More than 15 billion trips later, we’re building products to get people closer to where they want to be. By changing how people, food, and things move through cities, Uber is a platform that opens up the world to new possibilities.

Uber is available in more than 10,000 cities worldwide. Signing up is easy for most people. We welcome drivers from other parts of the driving industry, such as bus, truck, taxi, limo, catering, and commercial drivers.

*E-bikes must follow Toronto's traffic rules: The City of Toronto has bylaws that prohibit e-bikes from riding on the sidewalk. Heavier e-bikes (over 40 kg) are also prohibited from riding on multi-use paths and trails. Power-assisted e-bikes (the type that can be driven without pedalling) are prohibited from riding in physically separated bike lanes, and they can only be ridden on the road or in painted bike lanes. And e-scooters are actually totally prohibited from operating any public roads, sidewalks, bike paths, and trails.
All users of the Uber Eats platform, including e-bike couriers, are expected to follow the law. Failure to follow the law can result in losing access to the Uber Eats platform. You can learn more about the rules for e-bikes in Toronto here.
