surfnturf

is electric, gasoline or diesel, it doesn't count unless it is over 10 HP
or 7.5
KW in size. That also seems to indicate that Canada considers any type of
power
to be a "motor", but motors of any kind under a certain size don't count
any
way.

There is no "perhaps" about that. That is exactly the reason. Just as
with 48 and 49 ccm motorcycles. In most jurisdictions, you can drive
motorcycles with engines "less than 50 ccm" without motorcycle
endorsememtnt on your drivers licence.
