Canada is no stranger to the silver screen. With its vast landscapes, urban skylines, and picturesque towns, it has played host to countless blockbuster films and TV series. But what happens when you combine Canada’s cinematic charm with the raw speed and agility of the world’s fastest e bike? You get a high-octane adventure that’s equal parts film history and jaw-dropping stunt performance. Welcome to “Canada on Wheels”, where we ride through iconic film locations on an ultra-fast e-bike, pushing the limits of what’s possible on two wheels.
The Fastest E-Bike: A Game-Changer for Stunt Riding
Electric bikes have come a long way, but the latest generation of high-performance e-bikes is rewriting the rulebook. Some models now boast top speeds exceeding 60 mph (100 km/h), powered by cutting-edge motors, lightweight frames, and intelligent suspension systems. These aren’t just commuter bikes with a battery—they’re machines built for thrill-seekers.
What makes these e-bikes perfect for stunts? It’s the instant torque, precise handling, and quiet motors. Riders can accelerate with blistering speed and perform jumps, wheelies, and drifts with surgical control. Best of all, they do it without the noise pollution of traditional motorbikes—ideal for shooting in sensitive film locations without disturbing the peace.
Rolling Through Hollywood North
Our journey begins in Vancouver, British Columbia—Canada’s own Hollywood North. This bustling city has been the backdrop for films like Deadpool, X-Men, and Rise of the Planet of the Apes. The city’s downtown, bridges, and industrial areas are perfect for high-speed urban stunts.
On our first ride, we launch off the iconic Cambie Street Bridge, a location seen in many Marvel films. The e-bike’s advanced suspension absorbs the landing like a pro, and its powerful brakes bring us to a safe stop as we dodge imaginary explosions and villain chases. With GoPros and drones capturing every second, it feels like we’re starring in an action movie ourselves.
Scenic Speed in Banff
Next, we take things to the mountains—Banff National Park, Alberta. While known for its serene beauty, Banff has also been featured in films like The Revenant and Inception. Here, the terrain shifts from city streets to rugged trails and winding mountain paths.
Our e-bike handles it all with ease. Sharp turns, steep climbs, and rocky descents are no match for its all-terrain tires and powerful motor. A highlight? Riding along Lake Louise, with snow-capped peaks reflecting in crystal-clear waters, pulling off a perfect stoppie (nose wheelie) for the camera. It’s the kind of shot that would make any director proud.
Montreal: French Vibes, Fast Rides
In Montreal, Quebec, we explore the city’s Old Port and cobblestone streets, reminiscent of European cities. This city has hosted shoots for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and X-Men: Days of Future Past. The contrast of old-world architecture and futuristic e-bike tech creates a unique visual style.
Stunt-wise, the challenge here lies in the narrow alleys and sudden turns. But with the bike’s agile frame and responsive throttle, we glide through obstacles and even jump over a few staircases—getting some epic slow-motion footage that blends art and adrenaline.
Toronto: The Urban Jungle
Toronto, Ontario, is Canada’s most filmed city. Known for doubling as New York, Chicago, and even Tokyo, it’s been featured in Suicide Squad, The Shape of Water, and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. The city’s towering buildings and underground tunnels create a playground for e-bike stunts.
Here, we race through Union Station, zoom past the CN Tower, and even pull off a dramatic slide across the slick pavement near Nathan Phillips Square. A favorite moment? Recreating the infamous Scott Pilgrim scene—on an e-bike, of course—with stunt choreography and a bit of CGI magic.
Safety and Sustainability in the Spotlight
While the stunts are thrilling, safety remains our top priority. All rides are planned with professional stunt coordinators and medics on standby. Riders wear full gear, including helmets, pads, and gloves, and use remote communication to stay synced with the film crew.
Moreover, the e-bike’s electric motor means we’re reducing carbon emissions while filming. Compared to gas-powered stunt bikes, this setup is not only quieter but also more sustainable—an important factor as the film industry aims to reduce its environmental footprint.
Behind the Scenes: A Cinematic Love Letter to Canada
More than just a stunt video, Canada on Wheels is a tribute to the country’s cinematic legacy. Each location is introduced with clips from famous movies filmed there, creating a nostalgic connection for viewers. Directors and crew members also share stories about why these places were chosen for filming—and how the e-bike brought a fresh perspective to each scene.
Final Thoughts
Canada on Wheels is more than a high-speed stunt showcase. It’s a thrilling journey through Canada’s film heritage, powered by cutting-edge electric technology. Whether you’re a film buff, an adrenaline junkie, or just someone who loves seeing the world in a new way, this project delivers an unforgettable ride.
So buckle up—well, helmet on—and join us as we race across the big screen, one epic e-bike stunt at a time.
