...(e) bears a label that is permanently affixed by the manufacturer and appears in a conspicuous location stating, in both official languages, that the vehicle is a power-assisted bicycle as defined in this subsection, and .......
That's it. I'm pretty sure they mean no label = not legal.
Makes sense?
No!
That's what makes me think that is indeed what they mean - it's a
Canadian law, so if it doesn't make sense that's probably the way it is
Anybody know of a place that prints quality stickers in small quantity's?
I saw a "sample label" somewhere, I think that's what we need (how kind of them to put a picture of one online).....
I imagine a worst case scenario like this (at least where I live):
Officer: Where did you get that sticker? Only e-bikes are supposed to have those!
Me: Your kidding?! It came with with the engine kit. There was a note that said "Valued customer please kindly use sticker affix to bike must be on to be legal in Canada". It also came with a sticker for the US but I threw that one out, not planning to ride my bike down to the states Officer.
Officer: Well a sticker doesn't make it legal! Where did you get the kit?
Me: Ebay, I think it shipped direct from Hongkong, might be wrong, sorry it's been a while, never using ebay again it's one big scam, everything is sub par quality.
Officer: Oh... Well it's not legal sir, the motor vehicle act states that............ I better not see you on that thing again or you will face charges, now push that thing back home!
Me: Certainly officer! So sorry, I didn't know....
Of course this would be a tad risky, but what are we to do?
You guys really think that a petition wouldn't help? I remember signing a petition (about a year ago) not to let some criminal of local significance out on parole (don't even know who the guy was) and to my knowledge (word of mouth) they didn't let him out thanks to that! Surely if a petition can be used for that it could be used for a
harmless cause such as making MB's legal....
