Do I need to register or insure the electric tricycle in Quebec?
No. For use on private farm property, no registration, license, or insurance is required. It's considered a low-speed utility vehicle and is legal for non-public, on-farm use.
Can I use it on rural roads or public streets?
Not recommended. This trike is not street-legal in Ontario. It’s designed for use on private land, farm lanes, and internal transport—not public highways or roads.
How is the vehicle delivered within Quebec?
We offer free shipping across Quebec if you choose the partially assembled option for self-setup. If you prefer a fully assembled unit delivered as a complete machine, an additional $300 delivery fee applies. Please contact us to confirm availability and exact costs for your location.
Is the electric tricycle expensive to maintain?
Not at all. The tricycle uses an electric motor, so there’s no fuel, oil changes, or complex engine parts. With basic battery care and tire checks, most owners find maintenance minimal and predictable.
