All-terrain electric bikes are built to handle whatever surface you throw at them — gravel, dirt trails, wet pavement, and everything in between — making them ideal for Canadian riders who refuse to be limited by road conditions.
What defines an all-terrain e-bike?
All-terrain e-bikes combine mid-fat or wide tires (2.2"–3.0"), front suspension or full suspension, and motors with 60+ Nm of torque to handle mixed riding conditions. They sit between a road e-bike and a dedicated mountain e-bike in terms of capability and comfort.
What motor wattage do I need for all-terrain riding?
For mixed terrain in Canada — including gravel rail trails, forest roads, and packed dirt — a 500W hub motor or mid-drive motor provides sufficient torque for most riders. Heavier riders or those tackling steep terrain should consider 750W options. Browse our eBike conversion kits to upgrade an existing bike.
Are all-terrain e-bikes street legal in Canada?
Models rated at 500W or less and limited to 32 km/h are classified as power-assisted bicycles under Canadian federal regulation and require no licence or insurance. Higher-wattage models may be restricted to off-road or private property use.
Do all-terrain e-bikes qualify for the BC PST exemption?
Complete e-bikes — including all-terrain models — sold as assembled, rideable bicycles qualify for BC's PST exemption on eligible purchases, saving 7% instantly at checkout.
How do all-terrain e-bikes compare to electric mountain bikes?
E-MTBs are purpose-built for technical singletrack with full suspension and aggressive geometry. All-terrain e-bikes are more versatile daily riders suited to mixed use — commuting Monday, gravel trail on weekends. See our electric mountain bike collection for dedicated trail options.
