I have done a little checking and here is what I have found the vehicles must be eligible for import the Transport Canada web site states for mini bikes and restricted use-motorcycles "the vehicle must bear an alpha-numeric vehicle identification number of no less than 14 and no greater than 17 digits which complies with the composition requirements of CMVSS 115" Which I believe means that the manufacturer must be listed with Transport Canada (just like the # on your car). They would also be subject to duty/excise tax/GST. I went through the voice mail trail with Customs but the bottom line is someone with all the information would have to call to get the duty/taxes required.

Can you drive these things on the road or sidewalk?

Looks like a cheaper way to get to work

Nope offroad use only, as they cant be registered. People drive them around the neighbourhood they are just considered as gas go peds but way quicker . O yea it does check out the mileage lol

Fuel Capacity: 0.5 US Gallon

Range: 35 Miles (Avg.)



"transport canada says a street legal bike must be at least 50 cc, have 10" wheels, and at least a headlight.

last i looked, pocketbikes had none of these features."

from pocketbikes.ca
