So far nothing has changed to affect the status of "power assisted bicycles". The bikes with cosmetic coverings, while resembling a scooter, are not scooters. If we dressed up a tricyle with similar coverings and made it look like a rocket ship, it would still be a tricycle that looks like a rocket ship. As long as they do not exceed 32km per hour, as long as the motor is 500 watt or less, as long as it is "capable" of being propelled by muscular power and a few other details, it is okay. As it sould be. A 6 year safe track record in BC must be worth something. One less car on the road even for a few months a year is giant leap for mankind.
