Serving Surrey from Vancouver

Electric bikes & scooters for Surrey riders

The biggest market we serve and the one with the longest trips. Surrey has not joined the provincial e-scooter pilot — so we will start with what you can legally ride, and what will cover the distance.

Our showroom and workshop are at 1199 Grant St. in Vancouver. There is no Surrey storefront — the Expo Line runs from Surrey Central and King George straight to Commercial–Broadway.

Why riders come to us

What Surrey riders get here

Surrey is bigger than anywhere else we serve, its trips are longer, and it is not currently part of the provincial e-scooter pilot. All three change what we would recommend.

About ProMechBC

The honest legal position first

Surrey has not joined the provincial e-scooter pilot, and e-scooters are not permitted on public roads, sidewalks or in parks there. If you want something to commute on legally today, that points at an e-bike — and we will say so before you buy.

Browse e-bikes

Range sized for a city this big

Newton to Guildford, Cloverdale to City Centre — Surrey trips are long by regional standards. Battery capacity, not power, is usually the spec that decides whether a machine works here.

Repairs done here, whatever you ride

Legal status has nothing to do with service. We diagnose, quote and repair e-bikes and e-scooters for Surrey customers exactly as we do for anyone else.

Book a repair

Pack rebuilds, not automatic replacements

Long-distance riding wears packs faster. We test cell groups and rebuild what is rebuildable, which on a big commuter battery is a serious saving.

Battery refurbishing

One SkyTrain line, no transfer

The Expo Line runs from King George and Surrey Central straight through to Commercial–Broadway — which makes a ride-and-train commute genuinely practical from North Surrey.

Getting here
Riding here

What riding in Surrey is actually like

Surrey is the largest and most spread-out place we serve, and the legal position on e-scooters here differs from most of its neighbours.

E-scooters not permitted

The e-scooter position in Surrey

Surrey is not a participating community in the provincial Electric Kick Scooter Pilot Project, and e-scooters are not permitted on public roadways, sidewalks or within parks. E-bikes are unaffected and legal everywhere a bicycle may go.

Not a participating community
An electric kick scooter is only lawful on a public road inside a community that has joined the provincial pilot. Surrey has not joined, and does not permit e-scooters on public roadways, sidewalks or within parks. City of Surrey · Electric Kick Scooter Pilot Project Regulation, BC Reg 247/2023
E-bikes are fully legal here
Up to 500 W continuous, 32 km/h, with working pedals and a rider of at least 16, a motor assisted cycle is a bicycle under provincial law — including on Surrey’s greenways and multi-use paths. Motor Assisted Cycle Regulation, BC Reg 64/2024
The rules change across the boundary
Burnaby, Coquitlam, Richmond, Vancouver and both North Vancouvers are participating communities. If part of your route crosses into one of them, the position there is different. Province of B.C. · participating communities list
Private property is always yours
The pilot governs public roads and paths. Riding on private property with the owner’s permission is not affected by it. BC Reg 247/2023
Helmet and minimum age on an e-bike
An approved helmet is required for every e-bike rider at every age, and a standard e-bike rider must be at least 16. Motor Vehicle Act s.184 · BC Reg 64/2024
Nothing to licence, register or insure
A legal e-bike needs no driver’s licence, registration or insurance in British Columbia. Motor Assisted Cycle Regulation, BC Reg 64/2024

Rules summarised from surrey.ca, www2.gov.bc.ca and reviewed 23 August 2026. Municipal bylaws change — confirm with the city before you rely on this, and tell us if you spot something out of date.

Trips here are simply longer

Surrey covers more ground than any other municipality we serve. Newton to Guildford, or Cloverdale to City Centre, is a serious ride by regional standards — the sort of distance where a small battery turns a good commute into a bad one.

Buy the bigger pack. See the e-bike range.

Flatter in the south, steep in the north

Newton, Cloverdale and much of the south are relatively gentle. North Surrey drops hard toward the Fraser, and Panorama Ridge is a genuine climb. Where you live in Surrey changes the motor you want more than in most cities.

The greenway network is the good news

Surrey has built an extensive greenway and multi-use path network, and a legal e-bike may use all of it. For a lot of Surrey riders that is the difference between commuting on arterials and commuting on something pleasant.

Ride-and-train works well from the north

From Surrey City Centre, Whalley and Guildford, riding to King George or Surrey Central and taking the Expo Line in is often quicker than either mode alone — and it is a direct run to Commercial–Broadway.

If that is your plan, folded weight matters. Ask us what folds well.

Getting here

From Surrey to the workshop

A direct Expo Line run, or about 35 minutes by car off-peak.

By SkyTrain

Expo Line from King George, Surrey Central, Gateway or Scott Road straight through to Commercial–Broadway — no transfer. From there it is a short distance north-west toward Clark Drive.

Expo LineNo transferCommercial–Broadway

By car

Highway 1 west over the Port Mann and out at Cassiar, or the Pattullo and Highway 1. Allow about 35 minutes off-peak from Surrey City Centre, longer from Cloverdale or South Surrey. Street parking out front.

City Centre ~35 minHighway 1Free street parking

Dropping off a repair

Surrey is one of the longer trips in, so message or call first — we can confirm the part is in stock and usually complete the work while you wait instead of asking you to come twice.

Coverage

Surrey neighbourhoods we see riders from

Most of our Surrey customers come from Surrey City Centre and Whalley, where the Expo Line makes a ride-and-train commute into Vancouver genuinely quick, and from Guildford and Fleetwood along the northern corridor. Newton riders tend to be covering the longest daily distances of anyone we serve.

We also see riders from Cloverdale and Clayton out east, from South Surrey and Panorama Ridge in the south, and from Port Kells near the Fraser. Wherever in Surrey you are, the first conversation is usually about range — and about what is legal to ride where you live.

Questions

Surrey e-bike & e-scooter FAQ

No, not on public property. Surrey has not joined the provincial Electric Kick Scooter Pilot Project, and an electric kick scooter is only lawful on a public road inside a participating community. Surrey does not permit e-scooters on public roadways, on public sidewalks, or within parks. They remain legal in neighbouring participating communities including Burnaby, Coquitlam, Richmond, Vancouver and both North Vancouvers, and riding on private property with permission is unaffected.

I drove all the way from Seattle to bring my daughter's scooter to ProMechBC and I could not be more pleased with both the repairs and the customer service. I will definitely be bringing the scooter North of the border when it needs some love. Thank you so much for all of the help!

Recently had an accident with my Apollo Go — luckily nothing major was damaged, but it still needed some repair and replacement parts. Service was great, and I got my scooter back within a week. :D
