About the Author
William Leishman
Founder & President, Scooteretti
William Leishman is the Founder and President of Scooteretti, one of Canada's leading electric bicycle retailers and a recognized authority in the eBike industry since 2010. As a member of the National Bicycle Dealers Association (NBDA) Advisory Board for eBike Safety, William plays a central role in shaping best practices and safety standards across North America, and is regularly featured on television, radio, print, and digital media as a trusted voice for consumers and industry professionals alike.
William's core mission is to educate Canadian consumers on choosing the right electric bicycle — one that truly fits their lifestyle, budget, and safety needs. As Canada's eBike market has exploded with new options, too many riders are purchasing the wrong bike, spending thousands across multiple purchases before finding a good fit. Scooteretti's "buy it once, buy it right" philosophy was built to solve exactly this problem, and it has helped thousands of satisfied customers make confident, informed decisions since 2010.
Beyond finding the perfect ride, William is on a personal mission to make eBike safety a national priority. He is a passionate advocate for making UL certification mandatory for every electric bicycle sold in Canada — a standard he believes every Canadian deserves, yet one that current legislation does not require. William is actively working to raise awareness among consumers and at all levels of government, because he firmly believes that no Canadian should have to risk their safety on an uncertified eBike. This isn't just a business position — it's a personal commitment he is dedicated to seeing become law.
