Frequently Asked Questions

What is a PAB compliance label?
A PAB (Power-Assisted Bicycle) compliance label is a permanent sticker affirming the bicycle meets Transport Canada's definition: motor ≤500W, speed ≤32 km/h on motor alone, functional pedals. Without it, police may treat your e-bike as an unregistered motor vehicle.
Is a PAB label legally required in Ontario?
Yes. To be classified as a bicycle (not a motor vehicle) under Ontario law, a power-assisted bicycle must have a manufacturer or importer compliance label affixed. Without it, you need a driver's licence, registration, and insurance.
Where do I place a PAB compliance label?
The label must be permanently affixed to the frame, in a location visible during inspection. Typically on the down tube or seat tube. It must not be removable without destroying the label.
What information must be on a PAB compliance label?
The label must state: manufacturer name, model, year, motor wattage (≤500W), maximum assisted speed (≤32 km/h), and a declaration of compliance with the Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations PAB definition.
