If its on the road in BC, it needs to be licensed with ICBC, unless you're a recent transplant from elsewhere. Exceptions exist for e-scooters and ebikes, but they also aren't technically allowed on open road.
ICBC's base insurance looks expensive, but it delivers better base insurance than most other places extended insurance.
It is also likely a matter of registration and safety.
Yeah, it is a funny sight. Unless you are another car on the road. Basically all the safety assists won't work with what is a glorified plastic dolley and you have someone whose head is basically at bumper level on even sane vehicles. Its similar to how good drivers actually slow down or veer into the oncoming traffic lane (assuming it is empty) when they are overtaking someone wobbling back and forth in the bike lane.
