Quick Answer Saint John has 3 verified eBike storefronts inside the city limits as of June 2026: The Bike Works (178 Thorne Ave), which calls itself the largest e-bike dealer in Saint John; Hayward's Bike Shop (243 Loch Lomond Rd), a long-established shop that sells and services e-bikes; and The Power Store (1160 Loch Lomond Rd), an authorized retailer carrying Kawasaki ELEKTRODE electric bikes. Two more financing-partner shops sit just outside the city in Quispamsis. New Brunswick regulates e-bikes under the federal Power-Assisted Bicycle framework (500W, 32 km/h, working pedals); a helmet is mandatory for every rider of every age, cyclists must ride on the road rather than the sidewalk (the NB Motor Vehicle Act binds cyclists to the rules of the road), and there is currently no set minimum age. Our Canada-wide eBike laws guide covers the New Brunswick rules in full.
How We Verified This Directory Each storefront was cross-referenced across the shop's own website, its Google Business / social listing, the Saint John Energy e-bike financing partner list, and independent directories (June 2026), and listed only when at least two independent sources confirmed it sells or services e-bikes in Saint John itself. Where a source could not be reproduced live, we say so: Hayward's own website (haywardsbikeshop.ca) returned a 404 error during this audit, so its listing links to the shop's active Facebook page instead, and its e-bike service is confirmed via Saint John Energy's partner list, Levy Electric's dealer locator, and independent directories rather than the shop's own page. We excluded businesses that are not real Saint John storefronts — Pedego lists Saint John as a service area but operates no physical store here, so it is not counted. We also separate the city from its neighbours: Bikes and Beans and Millennium Cycle and Sport are financing partners but are located in Quispamsis, a distinct town, so they are noted as nearby and not counted in the verified-store total. Every bylaw statement is tied to a named primary source: the Government of New Brunswick and the NB Motor Vehicle Act for provincial e-bike, helmet and sidewalk rules, and the City of Saint John's own Parks and Recreation pages for the bikeway network and trails. Where the City does not publish an explicit e-bike rule (for example, a trail-by-trail e-bike policy), we label it unverified rather than assert it. This directory is re-verified every six months.

Saint John has three verified e-bike storefronts inside the city limits: The Bike Works on Thorne Avenue, which bills itself as the largest e-bike dealer in town; Hayward's on Loch Lomond Road; and The Power Store, an authorized Kawasaki retailer a little further up the same road. The harder part in Saint John isn't finding a shop — it's knowing the New Brunswick rules before you ride. Two catch most new owners off guard: the provincial helmet requirement applies to every rider of every age, not just kids, and you cannot ride on the sidewalk — cyclists are bound by the rules of the road under the provincial Motor Vehicle Act. This directory lists every verified shop, the nearby out-of-town options, and exactly what those rules mean before you ride.

The 3 Verified eBike Shops in Saint John

Saint John has three verified e-bike storefronts inside the city limits as of June 2026: The Bike Works on Thorne Avenue (the self-described largest local e-bike dealer), Hayward's on Loch Lomond Road, and The Power Store, an authorized Kawasaki retailer further up the same road. Addresses, phones, brands and hours for each are below.

The Bike Works — 178 Thorne Avenue

Address: 243 Loch Lomond Rd, Saint John, NB E2J 1Y6

Hours: Mon-Thu 9 am-5 pm · Fri 9 am-6 pm · Sat 9 am-3 pm · Sun closed (per directory listings — confirm before a special trip)
Focus: An established Saint John bike shop on Loch Lomond Road that sells and services electric bikes — it is listed as a Levy Electric dealer and is a participating retailer in the Saint John Energy e-bike financing program.

The Power Store — 1160 Loch Lomond Road

Address: 1160 Loch Lomond Rd, Saint John, NB E2J 1Z6

Saint John Shop Takeaway For the widest in-stock e-bike selection and a shop that calls itself the city's largest e-bike dealer, start with The Bike Works (178 Thorne Ave) — and shop early, since popular models sell out by June. For an established Loch Lomond Road shop that sells and services e-bikes (and is a financing partner), Hayward's (243 Loch Lomond Rd) — call ahead, as its website was down during our audit. For a Kawasaki ELEKTRODE e-bike specifically, The Power Store (1160 Loch Lomond Rd), weekdays only.

Nearby Shops Just Outside Saint John

Two more e-bike retailers sit a short drive from the city in Quispamsis, part of the Greater Saint John region. They are not Saint John storefronts, so we do not count them in the verified total above, but both are participating retailers in the Saint John Energy e-bike financing program and are worth the trip if the in-city shops don't have what you want.

  • Bikes and Beans — 3 Landing Court, Quispamsis, NB · (506) 849-2453 · a bike shop and café and a Saint John Energy financing partner.
  • Millennium Cycle and Sport — 28 Millennium Dr, Quispamsis, NB · (506) 849-7433 · a full-service cycle and sport shop and a financing partner.
One more region option — Sussex Outdoor Elements (597 Main Street, Sussex, NB · (506) 433-3060) is also a Saint John Energy e-bike financing partner, but Sussex is roughly an hour northeast of Saint John — included here only for completeness, not as a local option.

Saint John Energy's eBike Financing Program

Yes — Saint John Energy runs a local e-bike financing program, delivered through Zero30, that lets eligible customers buy an e-bike from a participating shop and repay it over time. In Saint John, The Bike Works and Hayward's both take part; confirm current rates, amounts and eligibility with the utility before you pay.

Local financing through your utility Saint John Energy runs an e-bike financing program (delivered through Zero30) that lets eligible customers finance an e-bike and repay it over time. The program is offered through a list of participating local bike shops — in Saint John itself, that includes The Bike Works and Hayward's Bike Shop; in nearby Quispamsis, Bikes and Beans and Millennium Cycle and Sport; and in Sussex, Outdoor Elements. If you plan to buy from one of those shops, ask about the program before you pay, since terms and eligibility are set by Saint John Energy, not the shop. Source: Saint John Energy (sjenergy.ca); Zero30. Confirm current rates, amounts and eligibility directly with Saint John Energy before relying on them.
Financing Takeaway If you're buying locally, the Saint John Energy program can spread the cost across one of the participating shops — confirm the current terms with the utility first. If you buy online instead, compare it against standard e-bike financing so you choose the lower total cost; our guide to financing an eBike in Canada walks through the math.

Trail & Sidewalk Rules in Saint John

Saint John has 25 km of dedicated and shared bike lanes plus an extensive trail system, but the rules differ by surface. Sidewalks are off-limits province-wide, the road network and bike lanes are clearly legal, and for trails like Harbour Passage and Rockwood Park the City publishes no e-bike-specific policy, so confirm access locally.

City bikeway network and trails Saint John maintains a growing bikeway network of 25 km of dedicated or shared bicycle lanes, plus an extensive trail system that includes the well-known Harbour Passage waterfront route and Rockwood Park — one of Canada's largest urban parks, with more than 55 trails and footpaths. The City actively promotes cycling as transportation across this network, and the local portion of the Trans Canada Trail runs from Grand Bay-Westfield through to Rothesay using a mix of dedicated lanes, shared lanes and off-road sections. Source: City of Saint John, "Mountain Biking and Cycling."
e-Bikes on individual trails — confirm locally (unverified) As of June 2026 the City of Saint John does not publish an e-bike-specific policy for individual trails such as Harbour Passage or Rockwood Park, so whether a pedal-assist e-bike is welcome can vary by segment and by posted signage. We could not verify a written e-bike rule for those trails from a City source, so we present this as unverified rather than asserting access. Confirm with Saint John Parks and Recreation (506-658-4455) and follow posted trail signs before riding an e-bike on a given path.
Sidewalks — off-limits in New Brunswick Cyclists in New Brunswick are governed by the rules of the road, not pedestrian rules, under the provincial Motor Vehicle Act — so a bicycle (and a compliant power-assisted bicycle) belongs on the roadway, not the sidewalk. Ride on the roadway, in marked bike lanes, or on the multi-use trail network instead. Source: NB Motor Vehicle Act (rules of the road for cyclists).
Trail Access Takeaway Saint John's 25 km of bike lanes and its road network are your dependable, clearly-legal routes. Treat sidewalks as off-limits — cyclists are bound by the rules of the road under the provincial Motor Vehicle Act. For trails like Harbour Passage and Rockwood Park, the City hasn't published an e-bike rule, so confirm with Parks and Recreation and obey posted signage before riding an e-bike there.

New Brunswick eBike Laws — What Makes an eBike Legal in Saint John

To ride legally in Saint John your e-bike must meet New Brunswick's adopted federal Power-Assisted Bicycle limits: a motor of 500W or less, motor assist that cuts off at 32 km/h, and fully operable pedals. Meet those and it counts as a bicycle — no licence, registration or insurance, but a helmet is mandatory for every age.

New Brunswick — federal Power-Assisted Bicycle (PAB) framework
  • Motor: Maximum 500W
  • Speed cut-off: Motor assist stops at 32 km/h
  • Pedals: Fully operable pedals required — a device meeting these limits is treated as a bicycle
  • Helmet: Approved helmet, chin strap fastened, mandatory for ALL ages on NB roads (law has applied to all ages since 1995)
  • Minimum age: None currently set in New Brunswick (differs from provinces such as Ontario, which require riders to be 16+)
  • Lighting: White front light and a red rear light or reflector required when riding at night
  • Licence / registration / insurance: Not required for a compliant PAB
  • Sidewalks: Cyclists ride on the road, not the sidewalk (provincial rules of the road under the NB Motor Vehicle Act) — ride on the road, in bike lanes, or on trails
A compliant e-bike may use roads and bike lanes where conventional bicycles are permitted, but not controlled-access highways closed to bicycles. New Brunswick treats a 500W / 32 km/h device with working pedals as a bicycle; if a motor exceeds those limits, it falls outside the PAB framework and is not a federally-classified power-assisted bicycle. We use the Canadian PAB framework here, not the US Class 1/2/3 system, because that is the law that applies in New Brunswick.

Where to Ride Your eBike in Saint John

A compliant e-bike rides as a bicycle in Saint John, so the same places open to cyclists are open to you, with a few clear limits. City streets and the 25 km of bike lanes are your dependable legal routes; sidewalks are off-limits; and trail-by-trail e-bike access should be confirmed before you ride. Here is the breakdown.

  • City streets and bike lanes — permitted; a compliant e-bike rides as a bicycle, so ride with traffic, signal your turns, and use the 25 km of dedicated and shared bike lanes where available.
  • Multi-use trails (Trans Canada Trail, etc.) — Saint John's trail system is built for cycling, but the City publishes no e-bike-specific rule per trail; follow posted signage and confirm e-bike access on a given path with Parks and Recreation.
  • Harbour Passage & Rockwood Park — popular cycling destinations, but e-bike access is not spelled out in a City policy we could verify; confirm before riding an e-bike and obey posted signs.
  • Sidewalks — off-limits in New Brunswick; cyclists (and e-bike riders) are bound by the rules of the road under the provincial Motor Vehicle Act and must use the road, not the sidewalk.
  • At night — carry a white front light and a red rear light or reflector, as required by provincial law.
Riding in Saint John — Takeaway Streets and the city's 25 km of bike lanes are your reliable, clearly-legal network — a compliant e-bike rides there as a bicycle. Wear a helmet every time (it's the law for all ages), stay off sidewalks (cyclists ride on the road under the NB Motor Vehicle Act), light up at night, and confirm trail-by-trail e-bike access with Parks and Recreation before riding Harbour Passage or Rockwood Park.

Frequently Asked Questions — Saint John, NB eBikes

How many eBike shops are in Saint John, NB?

Three verified storefronts inside Saint John's city limits as of June 2026: The Bike Works (178 Thorne Ave, (506) 652-2453 — describes itself as the largest e-bike dealer in Saint John, carries Giant e-bikes and is a Saint John Energy financing partner), Hayward's Bike Shop (243 Loch Lomond Rd, (506) 696-7433 — sells and services e-bikes, carries Levy Electric, and is also a financing partner), and The Power Store (1160 Loch Lomond Rd, (506) 657-7669 — an authorized dealer carrying Kawasaki ELEKTRODE electric bikes). Two more financing-partner shops, Bikes and Beans and Millennium Cycle and Sport, are in nearby Quispamsis rather than Saint John. Call ahead to confirm current stock and hours.

Can I ride my eBike on a sidewalk in Saint John?

No. In New Brunswick, cyclists are governed by the rules of the road, not pedestrian rules, under the provincial Motor Vehicle Act, so a bicycle belongs on the roadway rather than the sidewalk; because a compliant power-assisted bicycle (e-bike) is treated like a bicycle, the same applies. Ride on the roadway, in marked bike lanes, or on the city's multi-use trails instead. Source: NB Motor Vehicle Act (rules of the road for cyclists).

Do I need a helmet to ride an eBike in Saint John?

Yes. New Brunswick's helmet law applies to all ages — every cyclist and e-bike rider must wear an approved helmet, with the chin strap properly fastened, at all times on New Brunswick roads. The law has applied to all ages since 1995. There is no adult exemption. Source: New Brunswick Motor Vehicle Act; Government of New Brunswick road-safety guidance.

What are New Brunswick's eBike laws?

New Brunswick follows the federal Power-Assisted Bicycle framework: a motor of 500W or less, motor assist that cuts off at 32 km/h, and fully operable pedals. A device meeting those limits is treated as a bicycle, so no driver's licence, registration or insurance is required. A helmet is mandatory for all ages, and a white front light plus a red rear light or reflector are required when riding at night. New Brunswick currently sets no minimum age for riding an e-bike. Cyclists ride on the road, not the sidewalk, under the provincial rules of the road. Sources: Government of New Brunswick (Department of Public Safety) and the NB Motor Vehicle Act.

Is there a minimum age to ride an eBike in New Brunswick?

New Brunswick currently sets no minimum age to operate a compliant power-assisted bicycle, which differs from provinces such as Ontario (16+). However, the helmet requirement still applies to every rider of every age, and a parent or guardian must not permit anyone under 16 to ride without a properly fastened helmet. Because rules can change, confirm with Service New Brunswick before letting a younger rider use an e-bike on public roads.

Can I ride an eBike on Saint John's trails like Harbour Passage and Rockwood Park?

Saint John maintains a 25 km bikeway network of dedicated and shared bicycle lanes plus an extensive trail system that includes Harbour Passage and Rockwood Park (one of Canada's largest urban parks). The City promotes cycling as transportation across this network, but as of June 2026 it does not publish an e-bike-specific policy for individual trails, so pedal-assist e-bike access can vary by segment and by posted signage. We could not verify a written e-bike rule for Harbour Passage or Rockwood Park trails, so confirm with Saint John Parks and Recreation (506-658-4455) before riding, and always follow posted trail signs.
