City of Toronto will have to come up with a solution to this...if owners have certified bikes this shouldn't be a problem...very easy to register the bike, and give evidence that it is certified...

I gotta wonder though...can this be sidestepped by just having an e-bike with a removal battery?
An e-bike without a battery is just a bike (not banned)
A battery without an e-bike is just a batter (also not banned)

"We need to get people out of their cars into new alternatives!"
How about this emissions free electric scooter Mayor?
"That sounds like a great thing to BAN"

@mattgurney your city is lame.

What is the reasoning behind banning them as opposed to requiring appropriate safety gear and requiring them to follow the same rules as e-bikes?

Typical. Everyone wants and expects us to be more environmentally conscious.. Use less gas, build 15 min communities, but then restrict how we can get around.. You CAN use those in Edmonton, IF YOU USE the ones the city gets a cut of.
So dumb.
Stop babysitting people, go to work

this is the new face of transportation, instead of banning them, adapt and find a way for people to use them safely. Especially when the cost of owning a car is increasingly expensive and bad for the environment. Especially when you also will not fund transit

These are wonderful Green affordable vehicles that reduce traffic congestion too
TO needs to find a way to adopt them safely

Why is an e-bike any different? Just grow up and let people ride em? it’s not like there is enough roadway for bikes 🚲 and 🏍️ anyway.
ScootTO retweeted
I don’t understand this
Wouldn’t this help with the “cars cause pollution” messaging?
It’s cheap and affordable transportation around cities.
The other issue is how people ride them, but banning them seems to go against the political mantra.

How about going after the food delivery dudes riding heavy mopeds in the bike lanes?
Hassling commuters using scooters ain’t it fam

First it was the "War Against the Car"
Now it's the "War Against the Scooter"
Really it's just "The War Against Free Transportation"
They don't want you to be able to move around freely.
They want to force you onto the busses, streetcars and Subway that are always late and filled with violent crazy Drugs Addicts!!
This is Olivia "CCP" Chow.

It’s a shame that @cityoftoronto can’t regulate electric rides due to lack of infrastructure; instead of providing it, they ban them! Not much expected when police still use horses—fits this city.
