Good to know

• Its 750 W motor is above the 500 W limit for e-bikes in Ontario, Quebec, B.C. and Alberta, so it is sold for private-property use. See the rules by province.
• Range is the brand's figure; speed, hills, rider weight, tire pressure and cold all change it. How to estimate your range.
• Ships free anywhere in Canada (no P.O. boxes).
• Himiway does not recommend this bike for riders over 120 kg, even though the payload rating is 181 kg.
