It is Illegal in Ontario to carry a Passenger
**********************************

Motorino introduced the XPn; the second MOTORINO to feature an elegant vintage aesthetic. It is designed to comfortably accommodate a rider and passenger

Joshua, this has come up here before:

Your statement is true for mopeds (motor-assisted bicycles) as:
Motor assisted bicycle passengers
(3) No person driving a motor assisted bicycle shall carry any other person thereon.

but from the definitions:
“bicycle” includes a tricycle, a unicycle and a power-assisted bicycle but does not include a motor-assisted bicycle;

...where power-assist are lumped into the "bicycle" classification, and for bicycles:
Bicycle passengers
(2) No person riding on a bicycle designed for carrying one person only shall carry any other person thereon.

So clearly, for pedal bikes (including power-assisted bikes), if the vehicle is *designed* to carry two persons it is OK!
