500W Electric Bikes

500W Electric Bikes in Canada: 42 Models, Live Prices and the Rules

Every e-bike and trike here has a motor its maker lists at 500W or less; where a maker also prints a second motor figure, the lineup shows both. They run from city and folding bikes to fat tires, mid-drives, trikes and kids' bikes. The lineup below gives each one's motor, battery and tires as its maker prints them, with live prices and stock. For our ranked picks and the reasons behind them, read the Best 500W E-Bikes in Canada guide.

Every 500W E-Bike Here, Cheapest First

Each line repeats the maker's own figures from its Canadian product page, read on 31 October 2026; some makers print a larger motor for the same model on their other stores. Where a maker prints two motor figures for one bike (5 here), both appear with where each is printed. A km/h figure marked "about" is our conversion of the maker's mph. Prices are the lowest you can order today, in CAD.

Factory-Limited to 500W: 5 Eahora Models

Eahora Canada sells these bikes “Factory-limited to 500W output to comply with local road regulations”, and most of its Canadian pages add “peak performance unlocked for private use”. Eahora’s global pages rate the motors higher, so they are listed here, apart from the grid above: the provincial definitions in the rules below count a motor’s rating, and whether a factory limit changes how a province classifies a bike is not settled. Check your province in our laws guide before riding one on a public road.

How Fast Does a 500W E-Bike Go?

The rules stop motor help at 32 km/h (20 mph): on a power-assisted bicycle, the motor cuts out there and any faster riding is your own pedalling. The 500 watts does not set that number. A speed setting does, and some makers sell bikes that can be set faster. Keep yours at 32 km/h, because a bike set to assist faster no longer meets the power-assisted bicycle rules.

Makers who also print a faster speed for these bikes:

• Riding Times Z8 / Z8 Pro: ships in a 25 km/h speed-limit mode; Riding Times prints a 50 km/h top speed
• Riding Times GT33: ships in a 25 km/h Canada street mode; 50 km/h when configured
• Samebike XD26-II: its description says up to 28 mph (about 45 km/h) with the throttle
• Samebike M20: 32 km/h in its spec table; its feature block prints 50 km/h max and a 25 km/h default setting
• Taubik Monaco: a feature paragraph says 41 km/h; the spec table says 32 km/h
• Velotric Tempo: up to 28 mph (about 45 km/h) in Custom Mode
• Velotric Discover M: ships at 32 km/h, adjustable to 45 km/h
• Eunorau Urus 2.0: ships at 32 km/h; Eunorau also prints 45 km/h (28 mph) and calls it unlockable

Slower by design:

• Eunorau EKIDS-16: handlebar limits, top 12.5 mph (about 20 km/h)
• Eunorau EKIDS-20: handlebar limits, top 15.5 mph (about 25 km/h)
• Eunorau eKids 24: handlebar limits, top 15.5 mph (about 25 km/h)
• Meigi Hera City: top speed 15 mph (about 24 km/h)
• Meigi Silverado HD: up to 15 mph (about 24 km/h)
• Addmotor SpytanX: top speed 15 mph (24 km/h)

Is 500W Enough? Hills, Torque and Mid-Drives

For commuting and moderate hills, yes; for steep daily climbs, our Best 500W E-Bikes guide points to a mid-drive. Torque, in newton-metres (N·m), is the figure to compare: the makers here that print it give 35 to 160 N·m. A mid-drive turns the cranks, so the bike's low gears multiply its pull on a steep climb; the mid-drives here are the Eunorau SPECTER-ST 2.0 ($3,416) and Velotric Discover M ($3,899) and Eunorau Urus 2.0 ($5,499). Riding Times gives the GT33 258 N·m of wheel torque, a different measurement, so it is left out of that range.

How Far Does a 500W E-Bike Go?

On a full charge and the throttle alone, for an 82 kg rider on flat pavement in still air at 25 °C, the 6 bikes here that our US sister store, RedTail eBikes, has modelled go about 48 to 53 km at 32 km/h and about 71 to 80 km at 24 km/h. Pedalling stretches every figure; climbing shortens it.

RedTail’s figures, converted from miles: throttle only, level pavement, still air at 77 °F (25 °C), a 180 lb (82 kg) rider, one full pack. All 6 are Eunorau bikes: RedTail has also modelled five other bikes sold here, but in versions with a different motor from the ones Zeus sells, so they are left out.

Range depends on the battery, your speed and your weight. To compare packs, multiply volts by amp-hours: a 48V 15Ah battery holds 720 Wh.

500W vs 750W vs 1000W: Which to Buy in Canada

For public roads, buy 500W. In most provinces the power-assisted bicycle rules stop at a 500W motor, so a 750W or 1,000W bike does not qualify as one. Ontario's cargo e-bike pilot allows a motor up to 1,000W on a qualifying cargo bike; on municipal roads, only where a by-law allows it (O. Reg. 141/21, s. 3). Compare the 750W and 1000W e-bikes, or read our wattage guide.

500W E-Bike Rules in Canada

The provincial rules converge on a motor rated 500W or less, assistance that stops at 32 km/h (Nova Scotia’s 30 km/h ended on 19 October 2026: N.S. Reg. 221/2026, s. 3) and pedals that propel the bike; British Columbia adds a lighter 250W, 25 km/h class (B.C. Reg. 64/2024). A bike that meets the test needs no registration and no insurance in any province, and no driver's licence except in Québec (Newfoundland and Labrador's Act reads two ways on this). In Québec, a rider under 18 needs a Class 6D moped licence, available from 14 (SAAQ).

Motors count together in at least five jurisdictions. The definitions of Saskatchewan, Prince Edward Island, Yukon and Nova Scotia say “singly or in combination”, and British Columbia’s says “in total”: under those, two 500W motors make a 1,000W bike, so no dual-motor bike is on this shelf. They are in our dual-motor collection.

Riding during a licence suspension or a driving prohibition is a separate question. Prince Edward Island's regulation bars it outright (Power-Assisted Bicycles Regulations, s. 13(4)), and the Criminal Code, s. 2 defines a motor vehicle as one “drawn, propelled or driven by any means other than muscular power”, with no e-bike exception. Ask a lawyer before you ride.

Where you can ride is set by each province and then by each municipality or park, and some paths that allow bicycles bar e-bikes. Our laws guide covers every province.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a 500W e-bike legal in Canada?

A 500W motor meets the motor part of the provincial test. The bike also needs assistance that stops at 32 km/h and pedals that propel it. A bike that meets that test needs no registration and no insurance in any province, and no driver's licence except in Québec (Newfoundland and Labrador's Act reads two ways on this); in Québec, a rider under 18 needs a Class 6D moped licence. Province by province: our laws guide.

How fast does a 500W e-bike go?

The rules stop motor help at 32 km/h (20 mph); you can pedal faster on your own. The 500 watts does not set that speed: a speed setting does, and the makers of 8 bikes here also print a faster speed (see the list). Keep the setting at 32 km/h on public roads.

Is 500W enough for hills?

For commuting and moderate hills, yes; for steep daily climbs, our Best 500W E-Bikes guide points to a mid-drive. Torque, in newton-metres (N·m), is the figure to compare: the makers here that print it give 35 to 160 N·m. A mid-drive drives through the bike's gears, which helps on a steep climb; the mid-drives here are the Eunorau SPECTER-ST 2.0 ($3,416) and Velotric Discover M ($3,899) and Eunorau Urus 2.0 ($5,499).

How far can a 500W e-bike go on one charge?

It depends on the battery, your speed and your weight. Our US sister store, RedTail eBikes, modelled 6 of the bikes here on the throttle alone, for an 82 kg rider on flat pavement in still air at 25 °C: from a full charge they go about 48 to 53 km at 32 km/h and about 71 to 80 km at 24 km/h (the range table links each model). Pedalling stretches those figures; climbing shortens them. Compare batteries by volts × amp-hours: a 48V 15Ah pack holds 720 Wh.

What is the difference between rated and peak power?

Rated (nominal) power is what the motor can deliver continuously; peak is a short burst for starts and climbs. The provincial test uses the rating, so a bike rated 500W with a 1,000W peak meets the motor part of the test, and a bike rated 750W does not.

Should I buy a 500W or a 750W e-bike in Canada?

For public roads, 500W: it is the common ceiling, so a 750W bike is not a power-assisted bicycle in most provinces. Ontario's cargo e-bike pilot allows a motor up to 1,000W on a qualifying cargo bike; on municipal roads, only where a by-law allows it. Compare the 750W e-bikes or read our wattage guide.

By type, it picks the Eunorau Meta Foldable and the Taubik Monaco S for folding; the Samebike XD26-II and the Eunorau Defender for mountain and trail; the Velotric Discover M and the Eunorau Urus 2.0 for mid-drive; and the Eunorau ONE-TRIKE 2.0 and the Meet One Breeze Pro 2.0 for trikes. The guide gives the reasons for each.

Why aren't dual-motor bikes on this page?

Because motors count together in at least five jurisdictions: Saskatchewan's, Prince Edward Island's, Yukon's and Nova Scotia's definitions say "singly or in combination", and British Columbia's says "in total". Under those definitions, two 500W motors make a 1,000W bike. Dual-motor bikes are in our dual-motor collection.
