⚖ PRODUCT SPECIFICATION
Ontario Compliant | Made in Canada | 5+ year durability | Ships Today

Avoid serious legal liability with this permanently affixed bilingual label required under Ontario Regulation 369/09. Non-compliant e-bikes face $250–$2,000 fines, impoundment, and operational bans. This label ensures your fleet meets Highway Traffic Act requirements and passes MTO roadside inspections with zero compliance concerns.

MTO Inspection Warning
Highway 400, QEW, and Hwy 401 scale stations and OPP roadside patrols routinely inspect e-bikes. Without a valid bilingual compliance label, the vehicle cannot be classified as a power-assisted bicycle — it becomes an unregistered motor vehicle on the spot. Officers at MTO stations have impounded non-compliant units during commercial transport checks.

Frame Placement Guide

Affix to the downtube — the tube running from the headset down to the bottom bracket. This is the primary location MTO officers and OPP check for the compliance label.

  • Clean surface with isopropyl alcohol (90%+) and allow to dry fully
  • Peel backing and apply from centre outward, pressing firmly to eliminate air pockets
  • Do not apply over paint damage, rust, or uneven welds
  • Allow 24 hours cure time before washing the bike
Pro Tip for Dealers and Fleet Operators: MTO scale stations at Vineland (Hwy 8), Fort Erie (Hwy 3), and Port Hope (Hwy 2/115) are familiar with the O. Reg 369/09 label requirement. Dealers and fleet operators who transport e-bikes in cargo vehicles have been asked to produce compliance documentation at these checkpoints. Pre-label every unit before it leaves your facility.
