A new bill being pushed by the Ford government that would make most “power-assisted bicycles,” or e-bikes, illegal in Ontario is scheduled for a vote Friday.
Called the Moving Ontarians More Safely Act, or “MOMS” for short, the bill, which classifies e-bikes by wheel size and weight, would restrict e-bikes in Ontario to 50 kilograms and a wheel size of at least 35 millimetres wide (approximately one and a half inches) and 350 millimetres in diameter (approximately 14 inches).
