Which company are you actually buying from?

Rad Power Bikes' Canadian website names Rad Power Bikes Inc. as the party to every Canadian purchase, in terms dated 13 August 2024^[7], while the brand's current warranty is issued by another company, Rad Life Mobility, and says Rad Power Bikes, Inc. filed for Chapter 11 on 15 December 2025^[8]. The company a website names is the one you would have to reach for a refund or a warranty repair. This census reads, for every website we found selling e-bikes to people in Canada, which company it names, where it says it is, and what the public record shows.

We print both records and do not resolve them: we do not know which company processes a Canadian Rad order today. If you are buying, ask the seller in writing which company is the party to the sale and which company issues the warranty, before you pay.

Across the census, 215 of the 666 websites whose legal pages we could read (32%) print a company name with a legal form (Inc., Ltd., LLC and the like); the legal pages of the remaining 26 listed websites could not be read. Of the 666 whose pages we read, 267 print a Canadian address first, 195 an address outside Canada, and 204 no street address at all.

How many websites sell e-bikes to people in Canada?

We found 692 websites that sell e-bikes online to people in Canada, from 11,864 candidate domains checked on 21 and 22 October 2026. 2,119 of the candidates sell e-bikes in some form; 1,611 of those showed an online order control on an e-bike page, and once every domain that only forwards to another website is counted as that website, they are 1,337 websites, 692 of which show, on their own pages or records, that they serve Canada.

Each website shows that it serves Canada in one of five ways, and the registry prints the way for every row:

Of the 194 that say it in their own words, 141 say they ship to Canada, 39 ship within Canada only, 6 name the province or area they ship to, 6 say they ship from Canada, and 2 are large retailers whose own store data or terms say so.

• 4 more websites say both: one page states shipping to Canada and another refuses it. They are listed separately with both quotes, and are not counted in the 692.
• Another 353 e-bike stores on Shopify, reached only through the US census route, have a shop record that does not list Canada among their shipping destinations; they are outside this census.
• The rest of the 1,337 online e-bike websites are not counted: 172 say they do not ship to Canada, 468 say nothing about Canada on the pages we read, and the policy pages of 1 could not be read.
• 35 of the 692 websites are written in French (their pages declare it), and each is marked in the registry.

Who is behind the checkout?

Of the 666 websites whose terms and policy pages we could read, 215 (32%, about one in three) name the company behind the checkout, in those pages or in their footer; the other 451 show a brand name only. A company name alone is not proof of who you are dealing with, so we looked each one up in the public records.

The legal pages of 26 more websites could not be read, so for them the registry says policy pages not read, never no company.

Which public registers this census could search

Corporations Canada publishes its whole register of federal corporations as open data^[4]. 5 of the companies named by these websites match a federal record on the exact name and a second identifier (the postal code or the registered-office city), and those rows print the record; 30 more have a register entry with the same exact name but no second identifier, and those rows say only that. Contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence – Canada^[10]. BC Registries' OrgBook can be searched by anyone^[5]; 24 rows link an OrgBook entry rather than copying it, because OrgBook's data is published as access-only.

Companies registered only in Ontario, Quebec, Alberta, Manitoba, Nova Scotia or Saskatchewan cannot be checked by this census: Canada's Business Registries, which searches those registers, forbids automated tools ("You are not allowed to use automated tools to copy, search or scrape data from Canada's Business Registries")^[11]. You can search it yourself, by hand, in a minute; the ten-minute check shows how.

How long has each website been around?

The median website in this census has held its current domain registration for 7.9 years; a quarter have held it for less than 4.2 years. We looked up three clocks for every site: the domain registration date in its registry's own record (RDAP), the Internet Archive's earliest capture, and any founding year the site claims for itself; the table counts the websites each clock answered for.

29 websites registered their current domain less than a year before we read them. 164 sites state a founding year; for 90 of them, the year they claim is more than two years earlier than both their domain registration and their earliest archive capture. A business can be older than its website, so the registry prints the three dates side by side and draws no conclusion.

What happens when the company behind an e-bike website changes hands or closes?

Your warranty and refund rights run against the company named in the sale and the warranty, so a sale of the business or a bankruptcy changes who, if anyone, honours them. Two brands sold to Canadians show what that looks like in their own words.

• Rad Power Bikes. Its current warranty page says claims "relating to any Rad-branded products purchased prior to December 15, 2025, must be submitted as part of the bankruptcy process by filing a Proof of Claim"^[8]. Its Canadian site's own terms and warranty carry 2024 dates and name Rad Power Bikes Inc.^{[7, 9]}
• Stromer. Its FAQ for customers in the USA and Canada says: "Unfortunately, we are not supplying new Stromer or Desiknio bikes to the US or Canada until further notice", and that owners "can still contact current retailers for warranty and service needs"^[12].

To see whether a Canadian company is in insolvency proceedings, the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy keeps a records search; it charges a minimum of $8 per search^[13], so this census did not run it, and it is listed in the ten-minute check for anyone who wants to.

Made in Canada? What the e-bike websites claim

57 of the 692 websites make a claim about being Canadian on the pages we read: 18 proudly, 13 designed, 13 owned, 10 made, 3 assembled (each site counted once, by its strongest claim: made, then assembled, designed, Canadian-owned and "proudly Canadian"). These are the sites' own words; this census does not test them.

The Competition Bureau's enforcement guidelines set the bar it applies to these words. "Product of Canada" needs the last substantial transformation in Canada and "at least 98%" of the total direct costs incurred in Canada; "Made in Canada" needs the last substantial transformation in Canada, "at least 51%" of the total direct costs, and "an appropriate qualifying statement", for example "Made in Canada with imported parts"^[14]. A site that writes "assembled in Canada" or "designed in Canada" is making a narrower claim than "made in Canada".

For which e-bikes are actually built here, Zeus's guide to Canadian-made electric bikes traces the bikes one by one.

Can you buy an e-bike online from Amazon, Walmart, Costco, Canadian Tire or Best Buy?

Yes. On 21 and 22 October 2026, Costco Canada, Walmart Canada, Canadian Tire and RONA each listed e-bikes with prices and an online order button in their own search results, and Best Buy Canada's own product data showed an e-bike it sells marked purchasable and in stock online; each is a row in the registry with its evidence page linked.

On a marketplace listing, the seller of a given bike may be an outside company, and then the return window, any restocking fee and the warranty are that seller's rather than the retailer's.

Retailers this census could not list

Amazon.ca asks automated readers like this census to stay out in its robots.txt file, so it is not listed here.

Some retailers could not be read by this census in the same window, because their pages refused automated reading or did not draw their product list, and they are not counted: London Drugs, eBay, Temu, Princess Auto and Staples Canada. Others showed no e-bike on the pages we read: Sport Chek, MEC, The Home Depot and Decathlon (its e-bike page showed home delivery as unavailable). AliExpress listed e-bikes in Canadian dollars with order buttons, but its pages did not show that it ships them to Canada, so it is not listed.

Will you pay duty if the e-bike website is outside Canada?

You may. The Canada Border Services Agency says it collects "duty and taxes on imported items (including all online shopping)", and that a courier company "may take care of the customs details for you"^[15]. Fewer than one in ten of the sellers outside Canada in this census say who pays.

Of the 195 websites in this census whose first printed address is outside Canada, 5 say duties are included in the price, 10 say the buyer pays them, and 180 say nothing we could read.

Ask before you order whether the price includes duties, taxes and brokerage, and who pays them on delivery. For how tariffs apply to e-bikes in 2026, see Zeus's e-bike tariffs guide.

How to check an e-bike website in ten minutes

Seven checks answer most of what a buyer needs to know before paying a website they have not used before: who the company is, whether a public record matches it, how old its website is, whether its products have been recalled, and what happens if the order goes wrong. Each takes a minute or two and uses a free public tool.

1. Find the company the site names. Open its terms of service, refund policy or contact page and copy the legal name (a name ending in Inc., Ltd., Corp., LLC or similar). If no page names one, ask the seller in writing.
2. Search that exact name in the public registers. Search it by hand in Canada's Business Registries, which covers corporations and limited partnerships from "British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Québec, Nova Scotia, and Corporations Canada (federal)", but not sole proprietorships^[11]; a federal corporation also appears in Corporations Canada's search^[16], and a BC company in OrgBook BC^[5].
3. Check how old the domain is. For a .ca site, CIRA's WHOIS lookup^[17]; for any other, ICANN Lookup^[18]. Look at the creation date.
4. See how long the website has existed. Enter the address in the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine^[6] and note the earliest capture.
5. Search the brand for recalls. Health Canada's recalls and safety alerts^[19] lists consumer product recalls, e-bikes and batteries included.
6. Read who pays for returns, duties and the warranty. Find the return window, any restocking fee, who pays return shipping, whether duties are included, and which company issues the warranty.
7. Pay by credit card. In Ontario, British Columbia, Quebec and Alberta, if you cancel under the provincial law and the seller does not refund you, your card issuer must reverse the charge within a set period (see who enforces what).

Canadian insolvency records are searchable too, through the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy, for a minimum fee of $8 per search^[13].

Who to call when an online e-bike order goes wrong

Start with the seller in writing; if that fails, provincial consumer law gives you specific rights on online purchases, and four provinces' rules are summarised below from the statutes themselves. In every other province and territory, the consumer affairs office listed below handles complaints.

Ontario, Quebec and Alberta also let you cancel within seven days of receiving your copy of the contract when the seller skipped the information it must disclose before the sale (Ontario s. 40, Quebec s. 54.8, Alberta s. 6(1)); in British Columbia you may cancel within 30 days when the seller did not give you a copy of the contract (s. 49). For the other provinces and territories, contact the consumer affairs office^[25]:

• Manitoba: Consumer Protection Office
• New Brunswick: Financial and Consumer Services Commission
• Newfoundland and Labrador: Service NL (contact details in the Canadian Consumer Handbook directory)
• Northwest Territories: Consumer Affairs, Municipal and Community Affairs
• Nova Scotia: Service Nova Scotia (consumer awareness)
• Nunavut: Consumer Protection, Service Nunavut
• Prince Edward Island: Consumer Services, Department of Justice and Public Safety (its complaints page lists the areas it handles, among them direct selling, payday lending and debt collection, and says it cannot order a refund or cancel a contract)^[26]
• Saskatchewan: Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority (complaints)
• Yukon: Consumer Services, Department of Community Services (contact details in the Canadian Consumer Handbook directory)

What a public record cannot tell you

A record shows who a website says it is and what the registers and archives hold; it says nothing about a bike's quality, a company's service, or how a dispute would go. This census also has gaps of its own, named here so that no row is read as more than it is.

• Websites that block automated reading could not be read; they are counted as could-not-look, never as "does not sell".
• 88 more websites that sell e-bikes and show that they serve Canada are not listed, because no online order could be confirmed on them: for 36 no e-bike product page could be reached or read, for 26 the product page reached was not a complete e-bike, 9 showed no order control or no price, and a person read 17 and set them aside (parts, scooters, motor vehicles, wholesale-only or out-of-date offers and the like). Whether the first two groups take orders online is not known.
• A company registered only in a province other than British Columbia could not be checked, because the shared provincial search forbids automated tools; that search also leaves out sole proprietorships, so a missing record there is not proof of anything.
• A website that sells e-bikes only through a phone call, an in-store visit or a contact form is not an online seller here.
• For 30 listed websites no page was saved, so the search for rules that keep bikes from being shipped could not read them; their shipping and terms pages were read only for the earlier pickup rule.
• For 48 listed websites neither a shipping nor a terms page was read, so a rule that keeps their bikes to pickup would not have been seen.
• Prices were not compared and are not published, and no purchase was made.
• To test the list, we read 150 of the 594 websites it held when the check began, picked at random: 139 sell complete e-bikes online and show that they serve Canada (93%; between 87% and 96% at 95% confidence), 4 could not be decided from their own pages (3 of them sell only electric motorcycles without pedals, which the stores call e-bikes), and 7 were wrong and have been removed: 4 sell bikes online only for pickup in the shop, a rule written on their own pages, so that rule was then looked for on the shipping and terms pages of every website on the list; 2 do not ship to Canada although a line about international shipping was first read as saying so, so every website listed on such wording was read again in full; 1 sells only a part. Each of the 140 websites added to the list after that check was read one by one.
• We also read 60 picked at random from the 594 websites the census had left out although they showed signs of selling e-bikes (a different group from the listed ones, the same size by chance): 13 were in fact online sellers to Canada. What had hidden them was fixed for every website it could affect, and all 13 are now listed; 4 of the 60 could not be read well enough to tell.
• Because that first check shaped the fixes, a second check read 60 more, picked at random from the 482 websites still left out: 4 were online sellers to Canada (7%; between 3% and 16% at 95% confidence), so about 32 of those 482 websites (between 13 and 77) may have been missing when it was drawn. What had hidden them was fixed in turn for every website it could affect, and all 4 are now listed. No new sample has measured how many websites the list still misses, or still holds wrongly, after all these fixes.

The 692 listed websites, one row each

All 692 websites, grouped by the kind of seller, each with the company it names (linked to the page that names it), the government record that matches that company, and its three age clocks. A dash or "not read" means the census could not read that field; it never means the thing does not exist. 4 rows that a person confirmed by reading the site carry no link, because the page that person read was not recorded.

Online sellers whose kind is not determined (294)

Single-brand stores (263)

Multi-brand retailers (96)

Two-brand stores (34)

Marketplaces and mass merchants (5)

Websites whose own pages disagree about Canada (4)

Our own row: Zeus eBikes

Zeus's own website was read by the same rules as every other row. Its terms name the seller as "Zeus Ebikes Inc., operating the online store Zeus Ebikes Canada", with a Toronto mailing address^[27]. Shipping "is Free Canada wide", orders are processed within 1 to 3 business days after confirmation, and shipping times vary from 2 to 7 business days^[28]. Returns are accepted on "unused and unopened items within 15 days of delivery", and eligible returns carry a 15% restocking fee except where the return is our error^[29].

Read by the census: zeusebikes.ca states on its own pages that it ships to Canada (the page read); its domain was registered on 2024-01-26 and the Internet Archive's earliest capture is from 2024-01-26.

Frequently asked questions

Which websites sell e-bikes to people in Canada?

On 21 and 22 October 2026, we found 692 websites that let a person in Canada order an e-bike online, among 11,864 candidate domains we checked. Each is listed in the registry on this page with the company it names, its government record and its age.

How can I tell if an e-bike website is legit?

Find the company its terms name, search that exact name in Corporations Canada or Canada's Business Registries, check the domain's creation date and the Internet Archive's earliest capture, search the brand in Health Canada's recalls, read who pays for returns and who issues the warranty, and pay by credit card.

What are the best websites to buy an e-bike in Canada?

This census does not rank websites; it records who runs each one and what the public record shows. A website that names its company, prints a Canadian address for returns, states its return window and warranty issuer, and matches a public register is easier to hold to account.

Which e-bike companies are Canadian?

186 websites in this census print a Canadian street address first, beside Canadian prices or a Canadian phone number, or have a Shopify shop record that places the shop in Canada. A Canadian address does not show who owns a company; each row prints the company its website names. For brand-by-brand profiles, see Zeus's guide to e-bike brands in Canada.

Are any e-bikes made in Canada?

57 websites here claim to be Canadian in some way, from made in Canada to proudly Canadian; those are their own words, untested. The Competition Bureau expects a "Made in Canada" claim to have the last substantial transformation here, at least 51% Canadian direct costs and a qualifying statement.

How do I find out which company is behind an e-bike brand?

Read the website's terms of service and refund policy for the legal name, then search that name in Corporations Canada, Canada's Business Registries or OrgBook BC, and check the domain's registration record.

Is Rad Power Bikes still in business?

The Rad Power Bikes brand is under new ownership: its US warranty page says so as of February 27, 2026, and names Rad Life Mobility as the warranty issuer. Its Canadian site's terms, dated 13 August 2024, name Rad Power Bikes Inc. as the party to Canadian purchases.

What happens to my warranty if the company behind an e-bike goes out of business?

It depends on who issued the warranty and on any court process. Rad Power Bikes' current warranty page says claims on Rad products bought before December 15, 2025 go through the bankruptcy process by filing a Proof of Claim; Stromer says its dealers continue to honour warranty commitments in Canada.

How do I find an e-bike brand's official website?

Search the brand's company name in a public register, compare the domain's creation date and archive history, and look for the same legal name on the site's terms. The registry on this page lists every website we found with the company it names.

Will I pay duty or tariffs on an e-bike ordered from a US website?

You may: the CBSA collects duty and taxes on imported items, online shopping included. Of the 195 websites here whose address is outside Canada, 5 say duties are included and 10 say the buyer pays; the rest do not say.

Can I buy an e-bike online from Costco, Canadian Tire, Walmart, Best Buy or Amazon in Canada?

Yes, their websites list e-bikes; on a marketplace the bike may be sold by a third-party seller whose returns and warranty apply. Zeus has audited each of those shelves listing by listing.

Who sells e-bikes near me?

Zeus's directory of e-bike shops lists stores city by city across Canada; this census covers the websites that sell online.

How do I know if an e-bike website ships to Canada?

Look for a shipping page that names Canada, a Canadian address for returns and prices in Canadian dollars. When a site does not say, ask before ordering.

What can I do if an e-bike I ordered online is late or never arrives?

In Ontario, British Columbia, Quebec and Alberta you can cancel at any time before delivery once it is more than 30 days late, get a refund within 15 days, and, if you paid by credit card and the seller does not refund you, ask your card issuer to reverse the charge.

Who do I contact when an online e-bike order goes wrong?

The seller first, in writing; then your provincial or territorial consumer affairs office; and, if you paid by credit card, your card issuer. The offices are listed on this page.

The bottom line

We found 692 websites that will sell you an e-bike online in Canada, and the one detail that decides what happens after you pay, the company behind the checkout, is printed on about a third of the ones whose legal pages we could read. Read the terms before the price, search the name, and pay in a way that keeps your provincial card-reversal rights.

If you buy from Zeus, the company is Zeus Ebikes Inc., returns are accepted within 15 days of delivery on unused and unopened items with a 15% restocking fee, shipping is free across Canada, and people answer the phone at 1-866-938-7580. You can spread the cost with monthly financing at checkout.
