I think a recumbent with an aeroshell and a 500w motor would be pretty slick - and within the regulations.

The other good news announced just before the e-bike thing is that they're also looking at permitting NEV's on the road. Currently running a pilot project.

Ontario's definitely NOT pioneers in either category: 40+ US states already permit NEVs on roads below 30 mph(ish), and several other CDN provinces already permit e-bikes.
