WOW- ?almost the same? -WOW
80cc gas motor versus skateboard. are you kidding?
Electric bicycles are covered by the MTO laws.
Up to 500 watt allowed, even from a kit. |
If you put a motor on your old skateboard does it now need to reg'd, plated and insured? Motor kits for skateboards are available just like they are for bicycles. You can also buy these things called
MotoSk8...roller blades with a motor attached, would you need to register, plate and insure them?
lol...the blades look quite cool actually...a claimed top speed of 25mph! I'd hurt myself on those I'm sure 
KW you are wrong in thinking a 500w electric motor kit is good to go. Legal power assisted bicycles in Ontario must comply with Canada's MVSR and
bear a permanently affixed label from the manufacturer that states in both official languages it does comply.
Here's a link to the HTA, please read it from start to finish...it will take you some time but it's a worthwhile read.
Highway Traffic Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8
A link to the Canada motor vehicle safety act.

Just in case you miss it at the above link here's the link to the MVSR.
