If the label is for an e-bike, leave out the displacement. E-bikes don't have displacement. That is in reference to a gas motor. Displacement is is the volume swept by all the pistons inside the cylinders of an internal combustion engine. Also, this label is no good for use on a gas scooter. It is an e-bike compliance label only. E-bike motors do not have cylinders or pistons. Also, you do not have to put the speed on the label. If it complies with CMVSA Part 2(1) that is automatic.
Thanks for the input Veloteq, but my version of the label is NOT for an e-bike, nor for a gas scooter... It is for a GAS ENGINE POWERED MOTORIZED BICYCLE (hence the cc's), isn't that kind of what this thread is about? I am aware that that label is for "e-bike compliance", I am also aware that the label WILL NOT make the bike legal in any way, nor is putting a label like that on the bike legal, so no need to repeat that. The purpose of the label is to make the bike
appear legal in the event that a police officer ever questions the bicycles legality, example:
Officer: That's a motor assisted cycle? With a gasoline engine? Can I see the compliance label please?
Me: Certainly officer, right here on the tube...
Officer: Thank you.
Of course this is a "best case" scenario based on the assumption that the officer isn't
too well informed on MAC's (like the police in my town seem so far, even our "notorious" lady cop smiled and waved at me the last time she saw me buzzing around...). This obviously wouldn't work in an area where MB'ers have already had run-ins with the law, and potentially could get you in a lot of trouble, but hey....what's a guy to do if he rides a GASOLINE ENGINE POWERED MOTORIZED BICYCLE? If your answer is "don't ride it you risk prosecution buy a labeled 500watt electric in wallmart" then please don't bother...
Sorry I don't mean to be even remotely hostile Veloteq, on the contrary I appreciate the input of somebody as knowledgeable of canadian laws as you are. It's just that this whole situation is rather depressing, and just writing not legal not legal not legal doesn't help, we need to either change laws or find ways around them....
Thanks Veloteq for the mention that the maximum speed doesn't have to be on the label, I will take that off and leave only the cc rating...
