by the Trek and Electra dealer locators and its Facebook page. Every bylaw statement is tied to a named primary source: ontario.ca's "Riding an e-bike" page, the City of North Bay Traffic By-Law 2014-38 and Active Transportation pages, and Tourism North Bay / Northern Ontario Travel for the multi-use-trail rules. Because the City's official bylaw PDF is a scanned image with no searchable text, we present its sidewalk wording as reported rather than verbatim. This directory is re-verified every six months.

North Bay's e-bike retail scene is small but real — one dedicated electric-bike dealer and three established bike shops that sell or service e-bikes, all clustered along Cassells Street, John Street and Main Street. EMMO E-Bikes has run a North Bay storefront since 2011; Cycle Works and Cheapskates are Trek-line retailers whose catalogues include electric models, and Wheelhouse rounds out the local sales-and-service options. The harder part here isn't buying the bike — it's knowing where you can legally ride it. North Bay has its own twist on the rules: on the city's signature paved pathways, the Kate Pace Way and the Kinsmen Trail, e-bikes are welcome but only in pedal-only mode, and every e-bike needs a bell or horn. This directory lists every verified shop, then walks through exactly what those rules mean before you ride.

Trail Access — Pedal-Only on the Paths, Sidewalks Off-Limits

Multi-use trails: pedal-only mode, bell or horn required North Bay's two signature paved pathways — the Kate Pace Way (about 12 km along the Lake Nipissing waterfront) and the Kinsmen Trail (about 5 km along Chippewa Creek) — are multi-use trails shared by walkers, joggers, cyclists and inline skaters. On these trails, e-bikes must be ridden in pedal-only (pedal-assist) mode — no throttle-only riding — and North Bay cycling guidance states every e-bike "must be equipped with a bell or horn as a communication tool." Riders should keep single file, stay to the right except when passing, and yield to pedestrians. This is reported in Tourism North Bay / Northern Ontario Travel guidance rather than quoted from a published bylaw section, so follow posted signage on each trail. Sources: Tourism North Bay; Northern Ontario Travel ("A Guide to Riding E-Bikes in Ontario").
Sidewalks and boulevards — no bicycle riding The City of North Bay's Traffic By-Law 2014-38 prohibits riding a bicycle on a sidewalk or boulevard (you may ride over an approach or sidewalk crossing). Ontario's provincial framework separately prohibits operating a power-assisted bicycle on sidewalks, so the two rules point the same way. Because the City's official bylaw PDF is a scanned image with no searchable text layer, we present this wording as reported rather than verbatim. Source: City of North Bay Traffic By-Law 2014-38.
Mountain-bike trails — Laurentian Escarpment The Laurentian Escarpment community trails near North Bay are managed by the North Bay-Mattawa Conservation Authority (NBMCA) together with the North Bay Mountain Bike Association, and mountain biking is a permitted multi-use activity alongside hiking, dog-walking and snowshoeing. Trail-mapping data (Trailforks) shows e-bikes are supported on the escarpment community trails up to pedal-assist (consistent with the 500W / 32 km/h standard). NBMCA does not publish a standalone e-bike policy, so confirm with NBMCA at 705-474-5420 and follow trail signage before riding an e-bike on conservation trails. Sources: NBMCA; Trailforks (Laurentian Escarpment Community Trails).
Trail Access Takeaway On the Kate Pace Way and Kinsmen Trail, ride pedal-only and carry a bell or horn — throttle-only riding isn't allowed there. Stay off sidewalks and boulevards entirely (Traffic By-Law 2014-38). For mountain biking, the Laurentian Escarpment trails welcome bikes and support pedal-assist e-bikes — but confirm with NBMCA and watch the signage.

North Bay Transit and Trains — Check Before You Count On It

Transit and rail: confirm e-bike carriage directly North Bay Transit operates the city's conventional bus service, but the City does not publish a clear e-bike policy — a bike weight limit, a bikes-per-rack count, or whether front-load racks (where fitted) will hold a heavier e-bike. We could not verify an explicit North Bay Transit e-bike rule as of June 2026, so confirm with North Bay Transit before relying on a bus rack for part of your ride. For intercity travel, Ontario Northland's motorcoach and rail network serves the region, but bicycle and e-bike carriage rules (and any battery restrictions) vary by service — check with Ontario Northland before travelling with an e-bike. Treat both as unverified until you confirm with the carrier.

Ontario eBike Laws — What Makes an eBike Legal in North Bay

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
  • 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
  • Bell or horn: Required — and North Bay guidance specifically reminds e-bike riders of this
  • Sidewalks: Prohibited (and North Bay's Traffic By-Law 2014-38 bans bicycles on sidewalks and boulevards)
E-bikes are allowed on most roads and in bike lanes where conventional bicycles are permitted, but they are prohibited on certain provincial controlled-access (400-series) highways and wherever a municipal bylaw bans them. Ontario.ca confirms municipalities can pass their own e-bike restrictions — which is exactly what North Bay's pedal-only multi-use-trail rule and sidewalk ban do. No municipal age, helmet, power or registration rule was found that differs from Ontario's PAB baseline; North Bay adopts the provincial standard. Sources: ontario.ca "Riding an e-bike"; City of North Bay Traffic By-Law 2014-38. For the full provincial picture, see our Ontario eBike laws guide, and to shop with confidence read how to spot a legit eBike store.

Where to Ride Your eBike in North Bay

  • City streets and bike lanes — permitted; ride with traffic, signal turns, and use the Memorial Drive advisory bike lanes and "Share the Road" sharrows where marked.
  • Kate Pace Way and Kinsmen Trail (multi-use paths) — open to e-bikes in pedal-only mode; carry a bell or horn, keep single file and to the right, and yield to pedestrians.
  • Sidewalks and boulevards — off-limits; Traffic By-Law 2014-38 bans riding a bicycle on a sidewalk or boulevard, and Ontario prohibits riding a PAB on sidewalks regardless.
  • Laurentian Escarpment mountain-bike trails — biking permitted and pedal-assist e-bikes supported per trail-mapping data; confirm specifics with NBMCA (705-474-5420) and follow signage.
  • City parks and waterfront — the waterfront path connects to the Kate Pace Way; the City publishes no e-bike-specific park rule, so confirm trail-use specifics with the City before riding off the marked pathways.
Riding in North Bay — Takeaway Streets, bike lanes, and the Kate Pace Way and Kinsmen Trail (pedal-only) are your dependable network — carry a bell or horn and yield to pedestrians on the paths. Stay off sidewalks and boulevards, and don't assume Transit or Ontario Northland will carry the bike: neither publishes a clear e-bike policy, so confirm with the carrier before you ride to the stop.
