iGO Electric in Canada (2026): Verified Brand Profile, Receivership Reality & What It Means for Owners
We verified every claim in this iGO Electric profile against named primary sources before publishing. 📸 Cover by Playcut.ai
iGO Electric is one of the longest-running eBike brands in Canada — a Montreal-designed line sold for years through Costco Canada and London Drugs, with a real Canadian corporate entity behind it. What is harder to find is a straight answer to the question that matters most in 2026: who actually stands behind the warranty now that the brand's parent company is in court-ordered receivership? This profile answers that with named primary sources.
This page is part of an independent directory of eBike brands sold in Canada. Zeus eBikes does not sell iGO and has no commercial relationship with it; this profile follows the same neutral, sourced standard applied to every brand in the directory. Every factual claim below is traced to a specific source, and the brand's own claims that no third party has audited are labelled as claims.
We cross-checked every material claim against at least one primary source: Corporations Canada / federalcorporation.ca (entity, business number, registered office, directors), the brand's own live pages (igobike.ca terms, warranty, and storefront, all fetched live in June 2026), the U.S. CPSC recall database (cpsc.gov) and Health Canada's recalls-rappels.canada.ca, the Ernst & Young restructuring document centre and eBikes International's receivership reporting (which cites the court filing), The Globe and Mail's industry coverage, ElectricBikeReview's iGO brand page, Electric Bike Report's model reviews, Costco Canada and Liquidation Nation listings. Consumer reviews, forums, and a battery-vendor article are clearly identified as interested or unverified sources, never treated as primary evidence. Claims that could not be verified are labelled or omitted. iGO Electric, Fermetco Inc., and any other party named here has a standing right of reply: milad@zeusebikes.ca.
iGO Electric is a real, Montreal-based Canadian eBike brand founded in 2006 and owned by Fermetco Inc., a federally incorporated Quebec company (registered office in Lachine, QC). The bikes are Canadian-designed but built in China, per ElectricBikeReview. The decisive 2026 fact: per eBikes International citing court documents, Fermetco Inc. has been in court-ordered receivership since November 12, 2024 (Ernst & Young Inc. as receiver, Superior Court of Quebec, on a Royal Bank of Canada motion), which puts manufacturer-level warranty and parts support at risk. There is no CPSC or Health Canada recall on record. iGO bikes have been delisted from Costco Canada and now appear through liquidators, and the published warranty is original-owner-only and non-transferable.

In This Profile
The central concern on this page is not the brand's legitimacy — iGO is a real, long-standing Canadian company — but its corporate health. Its parent, Fermetco Inc., has been in court-ordered receivership since November 2024, which shapes what warranty and parts support a buyer can realistically expect. Every caution below is sourced; read them before buying new, used, or liquidation stock.
Who Is iGO Electric?
iGO Electric is a genuine Canadian eBike brand, founded in 2006 and based in Montreal, owned by a real Quebec corporation called Fermetco Inc. — not an anonymous offshore drop-shipper. The question that actually decides a 2026 purchase is corporate health: as of June 2026 the brand's parent is in court-ordered receivership, which is what shapes warranty and parts risk. Here is what the primary records show. (New to vetting eBike brands? Start with how to spot a legit eBike store in Canada.)
What iGO Electric Claims
iGO publicly positions itself as a Canadian brand founded in 2006 in Montreal, Quebec that "designs all of its models in house in Montreal" using local Quebec talent (per igobike.ca and dealer Power in Motion). The brand's origin story describes a founder who came from electric forklift/material-handling resale and a passion for cycling, building a family business; the brand also calls itself "one of Canada's largest sellers of ebikes." Sources: igobike.ca/ca/inside-igo; powerinmotion.ca/pages/more-info-on-igo; electricbikereview.com/brand/igo-electric/.
What Independent Research Found
The corporate substance checks out. Fermetco Inc. is a real Quebec corporation — Corporations Canada lists an original entity (#853674, incorporated 1979) and a current amalgamated entity, FERMETCO INC. (#1222655-3, business number 101781342), with Gary Richman and Reuben Richman as directors; Gary Richman is publicly identified as president of iGO Electric (federalcorporation.ca). The iGO brand, its Montreal base and its roughly 2006 launch are consistent across independent sources (eBikes International; ElectricBikeReview; dealer pages). The "designed in Montreal" positioning is the brand's own claim; ElectricBikeReview's brand page states the bikes are manufactured in China — in a factory handling frame welding, motor production, robotic painting and assembly — so "Canadian-designed, China-built" is the accurate characterization rather than Canadian-made. The Globe and Mail's June 2025 industry feature groups iGO Electric (Montreal), DOST Bikes (Vancouver) and Juiced Bikes (California) as brands that "all declared bankruptcy or went into receivership within roughly the past year"; for iGO specifically, the precise status in the primary trade coverage (eBikes International, citing the court filing) is receivership, not a bankruptcy filing — a distinction this profile keeps throughout. Sources: federalcorporation.ca; ebikes-international.com; theglobeandmail.com/business/article-shakeout-rattles-canadian-us-e-bike-industry/; electricbikereview.com/brand/igo-electric/.
iGO is backed by a real Canadian legal entity. Fermetco Inc. is federally incorporated and Quebec-based, with a registered office at 1300 55th Avenue, Suite 100, Lachine, QC, and business number 101781342 (Corporations Canada). The live igobike.ca terms page lists the same Lachine address and states orders ship within Canada with free shipping except to Yukon, NWT and Nunavut. No GST/HST number is published on the brand's terms or warranty pages as of June 2026. The important caveat: because Fermetco Inc. has been in court-ordered receivership since November 12, 2024 (per eBikes International, citing the court filing), the operating status of the entity now fulfilling iGO orders is not clearly disclosed on the live site. Sources: federalcorporation.ca/corporation/12226553; igobike.ca/ca/terms-and-conditions; ebikes-international.com.
iGO Electric is a genuine Canadian brand: Montreal-designed, China-built, founded in 2006, and owned by Fermetco Inc., a real Quebec corporation with named, identifiable directors. Legitimacy is not the issue. The issue is that its parent has been in court-ordered receivership since November 2024 — which is what every buyer needs to weigh, not whether the company is real.
Where Are iGO Electric eBikes Made?
iGO eBikes are Canadian-designed but built in China. The brand is designed and wholesaled by Fermetco Inc. out of Montreal and Lachine, QC, while ElectricBikeReview's iGO brand page states the bikes are manufactured in a Chinese factory that handles frame welding, motor production, robotic painting and assembly. So "made in Canada" is not accurate — "designed in Canada, built in China" is.
The specific OEM/ODM factory is not named in public sources. envodrive, citing the receivership filing, reports Chinese suppliers — including Zhejiang Xingyue Overfly Electric Vehicle — among Fermetco's listed creditors, which is consistent with offshore manufacturing but does not by itself confirm the assembly factory. Sources: electricbikereview.com/brand/igo-electric/; envodrive.com.
Battery Cells
Not disclosed by the manufacturer. Reviewed iGO models use a 48V removable lithium-ion pack — e.g., the Core Elite 3D and Core-Edge use a 48V 12Ah (576Wh) downtube battery — but the cell brand (Samsung/LG/Panasonic/etc.) is not specified on iGO's product pages, the Costco listing, or the independent reviews examined (none found as of June 2026). A third-party vendor (American Electric) sells replacement battery packs for iGO bikes, which indirectly indicates a proprietary pack design. Sources: adventure-outdoors.ca/products/igo-core-elite-3d-e-bike-no-pst; electricbikereport.com/igo-core-edge-review/.
Motor & Controller Serviceability
Motor: iGO-branded geared rear hub motors, typically 500W nominal (the Core-Edge is listed at 500W with 750W peak and roughly 50 Nm) on a 48V system. ElectricBikeReview's brand page states iGO was an early North American mid-drive adopter that has switched to hub-motor designs in recent years. Controller brand is not disclosed in the reviewed sources. Serviceability: the drivetrain and brakes use mainstream serviceable parts (Shimano Altus 8-speed, Tektro hydraulic disc) supported by Canadian shops; however, the motor, controller and battery are proprietary iGO components, and with Fermetco reported to be in receivership, factory-channel parts and support are uncertain — third-party replacement batteries exist, but motor/controller spares are not assured.

Ownership, Corporate History & the Receivership
iGO Electric is a brand of Fermetco Inc., a real federally incorporated, Quebec-based corporation — and the central fact for any 2026 buyer is that Fermetco has been in court-ordered receivership since November 12, 2024. The brand is genuinely Canadian and genuinely long-running; the open question is who now stands behind it. The primary records below set out the corporate structure and the receivership exactly as reported.
Corporate Entity
The iGO brand is owned and wholesaled by FERMETCO INC. Corporations Canada records show two linked entities: an original Fermetco Inc. (corporation #853674, incorporated May 4, 1979) and a current amalgamated entity, FERMETCO INC. (corporation #1222655-3, business number 101781342), with a registered office in Lachine, QC and Gary Richman and Reuben Richman listed as directors. "iGO Electric" is presented as a trade name of Fermetco; no separately incorporated "iGO Electric" entity was located in public records. According to eBikes International, citing the court filing, on November 12, 2024 the Superior Court of Quebec appointed Ernst & Young Inc. as receiver of Fermetco Inc.'s property on a motion by the Royal Bank of Canada. Sources: federalcorporation.ca/corporation/853674; federalcorporation.ca/corporation/12226553; ebikes-international.com.
The Receivership — What Is Reported
Per eBikes International, which cites the court documents, Fermetco Inc. owes over $19.5 million to secured creditors and over $2 million to unsecured creditors. (One secondary summary reports a lower total figure; the exact amounts should be confirmed against the court filing itself, which is administered through Ernst & Young Inc.'s restructuring document centre.) Receivership is a creditor-driven enforcement process and is distinct from a voluntary bankruptcy filing — a battery vendor's article describing iGO as having "entered bankruptcy" is, on the verified record, imprecise; the documented status is receivership. The Globe and Mail's June 2025 industry feature confirms iGO was among several North American brands that went into receivership or bankruptcy over the prior year. Sources: ebikes-international.com; theglobeandmail.com/business/article-shakeout-rattles-canadian-us-e-bike-industry/; documentcentre.ey.com.
Related Brands & History
Fermetco is described in trade coverage as originally a supplier of electric material-handling / forklift equipment. Alongside iGO, it wholesaled the related Quest eBike line, sold first through London Drugs and later through Costco Canada. Sources: ebikes-international.com; federalcorporation.ca.
Canadian Registration & Tax Status
Fermetco Inc. is a verified Canadian legal entity (federally incorporated, Quebec-based) with a registered office at 1300 55th Avenue, Suite 100, Lachine, QC, and business number 101781342. The live igobike.ca terms page lists the same Lachine address and states orders ship within Canada with free shipping except to Yukon, NWT and Nunavut. No GST/HST number is published on the brand's terms or warranty pages as of June 2026, and the live site does not name which entity now stands behind orders following the receivership — so the current operating and tax status of the order-fulfilling entity is not clearly disclosed. Sources: federalcorporation.ca/corporation/12226553; igobike.ca/ca/terms-and-conditions; ebikes-international.com.
iGO has a confirmed Canadian legal entity, which in normal times would let a buyer pursue a consumer-law claim against the company in Canada. But Fermetco Inc. has been in court-ordered receivership since November 2024, with over $19.5M reported owed to secured creditors — so the practical value of the manufacturer warranty, and the certainty of who is filling orders today, are both materially weakened.
Models Available in Canada
iGO's Canadian lineup centres on urban and commuter step-throughs, a hardtail, and a fat-tire line, most running a 500W nominal rear hub motor on a 48V battery. The models below were the brand's recent Canadian range; note that availability is now affected by the receivership and the Costco delisting, and some are surfacing through liquidators rather than the brand directly.
| Model | Type | Key spec | Canadian price (approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| iGO Elite 3D / Elite 3D HD | Urban / hybrid step-through | 500W; a former top Costco seller | ~$1,799–$2,499 |
| iGO Core Elite 3D | Commuter | 500W rear hub, 48V/576Wh, Shimano Altus 8-speed, up to ~75 km | ~$2,499.99 |
| iGO Core Edge | Electric hardtail | 500W (750W peak), Tektro hydraulic discs | Not consistently listed |
| iGO eXtreme | Fat-tire | Fat-tire trail/utility line | Not consistently listed |
| iGO Metro CX | City step-through commuter | 500W, cadence sensor, ~50 km claimed; now seen at liquidation pricing | ~$2,099 list (cleared lower) |
Pricing above sourced from the Canadian brand website and major Canadian retailers as of June 2026; prices change frequently and liquidation pricing varies by outlet.
iGO's reviewed models are specified at 500W nominal, which sits at the ceiling of Canada's federal Power-Assisted Bicycle (PAB) framework — 500W nominal motor power and a 32 km/h assisted limit. That makes the standard 500W models broadly consistent with the federal PAB definition, unlike many imported 750W eBikes. Some provinces apply their own rules on top of the federal standard. Before buying any eBike, confirm its legal status in your province using Canada's eBike laws guide.
The Warranty — What They Promise vs What You Get
iGO's written warranty is clear and reasonable on paper — up to 24 months on electrical components for its top series — but its real-world value is the problem, because the company that has to honour it, Fermetco Inc., is in receivership. The terms below are what iGO publishes; the section that follows is what the sourced record says about enforcing them in 2026.
What iGO Electric States
iGO publishes a limited warranty that is original-owner-only and explicitly non-transferable — it states it cannot pass to a subsequent owner. By series: Connect Series — 24 months on electrical components, 30 days on mechanical; CORE Series — 12 months electrical, 30 days mechanical; Certified Pre-Owned — 90 days electrical, 30 days mechanical. Exclusions include normal wear and consumables (tires, tubes, brake pads, cables and housing, grips, chain, spokes), water damage, and battery damage from power surges, improper chargers, improper maintenance or misuse. Claims are filed through the iGO Technical Support form with photos; for a Connect/Connected Series bike bought through an authorized dealer, the terms direct the owner to file through that dealer. Source: igobike.ca/warranty.
Warranty Reality
The published terms are clear; in our assessment, real-world enforceability through the manufacturer channel appears materially impaired by the receivership as of June 2026. eBikes International reports that the warranty obligor, Fermetco Inc., has been in court-ordered receivership since November 12, 2024, and quotes receiver-era guidance that for warranty matters "consumers should contact the dealer where they purchased their e-bike" — directing buyers away from the manufacturer channel. envodrive, a commercial eBike retailer and therefore an interested party, characterizes iGO owners as dependent on proprietary parts and dealer support that may "disappear," and promotes aftermarket components; that is its analysis, not an established fact. On ElectricBikeReview's forum, a thread titled "Is iGo out of business?" (dated November 27, 2024) records customer uncertainty about operational status, and older forum threads (2021–2023) record user complaints of pedal-assist failures, controller problems and power loss — these are unverified user-generated posts, not confirmed defect findings. A separate article by battery vendor American Electric asserts "support gaps" but documents no individual customer cases and promotes its own replacement batteries; we treat it as a low-weight, interested source and do not rely on its "bankruptcy" wording, since the verified status is receivership. iGO has not published any response on warranty continuity that we could locate. Sources: igobike.ca/warranty; ebikes-international.com; envodrive.com; forums.electricbikereview.com.
Review Authenticity
No evidence of incentivized, paid, or fake reviews — and no Competition Bureau or FTC action against iGO or Fermetco — was found as of June 2026. No Trustpilot business profile for igoelectric.com or igobike.ca was located. Absence of found evidence is not proof of absence.
Read the written warranty carefully, but weigh it against the receivership: the terms are fine on paper, yet the obligor is under a court-appointed receiver and receiver-era guidance points warranty questions to your selling dealer, not the manufacturer. The coverage is also original-owner-only and non-transferable, so any used or liquidation iGO carries no manufacturer warranty at all. If you buy, buying from a dealer who will stand behind the bike themselves matters more than the printed terms.
Safety Record & Recalls
iGO's safety record is clean on the public registries. No recall, safety alert, or battery-fire warning for iGO electric bikes or Fermetco was found in Health Canada's Recalls and Safety Alerts database or on CPSC.gov as of June 2026 — the CPSC eBike listings reviewed named other brands (Rad Power, Pacific Cycle, Gyroor, VIVI, FENGQS, Ridstar, Trek, Pedego) but not iGO. This is an absence of found records, not a guarantee that none exists.
Sources: recalls-rappels.canada.ca (Health Canada); cpsc.gov/Recalls; both searched June 2026. Absence of a listed recall means no government action was found at time of research, not a positive safety certification.
Before you buy any eBike in Canada, confirm it is road-legal where you ride: see our breakdown of Canadian eBike laws by province, including the federal 500W / 32 km/h power-assisted bicycle limit.
On the metric that matters most for fire and injury risk, iGO is clean: no CPSC recall, no Health Canada advisory, and no documented battery-fire report as of June 2026. That puts it in the better-documented half of the market on safety — a genuine point in its favour, separate from the receivership concern.
The Honest Ledger: Green Flags vs Red Flags
No brand is all one colour. Every flag below is drawn from the sourced facts above — corporate filings, CPSC and Health Canada databases, trade journalism, the brand's own pages, and clearly-labelled interested or unverified sources. None is added from opinion alone.
Green Flags
- Long-standing Canadian brand: active since 2006 under Fermetco Inc., a Quebec corporation whose original entity dates to 1979 — not a new drop-shipper (Corporations Canada #853674 / #1222655-3)
- Real, verifiable Canadian legal entity with a fixed registered office in Lachine, QC and federal business number 101781342 (federalcorporation.ca)
- Named, identifiable leadership: Gary Richman and Reuben Richman listed as directors; Gary Richman publicly identified as president — not anonymous operators
- Mainstream Canadian retail history: the iGO and Quest lines were sold through London Drugs and later Costco Canada (ebikes-international.com)
- Independent hardware reviews are reasonable for the price: Electric Bike Report praised the Core-Edge's Tektro hydraulic brakes and cadence-sensor responsiveness
- Service-friendly drivetrain and brakes (Shimano Altus 8-speed, Tektro hydraulic discs) that Canadian shops can service even without factory support
- No Health Canada or CPSC recall or battery-fire warning on record as of June 2026
Red Flags
- Parent company Fermetco Inc. placed in court-ordered receivership (Ernst & Young Inc. as receiver) by the Superior Court of Quebec on November 12, 2024, on an RBC motion — over $19.5M reported owed to secured creditors, over $2M to unsecured (ebikes-international.com, citing court documents)
- Warranty enforceability appears impaired: receiver-era guidance directs warranty questions to the selling dealer rather than the manufacturer (ebikes-international.com; envodrive.com)
- iGO bikes no longer appear on Costco Canada as of June 2026 and have surfaced through liquidators such as Liquidation Nation — a pattern reasonably read as consistent with a wind-down (costco.ca; liquidationnation.ca)
- The published warranty is original-owner-only and non-transferable, so used or liquidation iGO bikes carry no manufacturer warranty even if the obligor were solvent (igobike.ca/warranty)
- Despite Montreal design positioning, the bikes are manufactured in China; battery cell brand is not disclosed on the product pages reviewed (electricbikereview.com/brand/igo-electric/)
- No GST/HST number is disclosed on the brand's terms or warranty pages, and the live site does not name which entity now stands behind orders post-receivership (igobike.ca/ca/terms-and-conditions)
- Older owner forum threads (2021–2023) record complaints of pedal-assist failures, controller problems and power loss — unverified user posts, relevant mainly because receivership reduces the chance of a factory remedy (forums.electricbikereview.com)
iGO Electric is a genuine, long-running Canadian eBike brand — Montreal-designed, China-built, with a real Quebec corporate entity, named directors, a clean safety record, and components Canadian shops can service. In ordinary circumstances it would be an easy brand to recommend at its price point. The circumstance that changes the calculation is the court-ordered receivership of its parent, Fermetco Inc., in effect since November 2024, with over $19.5M reported owed to secured creditors. On the sourced record, that makes the manufacturer-channel warranty and parts supply genuinely uncertain, points buyers to their selling dealer for support, and means any used or liquidation iGO carries no manufacturer warranty at all. In our view, a new iGO purchase in 2026 is sensible only through a dealer who will personally stand behind the bike in writing; for a private-sale or liquidation iGO, budget for the possibility of zero factory support and confirm that proprietary parts (motor, controller, battery) are obtainable before you buy. This is an opinion drawn from the disclosed facts above — iGO and Fermetco are welcome to respond, and any update will be published: milad@zeusebikes.ca.
Frequently Asked Questions — iGO Electric Canada
Is iGO Electric a legitimate company?
iGO Electric is a real, long-standing Canadian eBike brand owned by Fermetco Inc., a federally incorporated Quebec company with a registered office in Lachine, QC. It is not an anonymous drop-shipper. The major caution is corporate health rather than legitimacy: per eBikes International, citing court documents, parent company Fermetco Inc. has been in court-ordered receivership, with Ernst & Young Inc. as receiver, since November 12, 2024, on a motion by the Royal Bank of Canada — which puts manufacturer-level warranty and parts support at risk. Sources: federalcorporation.ca; ebikes-international.com.
Is iGO Electric a Canadian company?
Yes. iGO is a Montreal-based brand owned by Fermetco Inc., a federally incorporated, Quebec-based legal entity with a registered office at 1300 55th Avenue, Suite 100, Lachine, QC, and business number 101781342 (Corporations Canada). The live igobike.ca terms page lists the same Lachine address. No GST/HST number is published on the brand's terms or warranty pages as of June 2026. Because eBikes International reports that Fermetco Inc. has been in court-ordered receivership since November 12, 2024, the operating status of the entity currently fulfilling iGO orders is not clearly disclosed. The brand being Canadian-registered is a genuine advantage for any consumer-law dispute. Sources: federalcorporation.ca/corporation/12226553; igobike.ca/ca/terms-and-conditions; ebikes-international.com.
Where are iGO Electric eBikes made?
iGO is Canadian-designed but China-built. The brand positions itself as designing its models in Montreal, but ElectricBikeReview's iGO brand page states the line is produced in a factory in China that handles frame welding, motor production, robotic painting and assembly — so the accurate characterization is Canadian-designed, China-built rather than made in Canada. The brand is owned by Fermetco Inc. (Corporations Canada amalgamated entity #1222655-3; original entity #853674 incorporated 1979), with Gary Richman and Reuben Richman listed as directors and Gary Richman publicly identified as president. Sources: electricbikereview.com/brand/igo-electric/; federalcorporation.ca; igobike.ca.
Does iGO Electric honour its warranty in Canada?
The published warranty terms are clear — by series, up to 24 months on electrical components and 30 days on mechanical, original-owner-only and non-transferable — but real-world enforceability through the manufacturer channel appears materially impaired. eBikes International reports that the warranty obligor, Fermetco Inc., has been in court-ordered receivership since November 12, 2024, and quotes receiver-era guidance that for warranty matters consumers should contact the dealer where they bought the bike, rather than the manufacturer. envodrive, a commercial eBike retailer and therefore an interested party, characterizes iGO owners as dependent on proprietary parts and support that may no longer be available — its analysis, not an asserted fact. Older owner forum threads on ElectricBikeReview (2021 to 2023) record user complaints of pedal-assist failures, controller problems and power loss; these are unverified user allegations, not confirmed defect findings. iGO has not published a response on warranty continuity that we could locate. Sources: igobike.ca/warranty; ebikes-international.com; envodrive.com; forums.electricbikereview.com.
Has iGO Electric had any recalls or safety issues?
No recalls or safety alerts for iGO electric bikes or Fermetco were found in the Health Canada Recalls and Safety Alerts database as of June 2026, and no iGO or Fermetco recall or warning was found on CPSC.gov as of June 2026. No iGO-specific battery-fire report was located in the named sources as of June 2026. This is an absence of found records, not a guarantee that none exists. Sources: recalls-rappels.canada.ca (Health Canada); cpsc.gov/Recalls.
Should I buy a liquidation or used iGO eBike?
Proceed with caution. iGO bikes no longer appear on Costco Canada as of June 2026, and remaining inventory has surfaced through third-party liquidators such as Liquidation Nation. iGO's published warranty is original-owner-only and explicitly non-transferable, so a used or liquidation bike carries no manufacturer warranty even if the obligor were solvent — and with Fermetco Inc. in receivership, manufacturer-channel support is itself in question. The drivetrain and brakes on reviewed models use mainstream serviceable parts (Shimano Altus, Tektro hydraulic discs) that Canadian shops can service, but the motor, controller and battery are proprietary iGO components, so confirm those are obtainable before buying. Sources: igobike.ca/warranty; liquidationnation.ca; ebikes-international.com.
