Quick Answer Peterborough has 3 verified eBike storefronts as of June 2026, from a dedicated electric-bike-and-scooter shop that has sold e-bikes here for over 15 years to an outdoor outfitter with a full e-bike fleet. The local rule that surprises new owners is on the trails: under the City's Active Transportation By-Law (TDM-14-096), a bicycle-style e-bike is welcome on the city's 40+ km of multi-use trails only if you are pedalling, while scooter-style (throttle) e-bikes are banned from multi-use trails entirely and confined to bike lanes. Ontario regulates e-bikes under the federal PAB framework (500W, 32 km/h, working pedals); you must be 16 or older and a helmet is required. If no local shop has the model you want, our national eBike Canada guide covers every category, and our Ontario eBike laws guide covers the rules in full.

How We Verified This Directory Each storefront was cross-referenced across the shop's own current website, its Google Business / mall listing, and independent directories (June 2026), and listed only when at least two independent sources confirmed it sells or services e-bikes from a physical Peterborough location. Where a shop could not be confirmed at a Peterborough address, we leave it out rather than pad the count: EZ Rides still shows a Peterborough address (645 Lansdowne St W — Lansdowne Place mall) on its own contact page, but the company's own announcement states its Peterborough operation relocated out of that mall to a warehouse in Youngs Point (Lakefield area) at 2113 Nathaway Drive, so it no longer has a confirmed Peterborough storefront and is not counted here. We also excluded Pedego (no physical Peterborough store — its page directs buyers to dealers elsewhere), big-box and online-only sellers, and B!KE, the Peterborough Community Bike Shop, which is a charitable DIY repair-and-education co-op rather than an e-bike retailer. Every bylaw statement is tied to a named primary source: the City of Peterborough's Walking and Cycling and Trails pages (Active Transportation By-Law TDM-14-096) and Ontario.ca's "Riding an e-bike" page. This directory is re-verified every six months.

Peterborough's e-bike retail scene is small but real — three storefronts, anchored by Green Street, a downtown shop that has specialized in electric bikes and scooters for more than 15 years, and rounded out by Wild Rock Outfitters, an outdoor-and-cycling store with a full e-bike fleet. The harder part here isn't buying the bike; it's knowing where you can legally ride it. Peterborough's trail rule is more specific than most cities': the City's Active Transportation By-Law (TDM-14-096) draws a hard line between a bicycle-style e-bike (welcome on multi-use trails, but only when you are pedalling) and a scooter-style e-bike (banned from those trails outright). This directory lists every verified shop, then walks through exactly what those rules mean before you ride.

The 3 Verified eBike Shops in Peterborough

Green Street — 237 George Street North

Address: 237 George St N, Peterborough, ON K9J 3G7
Phone: (705) 775-4545
Email: greenstreetptbo@gmail.com
Website: greenstreetonline.ca
Brands: AIMA, Velec, EMMO, Teslica, Trivel, Yuba (e-bikes and e-scooters)
Hours: Mon-Fri 9:30 am-6 pm · Sat 10 am-2 pm · Sun closed (confirm seasonally)
Focus: Peterborough's dedicated electric-bike and e-scooter storefront, locally owned and operated, specializing in e-bikes and scooters with a full bicycle, e-bike and e-scooter repair shop. Green Street has sold e-bikes in Peterborough for over 15 years and carries city, cargo (Yuba) and folding models alongside parts, accessories and service for most makes.

Wild Rock Outfitters — 169 Charlotte Street

Address: 169 Charlotte Street, Peterborough, ON K9J 2T7 (free parking behind the store, off George Street)
Phone: (705) 745-9133
Email: info@wildrock.net
Website: wildrock.net
Brands: Trek, Cannondale, Electra, Norco, Benno Bikes
Hours: Mon-Fri 10 am-6 pm · Sat 10 am-5 pm · Sun 12 pm-4 pm
Focus: A long-running outdoor outfitter with a full bike department and service centre, carrying a hybrid e-bike range from Trek (Verve+, FX+), Cannondale (Adventure Neo), Electra and Norco, plus Benno cargo. Sales, in-house service and bike fitting, e-bike rentals, and a trade-in program. The strongest pick if you want a name-brand commuter or path e-bike you can test and service locally.

Trailers Plus — 2223 Drummond Line

Address: 2223 Drummond Line, Peterborough, ON K9J 6X8
Phone: (705) 745-5732 (also 1-800-532-3396)
Website: trailersplus.net/Electric-Bikes
Brands: Vamoose (fat-tire e-bikes — Mammoth, Odin, Hondo AWD, Cruiser lines)
Hours: Mon-Fri 8 am-5 pm · Sat 9 am-12 pm · Sun closed
Focus: A trailer dealership that added an e-bike showroom, stocking all-terrain fat-tire e-bikes from Vamoose. Parts, service and financing are handled on-site. If you specifically want a fat-tire cruiser or all-wheel-drive e-bike rather than a city commuter, this is the room to walk into — but call ahead, as e-bike stock rotates alongside the trailer inventory.

Peterborough Shop Takeaway For a dedicated electric-bike-and-scooter shop with long local roots and full repair, start with Green Street (237 George St N). For name-brand commuter and path e-bikes you can test, service and rent, Wild Rock Outfitters (169 Charlotte St). For fat-tire and all-wheel-drive cruisers, Trailers Plus (2223 Drummond Line). One former option to note: EZ Rides has left its Lansdowne Place mall storefront — per its own website, the Peterborough operation moved to a warehouse in Youngs Point (Lakefield area), so it no longer has a confirmed Peterborough location.

Trail Access — Pedal-Style eBikes Welcome, Scooter-Style Banned

Multi-use trails — bicycle-style e-bikes, pedalling only The City of Peterborough maintains a growing multi-use trail network — roughly 40+ km, including the Rotary Greenway Trail (which runs north along the Otonabee River from the city out to Lakefield), the Trans Canada / Jackson Creek Trail, the Parkway Trail and the Crawford Trail. Under the Active Transportation By-Law (TDM-14-096), permitted uses on multi-use trails include "Walking, Wheelchairs and medical scooters, Cycling, Skateboarding, Running, In-line skating, Bicycle-style e-bikes if pedalling only." So a pedal-assist e-bike is welcome on these trails as long as you are actually pedalling. Source: peterborough.ca (Walking and Cycling; Trails and Bikeways).

Scooter-style (throttle) e-bikes — not on multi-use trails The City states it plainly: "We do not permit scooter-style E-bikes on our multi-use trails." Scooter-style e-bikes (the moped-style throttle machines without functional pedalling) may be used in bike lanes, but not on the multi-use trail network. If your bike is throttle-only or moped-style, keep it on the road and in bike lanes, and stay off the Greenway and Jackson Creek trails. Source: peterborough.ca Walking and Cycling (By-Law TDM-14-096).

Trail Access Takeaway Peterborough's trail rule is about how your bike moves, not just its power. A pedal-assist (bicycle-style) e-bike is fine on the city's 40+ km of multi-use trails so long as you are pedalling. A scooter-style or throttle-only e-bike is barred from those trails and limited to bike lanes. When in doubt, pedal — and follow posted signage on each segment.

Sidewalk & Path Rules — Downtown Is Off-Limits

Sidewalks — no riding downtown Under By-Law TDM-14-096, "You are not allowed to ride a bicycle on sidewalks downtown. Children under 14 years of age can ride on the sidewalk outside of the downtown." That child allowance is for bicycles, not e-bikes — and Ontario's provincial framework separately prohibits operating a power-assisted bicycle on any sidewalk. The City also distinguishes a path (wider than 2 metres) from a sidewalk (2 metres wide or less), which matters because paths and multi-use trails follow the cycling rules above, while sidewalks do not. Bottom line for adult e-bike riders: stay off sidewalks everywhere. Source: peterborough.ca Walking and Cycling.

Ontario eBike Laws — What Makes an eBike Legal in Peterborough

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)
Minimum age: Rider must be 16 or older
Helmet: Approved bicycle or motorcycle helmet required
Weight: Total weight must not exceed 120 kg
Licence / registration / insurance: Not required for a compliant PAB
Sidewalks: Prohibited (and Peterborough bans bicycle riding on downtown sidewalks under TDM-14-096)

E-bikes are allowed on most roads and in bike lanes where conventional bicycles are permitted, but they are prohibited on 400-series and other controlled-access highways and wherever a municipal bylaw bans them. In Peterborough, that municipal layer is the trail rule above: scooter-style e-bikes are kept off multi-use trails, and only pedalling bicycle-style e-bikes are allowed on them. No municipal age, helmet or power rule was found that differs from Ontario's PAB baseline during this June 2026 review. Sources: ontario.ca "Riding an e-bike"; City of Peterborough Active Transportation By-Law TDM-14-096.

Where to Ride Your eBike in Peterborough

City streets and bike lanes — permitted for both bicycle-style and scooter-style e-bikes; ride with traffic and signal turns. Bike lanes are the only place scooter-style e-bikes belong.
Multi-use trails (Rotary Greenway, Jackson Creek / Trans Canada, Parkway, Crawford — 40+ km) — open to bicycle-style e-bikes if pedalling only; scooter-style e-bikes are not allowed. Follow posted signage on each segment.
Sidewalks — off-limits; By-Law TDM-14-096 bans bicycle riding on downtown sidewalks, and Ontario prohibits riding a PAB on any sidewalk.
Paths vs. sidewalks — a path is wider than 2 metres and follows the cycling rules; a sidewalk is 2 metres or less and is for walking. Know which one you're on.
City parks and conservation areas — paved park trails generally follow the multi-use-trail rules above; for surrounding conservation lands (e.g. Otonabee Region Conservation Authority areas), confirm posted signage before riding, as trail-use rules vary by property. When unsure, call the City's Public Works at 705-745-1386.

Riding in Peterborough — Takeaway Streets, bike lanes and the city's 40+ km of multi-use trails are your dependable network — a pedalling bicycle-style e-bike rides as a bicycle there, with signage as the final word. Keep scooter-style e-bikes to the road and bike lanes, stay off every sidewalk, and confirm trail rules on conservation lands before you ride.

Frequently Asked Questions — Peterborough, ON eBikes

How many eBike shops are in Peterborough, ON?

Three verified storefronts as of June 2026: Green Street (237 George St N, (705) 775-4545 — a dedicated electric-bike and e-scooter shop with full repair, carrying AIMA, Velec, EMMO, Teslica, Trivel and Yuba), Wild Rock Outfitters (169 Charlotte St, (705) 745-9133 — Trek, Cannondale, Electra, Norco and Benno e-bikes with sales, service and rentals), and Trailers Plus (2223 Drummond Line, (705) 745-5732 — a showroom carrying Vamoose fat-tire e-bikes). Call ahead to confirm current stock and hours. Note: EZ Rides, formerly in Lansdowne Place mall, states on its own website that its Peterborough operation relocated to a warehouse in Youngs Point (Lakefield area) at 2113 Nathaway Drive — so it no longer has a confirmed Peterborough storefront and is not listed above.

Can I ride my eBike on Peterborough's trails?

It depends on the type of e-bike. Under the City of Peterborough's Active Transportation By-Law (TDM-14-096), a bicycle-style e-bike is permitted on the city's multi-use trails only if you are pedalling. Scooter-style (throttle-style) e-bikes are not permitted on multi-use trails at all — they may be used in bike lanes only. The city maintains roughly 40+ km of multi-use trails, including the Rotary Greenway Trail and the Trans Canada / Jackson Creek Trail. Source: peterborough.ca Walking and Cycling and Trails pages.

Can I ride an eBike on the sidewalk in Peterborough?

No. Under the City's Active Transportation By-Law (TDM-14-096), you are not allowed to ride a bicycle on sidewalks downtown; only children under 14 may ride on sidewalks outside the downtown, and that allowance is for bicycles, not e-bikes. Ontario's provincial framework separately prohibits operating a power-assisted bicycle on sidewalks. The city distinguishes a path (wider than 2 metres) from a sidewalk (2 metres wide or less). Source: peterborough.ca Walking and Cycling.

What are Ontario's eBike laws?

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

Does Peterborough have a dedicated electric-bike shop?

Yes. Green Street (237 George St N) is Peterborough's dedicated electric-bike and e-scooter storefront, specializing in e-bikes and scooters with a full bicycle, e-bike and e-scooter repair shop. It has sold e-bikes in Peterborough for over 15 years and carries AIMA, Velec, EMMO, Teslica, Trivel and Yuba. For e-bikes built into a broader outdoor-and-cycling shop, Wild Rock Outfitters (169 Charlotte St) carries Trek, Cannondale, Electra, Norco and Benno with sales, service and rentals.

Do I need a helmet to ride an eBike in Peterborough?

Yes. Under Ontario's Power-Assisted Bicycle rules, every e-bike rider must wear an approved bicycle or motorcycle helmet. Ontario also sets a minimum riding age of 16. There is no Peterborough-specific helmet or age bylaw that differs from the provincial standard found during this June 2026 review. Source: ontario.ca "Riding an e-bike."
