Avoid serious legal liability with this permanently affixed bilingual label required under Ontario Regulation 369/09. Non-compliant e-bikes face $250–$2,000 fines, impoundment, and operational bans.

Highway 400, QEW, and Hwy 401 scale stations and OPP roadside patrols routinely inspect e-bikes. Without a valid bilingual compliance label, the vehicle cannot be classified as a power-assisted bicycle — it becomes an unregistered motor vehicle on the spot. Officers at MTO stations have impounded non-compliant units during commercial transport checks.

- Clean surface with isopropyl alcohol (90%+) and allow to dry fully
- Peel backing and apply from centre outward, pressing firmly to eliminate air pockets
- Do not apply over paint damage, rust, or uneven welds
