Buying e-scooters and hoverboards in Canada

Updated 4 November 2026

E-scooters and hoverboards in Canada cost about CA$120 for a basic hoverboard and CA$600 to CA$700 for a commuter electric kick scooter, with premium scooters above CA$1,100. These are approximate prices, according to sellers' websites in November 2026. For current offers in your city, create a request on BlaBlaPrice and it will look up what sellers have now.

Riding rules in your province

Rules vary across Canada, including where e-scooters can be ridden and parked, maximum speeds, helmet and age requirements, and whether a device is shared or private. In British Columbia a rider of an electric kick scooter must be at least 16, and no licence or insurance is needed. In Ontario riders must also be at least 16 and must stay standing, and anyone under 18 must wear a bicycle helmet. Local bylaws add their own limits, so check your city before you ride.

Safety marks to check

Look for UL 2272 on hoverboards and scooters, and UL 2849 on e-bikes. A certified unit has a physical holographic sticker on the device, so ask the seller for a photo of it before you pay.

When to ride

Winter runs from December to February and summer from June to August, so most riding happens in the warm months. A device bought in November 2026 will be ready for June, but store the battery indoors over the cold months, because cold weather affects lithium batteries.

How it is bought and what to write

Ask each seller which of Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary and Ottawa they deliver to, and whether the price includes delivery and tax. In the request, name the type first: hoverboard, kick scooter or electric moped. Then add the model if you know it, the range in kilometres, the motor power in watts, the rider's weight, whether the rider is a child or an adult, the wheel size in inches, your budget in CA$, and the delivery city.
