Importing E-Bikes to Ontario — PAB Label Requirements
Ontario Regulation 369/09 + Transport Canada CAN/CSA · Province of Ontario
§The Law
O. Reg 369/09 + Transport Canada — Ontario Regulation 369/09 + Transport Canada CAN/CSA
“E-bikes imported from the United States or China that carry English-only compliance labels, or labels that do not include the French language designation, do not meet Ontario's bilingual label requirement under O. Reg 369/09.”
View official regulation text✓Plain English
Most e-bikes sold in the US have English-only labels and do not comply with Ontario's bilingual requirement out of the box. Retailers and individual buyers importing US e-bikes must attach a permanent bilingual PAB compliance label before the bike is ridden on Ontario roads.
