## Resource

Toronto’s rush to regulate e-bikes and mini-motorcycles hits a snag as city council stalls on real action, opting instead for more reports and provincial hand-offs. Advocates at A Better City push for licensing, insurance, and clear distinctions between electric bikes and motorcycles — a stance echoed by some councillors, including Brad Bradford, whose eight-point plan sparked rare bipartisan agreement. Yet, concrete steps remain scarce, with the province poised to act — but ABC Toronto insists the city must lead. Meanwhile, Bradford’s ideas on rider education and Quebec-style design bans found some traction. As the October election looms, ABC Toronto zeroes in on three priorities: safety, affordability, and traffic — demanding bold leadership from Toronto’s political class.
