Jun 2026Verified

Quick answer: As of June 2026, this directory independently verifies 69 electric bike brands with a real sales presence in Canada — 16 are Canadian-owned (Amego, Beachman, Biktrix, EBGO, Emmo, ENVO, Evoque, Gio Electric, iGO Electric, Movin’, OHM, Rize, Surface 604, and Velec), the rest are US-, China-, Europe-, or Japan-based. For every brand we confirmed the corporate owner, the country where the bikes are actually built, the real warranty terms, and the recall record — against primary sources, not marketing copy. Browse the full list below, then see where to buy in Ontario, British Columbia, or shop verified models at Zeus.

Why This Directory Exists

In December 2025, Rad Power Bikes — for years the default name in North American e-bikes — filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and a U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission battery-fire warning landed on its best-known models. When a brand folds, or ships from an address that never answers, the warranty you paid for can evaporate overnight — and Canada now has dozens of look-alike names competing for the gap it left. This directory verifies every electric-bike brand sold in Canada against primary records — who owns it, where it’s built, what the warranty actually covers, and its recall history — so you can tell a brand that will stand behind the bike from one that won’t.

The takeaway: Country of origin is not the same as quality — but ownership, certification, and the recall record are verifiable facts, and they are what decides whether a warranty is worth anything. Every entry below links to a fully sourced profile.

How We Verify a Brand

For each of the 65 brands we pulled the corporate registration — Corporations Canada, a U.S. state filing, or the foreign equivalent — to confirm who legally owns the brand and answers a warranty claim. We confirmed the country of manufacture from the company’s own published material, read the warranty and return policy off the live Canadian-facing page on the date shown, and cross-checked the recall record against the U.S. CPSC database and Health Canada’s recall list. Where a brand discloses nothing — no country, no legal entity — we say so rather than guess. No claim here rests on a brand’s own marketing alone, and every brand links to its full, individually sourced profile.

Want the short list instead of the long one? Zeus stocks a curated, Canadian-supported lineup — every model verified, shipped from Canada, backed by a real phone line.

⚠️ Non-compliant / off-road only · 1 brand

Wired Freedom — Not a compliant eBike under any Canadian province’s rules: 1,500W nominal motor (peaks 3,200W) reaches 35+ mph. Road-legal in Canada only as a registered motorcycle. Profile explains the legal position clearly.

The takeaway: Sixteen of these 69 brands are Canadian-owned, but Canadian ownership is no guarantee on its own — one is in receivership, another carries documented red flags. One brand (Wired Freedom) is not a road-legal eBike in Canada under any province’s rules. Read the profile, not just the flag.

What to Verify Before You Buy Any eBike Brand

The same six checks we run on every brand here are ones you can run yourself in about ten minutes:

Who legally owns it. Search the corporate registry (Corporations Canada, or a state/foreign filing). A brand with no findable legal entity is a brand with no one to answer a warranty claim.
Where it’s actually built. Confirm the country of manufacture against the company’s own material — and check whether it matches the marketing.
The real warranty. Frame, battery, and parts almost always carry different terms; the battery is usually the shortest. Read it on the brand’s live page, not a third-party summary.
The recall record. Search the brand on the U.S. CPSC and Health Canada recall lists before you buy.
Road-legality in Canada. A federal Power-Assisted Bicycle tops out at 500W nominal and 32 km/h with working pedals. Anything beyond that may not be street-legal — see our provincial guides.
A real Canadian presence. A findable Canadian address and phone number — not just a US website — is the difference between local support and a cross-border shipping label.

Financing the purchase? A verified bike is easier to live with when the payment is too. See how Canadians finance an e-bike — rates, terms, and the math — in our e-bike financing guide.
