Mopeds and scooters in Canada: what they cost

Updated 31 October 2026

An electric scooter in Canada costs about CA$250 to CA$700, and an electric moped-style bike about CA$1,000 to CA$1,500. A gas scooter from a dealer starts near CA$2,500. These are approximate prices, according to sellers' websites, October 2026. For current offers, describe the vehicle you want in a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Licences, helmets and registration

Rules are set by each province, so check yours before you buy. Provincial sources say that mopeds and scooters must be registered, licensed and insured for road use in British Columbia, and that registration and helmets are mandatory in Quebec. Standard electric scooters up to 24 km/h and 500 W need no driver's licence, but riders must be at least 16 and wear a helmet. Most of them do not need mandatory vehicle insurance, though this depends on the province and municipality.

Season in Canada

October sits between summer and winter in Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa and Calgary. Winter runs from December to February and summer from June to August, so demand for scooters and mopeds is highest in the warm months. If you buy now, ask the seller for a spring delivery date, and arrange registration and insurance before your first ride.

How prices are quoted and delivered

Sellers quote one price per vehicle, in CA$, and list specifications in metric units: motor power in watts, speed in km/h, range in kilometres and battery in volts or amp-hours. Ask whether the price includes sales tax and delivery to your city. If you live outside the seller's city, for example in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary or Ottawa, ask for a shipping quote before you agree on the price.

What to put in your request

Name the type you want: electric scooter, electric moped or a gas scooter with its engine size. Add the model, the rider's age and licence class, the year and mileage if used, the condition, whether the registration papers are included, your budget and your city. These details let sellers answer with an exact price.
