Hip-Ebikes Custom Shop has been retro-fitting bicycles with pedal-assist technology for over three years now. Our bikes are used by campers, urban commuters, athletes recovering from injury, people who have suffered cardiac events and seniors who want to maintain their health. If you like to bicycle, we sell the ability for you to travel further, more efficiently, with the piece of mind of knowing you'll always have the energy to make it home.

What is the ride like?

Hip-Ebikes ride like a normal bicycle with the ability to give you a helping hand on hills, over difficult terrain or when you're muscles are fatigued.

Engaging the mounted 37 volt battery via the hand throttle takes the natural muscle strain, commonly known as 'the work' and transfers it to the hub motor on the front tire.
The eZee hub motor carries small loads without putting extra muscle strain on the rider.

A Hip-Ebike is not an electric motorcycle. Pedaling is required.

What are the legal restrictions?

Rules vary from place to place but in Nova Scotia, the Motor Vehicle Act states that electric bicycles are still considered bicycles as long their
voltage does not exceed 500 watts (see Motor Vehicle Act).

Check the rules and regulations for your area by searching 'Power Assisted Bicycles'. No special insurance or permits are required to own or operate an electronic bicycle, however , CSA approved bicycle helmets must be worn at all times as per Canadian Law.
