Confirmed eBike Shops in Richmond Hill
Richmond Hill is home to a house-brand eBike company — something most cities its size don't have. Its marketing claims are fact-checked on this page. The shop mix includes a house-brand Canadian designer, a large multi-brand retailer, and an authorized Trek dealer. Here are the five confirmed storefronts, in order of their depth of eBike inventory.
1. EBIKECAN — House-Brand & Showroom (Fact-Checked)
EBIKECAN
79-556 Edward Ave, Richmond Hill, ON L4C 9Y5 · (647) 556-2113 · ebikecan.ca
Hours: Mon–Sat 10 AM–6 PM (summer) / Mon–Sat 10 AM–5 PM (winter). Sundays closed.
eBike brands: House-brand only — Aurora, Lancet, e-Fold, Sasquatch, Tremblant series (designed in Richmond Hill; assembly and origin claims fact-checked below)
Services: Sales, full service & repair on all eBike brands, complimentary 1-hr test rides. Advertises a 2-year warranty — its own warranty terms say otherwise (see fact-check)
Type: Canadian house-brand (design + stated local assembly; not a verified manufacturer) · Confirmed open · Test rides bookable online
EBIKECAN is a house-brand eBike company incorporated federally on 9 May 2022 (Corporations Canada). It says it designs and specs its own electric bikes in Richmond Hill, and its service page says the Edward Ave showroom repairs e-bikes "no matter the make or model" with parts "for most leading brands". We have not tested either claim. It is not the only brand-owned eBike operation in the city: Benelli keeps a weekday-only corporate showroom on East Beaver Creek Rd (shop 4 below).
The five series cover the main use cases: Aurora (road and gravel), Lancet (step-thru for easier mounting), e-Fold (folding for apartments and transit), Sasquatch (fat tire for winter and rough terrain), and Tremblant (mountain). Complimentary 1-hour test rides through Jefferson Forest trails are bookable online — an unusual offering that most eBike retailers anywhere in Canada don't provide.
EBIKECAN does not carry Zeus eBikes or any third-party brands. If you want to compare their lineup against the Zeus catalogue before making a decision, the Zeus team is available by phone at 1-866-938-7580 — both companies ship Canada-wide.
EBIKECAN fact-check: their claims vs the public record (checked 5 September 2026)
We list every open eBike storefront in a city, and no store pays to appear here. Listing is not endorsement. Where a store's marketing makes claims a shopper would rely on, we check them against the store's own policy pages and against public registries, and we publish what we found. EBIKECAN is invited to respond: send corrections to milad@zeusebikes.ca and this table will be updated when the record changes.
| Their claim | Where they make it | What the record shows | Our reading |
|---|---|---|---|
| "Canadian made" e-bikes | Product image text and a blog post titled "Canadian Made Electric Bikes" | Their About page says the company "partner[s] with leading OEM manufacturers and suppliers"; their blog says the bikes are "designed in Richmond Hill and assembled locally, with top-quality components sourced from" elsewhere. No Canadian-content figure and no qualifier such as "with imported parts" appears anywhere on the site. The Competition Bureau's Made in Canada guidance sets three conditions for that claim: at least 51% of direct production costs incurred in Canada, last substantial transformation in Canada, and a qualifying statement; otherwise it recommends "Assembled in Canada" or "Designed in Canada". | Not supported by anything public. Design in Richmond Hill and local assembly are the company's own description; we call it a Canadian-designed house-brand and nothing more. |
| "2-Years Warranty… comprehensive warranty coverage" | GoodLife offer page, FAQ, help centre | Their Warranty Terms & Agreement sets per-component periods: frame 48 months; battery, controller, charger, display, sensor, throttle 18 months; motor 15 months; drivetrain 6 months; tires and rims 6 months. The same document says "Refund policy is valid for one week after purchase". | Internally inconsistent. Two documents on the same site give two different warranties; the binding one is the terms page, and it is not a two-year comprehensive warranty. |
| "Fast & Free Shipping… 2–6 days, Across Canada & US" | Homepage and offer pages | Their shipping policy says Canada shipping is "3–7 business days", that "Currently, we do not offer international shipping", that shipping costs "are calculated… at the checkout", and that free shipping is something "we may offer… from time to time". | Contradicted by their own policy on all three points: speed, cost and US delivery. |
| "30-Day Returns… no hassle" | Homepage and offer pages | Their return policy requires written approval, fewer than 20 km on the odometer, no "wear and tear, dirt, dust, fragrance", and warns a 20% restocking fee "may incur"; the accessory clause reads "twenty-five percent (20%)"; the help centre says 25%. "Sale items" are listed as non-returnable, and "any item returned with an order that used a discount code will have the entire discount code value subtracted from the refund". | Narrowed to the point of contradiction. A sale-priced bike bought with the GoodLife discount would, on the policy's own words, be non-returnable or refunded minus the discount. |
| "GoodLife Members: Save 20% on new e bikes" | Dedicated offer page (online since at least 7 October 2025) | The page carries no terms, no code, no expiry, and does not say whether 20% applies to the sale price or the regular price. GoodLife's public Rewards partner list (98 partnerships when we pulled it on 5 September 2026) does not include EBIKECAN or any bike retailer. Other GoodLife partners' offers publish a code. | Not found on GoodLife's side. A members-only arrangement would not appear in the public list, so we can only say the partnership is not publicly listed and the offer has no published terms. |
| "Partners & Press Highlights" (National Post, Ebike Escape, BikeRide, Outdoor Adventure Show, GoodLife logos) | Homepage | The National Post logo links to a sponsored article which states it "was created by Content Works, Postmedia's commercial content division, on behalf of a client"; the page data names the client as EBIKECAN (12 November 2025). The Ebike Escape logo links to a YouTube video that carries YouTube's "includes paid promotion" label and opens with an affiliate link (15 January 2026). BikeRide's Lancet Pro MD review (1 July 2026) carries no paid label. The Outdoor Adventure Show image is a photo of their trade-show booth. | One paid advertorial, one paid-promotion video, one independent review, one trade-show appearance and one unlisted partnership are presented as press and partners. Readers should weigh each accordingly. |
| "UL certified", "UL 2849 certified electronics", "SGS; UL-C Certified" | Product pages and blog | These are the manufacturer's statements. We found no public certification-registry listing to confirm or refute them; UL's product database requires a login and SGS publishes no product directory. | Unverified. Not confirmed, not disproven. Ask the store for the certificate number before relying on it. |
| Struck-through "Regular price" on bikes | Product and offer pages | Archived captures of the Lancet page show a struck regular price in 6 of the 8 captures that carried a price since July 2024, while the "regular" figure itself moved from $1,699 to $1,799, $1,759, $2,099, $1,899 and today's $1,999. Under Competition Act s.74.01(2)–(3) a reference price must pass either a volume test or a time test. | We cannot see their sales volumes, so we draw no conclusion; we note the pattern so shoppers can judge the "save X%" figure for themselves. |
| Customer reviews | Product cards (4.3–5.0 stars) | The store's review system held 39 published reviews across 63 products on 5 September 2026, 19 of them on one model (Sasquatch). The star averages shown on the cards match the underlying reviews. | Checks out, on a small base. Read the individual reviews rather than the average. |
| "Founded in early 2022" | About page | Checks out for the company, not the store. Corporations Canada shows Ebikecan Inc. incorporated 9 May 2022, with Ontario registration two days later. The retail operation is newer: the ebikecan.ca domain was created 4 January 2023 (CIRA registry), the oldest product in the store's catalogue was created 12 January 2024, the first archived live homepage is dated 20 April 2024, and the trademark application was filed 6 December 2024. | A 2022 corporation whose online store went live in early 2024. Read "founded 2022" as the paperwork date, not two extra years of selling bikes. |
| Brand name | Site-wide | Trademark application 2366966 (EBIKECAN) was filed 6 December 2024 by a company director as an individual, is under examination, and was granted an extension of time to 4 December 2026. It is not registered. | Context only. The site does not claim a registered mark. |
What checks out. Ebikecan Inc. is an active federal corporation (Corporations Canada, incorporated 9 May 2022, annual returns 2024–2026 filed), with an active Ontario registration, a real showroom and service counter at 79-556 Edward Ave, bookable test rides, and one independent video review. The "founded in early 2022" line on their About page matches the registry.
2. EZBike Canada — Multi-Brand Retailer
EZBike Canada — Richmond Hill
10 Brodie Dr, Unit 4, Richmond Hill, ON L4B 3K8 · (647) 695-2668 · ezbike.ca
Hours: Mon–Sat 10 AM–6:30 PM. Sundays closed.
eBike brands: Aventon, Velotric, Heybike, Himiway, NCM, ET Cycle, Blutron, and others
Services: Sales, warranty support, authorized dealer for multiple brands
Type: Multi-brand retailer · Confirmed open · Primary GTA service centre
EZBike Canada's Richmond Hill location is their primary service centre for the Greater Toronto Area, with additional locations in Toronto and Montreal. As a multi-brand authorized dealer, they carry warranty-backed inventory from Aventon, Velotric, Heybike, Himiway, NCM, ET Cycle, and Blutron — giving them one of the broader brand selections in York Region.
The Brodie Dr location is described as their main service hub, which means eBike repairs and warranty claims are handled on-site rather than shipped elsewhere. If you are buying an eBike that you plan to use heavily in the GTA, proximity to a physical service centre matters.

4. Benelli Electric Bikes Canada — Corporate Showroom
Benelli Electric Bikes Canada
5-50 East Beaver Creek Rd, Richmond Hill, ON L4B 1G6 · 1-888-873-8071 · benellibikes.ca (website may be restricted — call to confirm)
Hours: Mon–Fri 9 AM–4:30 PM. No weekend hours listed.
eBike brands: Benelli-brand eBikes only
Type: Corporate showroom · Weekdays only · Call ahead before visiting — not a standard walk-in retail shop
Benelli Electric Bikes Canada is the Ontario headquarters and showroom for the Italian Benelli brand's Canadian electric bike operations. The weekday-only hours (9 AM–4:30 PM, Monday to Friday) and the East Beaver Creek business park address signal that this is a corporate showroom rather than a consumer retail destination. Call before visiting to confirm availability and whether retail viewing is permitted.
5. Dream Cyclery (formerly The Velo Love) — Giant eBikes
Dream Cyclery (formerly The Velo Love)
10830 Bayview Ave, Unit 103, Richmond Hill, ON L4S 1L7 · 905-780-2453 · dreamcyclery.com (website currently unreachable — call before visiting)
Hours: Tue–Fri 10 AM–7 PM · Sat 10 AM–5 PM · Sun 12–4 PM · Mon closed
eBike brands: Giant (including Giant E+ eBike series), Cervélo, Scott
Type: Authorized Giant dealer · Performance road/mountain shop — eBikes are part of the Giant lineup, not a specialist focus
Dream Cyclery, formerly known as The Velo Love Bike Shop (and before that, Impala Cycles Richmond Hill), is an authorized Giant dealer on Bayview Ave. Giant's eBike lineup — including the E+ series — is available as part of their broader inventory. This is not a dedicated eBike shop, but Giant is a well-supported brand with a national dealer network. If you already ride Giant and want an eBike from the same family, this is the local authorized source.
Richmond Hill eBike Rules (2026)
Richmond Hill made news in September 2025 by publishing a formal Micromobility Strategy — one of the more detailed municipal eBike frameworks in Ontario. The key distinction it draws is between pedal-assist (pedelec) eBikes and throttle/power-assist eBikes. These are treated differently on trails.
| Location | Pedal-Assist eBike | Throttle eBike |
|---|---|---|
| Municipal roads (≤50 km/h) | ✅ Permitted | ✅ Permitted |
| Boulevard cycling / bike lanes | ✅ Permitted | ✅ Permitted |
| Park trails & off-road paths | ✅ Permitted (where bikes allowed) | ❌ Banned |
| Sidewalks | ❌ Banned | ❌ Banned |
Source: City of Richmond Hill Micromobility Strategy, approved September 24, 2025 (richmondhill.ca). The strategy explicitly notes that throttle eBike trail access remains "under review" — meaning it is currently prohibited and may be revisited. Do not assume trails are open to throttle eBikes until this is resolved in writing.
Ontario's provincial PAB framework applies across the city: maximum 500W motor (nominal), motor assist cuts out at 32 km/h, minimum age 16 years, approved helmet required for all riders regardless of age. No licence, registration, or insurance required. For a full breakdown of Ontario's eBike law, read the Ontario eBike Laws guide.
York Region Transit (YRT) eBike Policy
Getting your eBike on a YRT bus is possible — but the weight limit is the hidden problem most riders don't check until they're standing at a stop.
- Weight limit: Under 55 lbs (25 kg) — most full-featured eBikes weigh 55–75 lbs and will fail this
- Wheel diameter: 20–29 inches
- Wheelbase: Maximum 44 inches
- Tire width: Maximum 2⅛ inches (54 mm) — fat-tire eBikes will not fit
- Peak hour ban: No bikes on buses 6:30–9:30 AM and 3:30–6:30 PM (weekdays)
- If rack is full: You may bring the eBike inside the bus (powered off, not blocking the aisle)
The practical reality: Lighter folding eBikes and step-thru models are the most likely to qualify for YRT's rack — full-sized fat-tire or cargo eBikes almost certainly won't make the 55 lb cutoff. Weigh your eBike before attempting to board. Source: yrt.ca, verified June 2026.
eBike Routes in Richmond Hill
Richmond Hill has over 1,046 km of walking and cycling facilities — a large network for a city of 220,000. The anchor route for eBike riders is the Lake to Lake Cycling Route.
Lake to Lake Cycling Route: 121 km total (18 km through Richmond Hill, following the Leslie Street alignment). Connects Markham in the south to Aurora in the north, ultimately linking Lake Ontario to Lake Simcoe. Over 12 km was complete within Richmond Hill as of 2020. Under the Micromobility Strategy, pedal-assist eBikes are treated the same as regular bikes on this route — throttle eBikes may use it only where it runs along roads, not off-road sections.
Jefferson Forest: EBIKECAN uses these trails for their complimentary test rides, indicating eBike access on at least some sections. The Oak Ridges Trail Association (ORTA) manages trail networks in this area but does not publish an explicit eBike policy on their website. Contact ORTA directly before riding off-road: 905-833-6600 / info@oakridgestrail.org.
York Region roads: eBikes are explicitly permitted in bike lanes and HOV lanes on all York Region roads under Regional Bylaw 220-53, following the same rules as regular cyclists.
Can't Find What You Need Locally?

Every Zeus eBike arrives partially assembled with a step-by-step video walkthrough. 14-day return window. Canadian warranty. Real humans available by phone.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many eBike shops are in Richmond Hill, ON?

A sixth business, E Bikes Direct (12960 Yonge St, 905-773-6699), listed as a conversion-kit specialist, could not be fully confirmed from live sources — call ahead before visiting.
Can I ride a throttle eBike on trails in Richmond Hill?
No. Richmond Hill's September 2025 Micromobility Strategy explicitly bans throttle/power-assist eBikes from all park trails and off-road paths. Pedal-assist eBikes are permitted on park trails where regular bikes are allowed. Both types are permitted on roads and boulevard cycling facilities. Sidewalks are banned for all eBike types. Source: richmondhill.ca Micromobility Strategy, September 2025.
Can I bring my eBike on a York Region Transit (YRT) bus?
Yes, with conditions. The bike rack requires an eBike under 55 lbs (25 kg), 20–29 inch wheels, under 44-inch wheelbase, and tires no wider than 2⅛ inches. Most full-sized eBikes (55–75 lbs) will not make the weight cutoff. Bikes are also banned from buses during peak hours: 6:30–9:30 AM and 3:30–6:30 PM on weekdays. If the rack is full, you may bring the eBike inside the bus, provided it does not block the aisle. Source: yrt.ca, verified June 2026.
What are Ontario's eBike (PAB) rules?
Ontario's Power-Assisted Bicycle (PAB) framework requires: maximum 500W motor (nominal), motor cuts out at 32 km/h, minimum age 16, approved helmet required for all riders, functional pedals, eBike + battery combined under 120 kg. No licence, registration, or insurance required. eBikes are banned from 400-series highways, QEW, and sidewalks. Richmond Hill's September 2025 Micromobility Strategy adds a local restriction banning throttle eBikes from park trails. Read the full Ontario eBike Laws guide for complete details.

Is EBIKECAN a good shop?
EBIKECAN (79-556 Edward Ave, 647-556-2113) is a Canadian house-brand company that designs its own eBikes in Richmond Hill. It is a real, open shop with bookable test rides; several of its marketing lines (a 2-year comprehensive warranty, free 2-to-6-day shipping across Canada and the US, 30-day no-hassle returns, Canadian made) are narrowed or contradicted by its own policy pages, as the fact-check table on this page documents. Their five series cover most riding styles — road/gravel, step-thru, folding, fat tire, and mountain. They offer complimentary 1-hour test rides through Jefferson Forest trails — a genuinely unusual offering among Canadian eBike retailers. Their service centre works on all eBike brands, not just their own. For riders who want to test before buying, EBIKECAN is the only local shop that formally offers bookable test rides.
Does EZBike Canada in Richmond Hill carry warranty support?
Yes. EZBike Canada's Richmond Hill location (10 Brodie Dr Unit 4, 647-695-2668) is their primary GTA service centre. They are authorized dealers for Aventon, Velotric, Heybike, Himiway, and other brands — which means warranty claims on bikes purchased there are handled on-site rather than shipped to a service depot.
What cycling routes can I use in Richmond Hill on an eBike?
The Lake to Lake Cycling Route runs 18 km through Richmond Hill following the Leslie Street alignment, connecting Markham (south) to Aurora (north) as part of a 121 km route from Lake Ontario to Lake Simcoe. Richmond Hill has over 1,046 km of walking and cycling facilities in total. eBikes are explicitly permitted in bike lanes and HOV lanes on York Region roads under Bylaw 220-53. Jefferson Forest trails have documented eBike access (EBIKECAN uses them for test rides). Oak Ridges Trail eBike policy is not published — contact ORTA at 905-833-6600 before riding off-road.
Does Zeus eBikes ship to Richmond Hill?
Yes. Zeus ships free across Canada — including Richmond Hill — with no minimum order. Every eBike arrives partially assembled with a step-by-step video walkthrough. Call 1-866-938-7580 or browse Zeus urban eBikes and Zeus step-through eBikes online. 14-day return window, Canadian warranty, and real humans available by phone.
