VANCOUVER --
As electric-powered bikes become more popular and ubiquitous on the streets, more and more people may find themselves on the wrong side of the law because of confusion over which makes and models fall within provincial regulations.
The BC Court of Appeal recently handed down a 2-1 decision against a man fighting a pair of tickets he received for riding an electric bike that resembles a motorcycle on the road.
In July 2018, Aki Ghadban was cited in Surrey for driving without a license and driving without insurance.
His lawyer said Ghadban doesn’t have a driver’s license — one of the primary reasons he purchased the Motorino XMr electric bike in the first place.
