I know this is a really dead thread and further to that it's my first post, but, I'm hoping Mark from Victoria still exists, because I'm also in Victoria, BC and have some questions!

Who did the motor vehicle inspection (location)? Who is your insurance provider or do you go to ICBC directly. Is your bike classified as a moped (low speed motorcycle)?

I'm currently in progress on my first build here and hope to have my bike meet all standards of the Motor Vehicle Act and pass inspection to be registered an LSM in BC as well. Any help would be most appreciated!

Check the I.C.B.C. web site and then call I.C.B.C. in Victoria. It will save you the money you'll need to buy an electic motor and battery. I suggest Justin at ebikes.ca

hello praxist.im not riding that bike anymore,liscensing kinda took the fun out of blasting around on a motoredbike so off the registration went.i have alot of paperwork showing some critical info on statutes or acts.

i see people buzzin around all the time not registered.but if you want it that way its alot of work,they even have a new category under insurance for these types of vehicles.i never even got pulled over on my registered bike,and i was trying trust me.ha good luck and pm me your number and we can talk if youd like.

Please tell more about this special category for insuring these bikes.

Yes, I was wondering the same thing. I went through it with I.C.B.C. for the better part of a week with the help of my insurance company and they said not a chance.
