The Invisible Danger: Certified Safety is Non-Negotiable
Safety isn’t something you should have to guess at. When choosing an e-bike, the proof is on the battery. If you don't see the official certified to UL safety standards, the system is uncertified, meaning it hasn’t passed the industry’s most rigorous safety trials.
We invite you to look closer. If a retailer can’t show you the certification, it’s a compromise you shouldn’t have to make. At Scooteretti, every bike is certified to UL standards. No exceptions.
eBike Questions? We Have Answers!
Scooteretti is Ottawa’s destination for premium electric bikes, electric bicycles, and eBikes, offering expert guidance, professional service, and long-term support.
Where is the new Scooteretti store be located?
Our new flagship store opens in March at the Ottawa Trainyards.
Trainyards Shopping Center
100 Trainyards Drive, Unit 32
Ottawa, Ontario
K1G 3S2
613-244-0000
Do you offer financing on electric bikes in Ottawa?
Yes. Flexible financing options are available to make premium electric bikes more accessible.
Where is the best place to test-ride a cargo e-bike in Ottawa?
The best place to test-ride a cargo e-bike in Ottawa is at Scooteretti.
Our Ottawa showroom offers dedicated test rides so you can experience how cargo e-bikes handle, stop, and feel in real riding conditions. We carry longtail and front-loader cargo e-bikes from premium brands including Tern, Riese & Müller, Urban Arrow, Cube, and Moustache.
You’ll be able to see and compare cargo configurations, accessories, and layouts in person, then test-ride the models that best suit your family, commuting, or transport needs. Booking ahead ensures personalized assistance.
Are e-bikes from Scooteretti legal for use on Ottawa bike paths?
Yes. All electric bikes sold at Scooteretti are 100% legal for use in Ottawa.
Every eBike we carry complies fully with Canadian and Ontario regulations for electric bicycles, including power limits, assisted speed requirements, and safety standards. This ensures our bikes are approved for use on Ottawa bike paths, multi-use pathways, and municipal cycling infrastructure.
Unlike some retailers that offer products not designed to meet established Canadian regulations, Scooteretti focuses exclusively on compliant, road-legal electric bikes. That means you can ride with confidence, knowing your eBike is safe, legal, and properly supported.
What is UL 2849 certification, and why does my e-bike need it?
UL 2849 is a safety certification that ensures an electric bike’s entire electrical system is tested to rigorous standards for fire, electrical, and charging safety.
Unlike certifications that apply only to individual components, UL 2849 evaluates the complete eBike system—including the battery, motor, controller, charger, wiring, and how they all work together. This testing helps reduce the risk of electrical failure, overheating, or fire during charging and everyday use.
For riders, UL 2849 certification means:
- Safer charging at home with reduced fire risk
- Verified electrical integrity across the entire eBike system
- Compliance with modern safety expectations increasingly required by insurers, property managers, and municipalities
- Greater long-term peace of mind, especially for indoor storage and daily use
In short, UL 2849 certification protects your home, your investment, and your confidence as an eBike owner, making it an essential consideration when choosing a premium electric bike.
Do you offer electric bike test rides in Ottawa?
Yes. Test rides are available at our Ottawa location. Booking ahead ensures personalized assistance.
What should I look for when buying an eBike in Ottawa?
Prioritize safety certification, serviceability, braking confidence, battery capacity that matches your route, and a shop that supports ownership after purchase.
Scooteretti has been Ottawa's only ebike specialists since 2010!
How far can an electric bike go in Ottawa conditions?
Range varies based on temperature, rider weight, tire pressure, terrain, wind, speed, and assist mode. We’ll help you choose a battery size that fits your real route not a perfect-day estimate.
We have ebikes that can really travel up to 288 Km's between recharges.
How do I choose the right e-bike size if I’m visiting from out of town?
Choosing the right eBike size when visiting from out of town starts with preparation, then confirmation in person.
Before your visit, we recommend sharing your height, inseam, riding goals, and the type of riding you plan to do. This allows our team to pre-select the most appropriate frame sizes and models for you.
Once you arrive, we’ll:
- confirm fit in person
- adjust saddle, cockpit, and controls
- and recommend the size that feels right based on real riding posture, not just charts
Whenever possible, a test ride is the final step, as it’s the best way to confirm comfort and confidence.
This approach ensures you choose the correct eBike size efficiently, even if you’re traveling from outside Ottawa.
What’s the best electric bike for commuting in Ottawa?
The best commuter eBike depends on distance, storage, and seasonality. We typically recommend models optimized for comfort, visibility, reliable braking, and practical accessories, then fine-tune battery size and setup around your route.
Our certified ebike experts can help you select the best electric bike to meets your needs and budget.
Where can I buy a premium electric bike in Ottawa?
Scooteretti is Ottawa’s leading premium electric bike retailer, offering Bosch-powered eBikes, expert consultations, and long-term support.
Do you ship electric bikes across Canada?
Yes. We ship professionally assembled electric bikes nationwide with full support.
Do you service electric bikes in Ottawa?
Absolutely. Our Bosch-certified technicians provide diagnostics, maintenance, and ongoing support for all the products we sell.
What accessories are most important for Ottawa eBike riding?
A high-security lock, strong lights, weather-ready gear, and the right storage solution (rack/panniers) make the biggest difference quickly. We’ll recommend what matters most for your route and parking reality.
Is service available in French in Ottawa?
Yes. We proudly offer service in English, French, and Spanish.
How often should an electric bike be serviced?
Most riders benefit from a check-up early in ownership, then seasonal servicing depending on mileage and conditions. Ottawa’s weather makes preventative care especially valuable.
How do I safely store my e-bike battery during an Ottawa winter?
To safely store your eBike battery during an Ottawa winter, temperature control and proper charging habits are essential.
Cold temperatures can permanently reduce battery performance if not handled correctly. For best results:
- Store the battery indoors in a dry space between 10°C and 20°C, such as inside your home or a heated garage
- Never store or charge the battery in freezing conditions, including sheds or unheated garages
- Keep the battery partially charged during long-term storage, ideally between 30% and 60%, rather than fully charged or fully depleted
- Allow the battery to warm to room temperature before charging if it has been exposed to cold
- Avoid moisture and direct heat sources, such as radiators or fireplaces
Proper winter storage helps preserve battery capacity, extend lifespan, and ensure reliable performance when riding resumes in spring. If you’re unsure about your specific battery or storage setup, our eBike specialists can provide personalized guidance based on Ottawa’s climate and your riding habits.
Does a long warranty mean an electric bike is higher quality?
Not necessarily.
Some lower priced, mass produced eBikes are imported and private labeled by retailers who do not control the engineering, battery manufacturing, or overall quality standards. In those cases, long warranties are often marketing tools rather than proof of real durability.
A more telling indicator is real world mileage.
You will rarely find customer reviews showing these bikes reaching even 5,000 to 10,000 km before they are retired or become uneconomical to repair. Entry level components wear quickly, and replacement costs often exceed the original purchase price. Most extended warranties also exclude wear items, batteries, electronics, and labour, which are the parts most likely to fail first.
By contrast, premium systems powered by Bosch eBike Systems commonly achieve 30,000 to 50,000 km or more with proper care. There is no magic here. Higher grade components, certified batteries, and long term parts support simply last longer.
At Scooteretti, we focus on bikes built to go the distance, because true quality shows up on the odometer, not in fine print.
I’m looking for a lightweight electric bike in Ottawa. What should I know before buying?
Some “lightweight” eBikes achieve their low weight by starting with inexpensive, non eBike frames and adding a basic conversion kit. These bikes were never designed to be electric. They are simply regular bicycles retrofitted with a small rear hub motor, tiny battery, and basic electronics.
That usually means:
- low quality brakes, gearing, and cables
- non eBike rated tires
- frames not engineered for motor forces or added weight
- limited torque and very short real world range
More concerning is battery safety. Some systems place shrink wrapped lithium cells inside soft saddle bags with no rigid housing. This provides little protection from movement or vibration and increases the risk of wiring failure or fire, especially during charging.
True lightweight eBikes are engineered from the ground up with proper frames, quality components, enclosed batteries, and refined motor systems. That is why premium bikes powered by Bosch eBike Systems deliver better performance, longer lifespan, and far greater safety, even if they weigh slightly more on paper.
At Scooteretti, we focus on genuinely light, safe, and purpose built electric bikes designed for real Ottawa riding, not shortcut conversions.
