1500W Electric Bikes in Canada (2026): Rated Motors, Live Prices and the Road Rules
Every bike on this shelf has a motor its maker rates above 1,000W and up to 1,500W, all motors added together. 9 of them are in stock today, from $1,799 to $6,499 CAD. That puts each one over the 500W line the provincial e-bike rules converge on.

The 1500W bikes, cheapest first
All figures are the makers’ own; prices are in CAD, live from our store. Rated = the maker’s rated (nominal, continuous or sustained) figure, all motors added; where a maker prints one figure without saying rated or peak, we use that figure. — = the maker does not print it. Figures read on the makers’ own pages between 6 and 18 October 2026. Prices and stock are live from our store; a bike shows “Sold out” when no version is in stock. One listing sells several motors (the Eunorau Flash: 750W rear-drive, 1,000W mid-drive, or two 750W motors), so it sits on every shelf one of its versions fits.
How we choose the bikes on this shelf
We shelve by the motor’s rating, not its peak, because the rating is what the provincial e-bike definitions measure. Nova Scotia’s new definition, in force from 19 October 2026, is typical of how the provinces write it: the motors, “singly or in combination”, must have “a total continuous nominal power output rating” of 500 W or less (N.S. Reg. 221/2026, s. 3). So we add the motors together, read each figure on the maker’s own page, and where a maker prints two different figures for one motor, we print both instead of choosing one.
Two kinds of bike are kept off every wattage shelf: those whose maker prints only a peak, and those whose maker calls its rating a factory setting that can be unlocked. Until a maker publishes a rating we can use, those bikes stay on our dual-motor, full-suspension and long-range shelves.
What changes above 500W
The road rules
Canada has had no federal e-bike definition since the federal power-assisted-bicycle definition was repealed effective February 4, 2021. E-bike rules are provincial, and they converge on a 500W motor and 32 km/h of assisted speed (Nova Scotia’s 30 km/h ends on 19 October 2026). Under that line, an e-bike is treated much like a bicycle. Over it, you’re into off-road or motor-vehicle territory — different rules, different insurance, different places you can ride.
Where you can ride differs by province and city: our laws guide goes province by province.
FAQ — 1500W electric bikes in Canada
How fast does a 1500W electric bike go?
Wattage alone does not set top speed: the maker’s controller setting, the gearing and the load do. Each bike’s own page prints the maker’s top-speed figure, and several makers ship a lower road setting than the top figure they print.
Is a 1500W e-bike legal?
Canada has had no federal e-bike definition since the federal power-assisted-bicycle definition was repealed effective February 4, 2021. E-bike rules are provincial, and they converge on a 500W motor and 32 km/h of assisted speed (Nova Scotia’s 30 km/h ends on 19 October 2026). A motor rated 1,500W is three times that line, so these bikes sit outside the provincial e-bike rules. Under that line, an e-bike is treated much like a bicycle. Over it, you’re into off-road or motor-vehicle territory — different rules, different insurance, different places you can ride. Where you can ride differs by province and city: our laws guide goes province by province.
Why is a “3000W” or “4000W” bike on this shelf?
Because that number is its peak. Riding Times says of the GT73 Pro: “A 1500W rated motor delivers up to 3000W of peak output”, and Tesway prints the X9 AWD as “Rated Power 60V 1200W | Peak Power 60V 4000W”. We shelve every bike by its rating, and the table shows both figures.
