Federal rules for what counts as a motorcycle would be updated.
This bill would update the official federal definition of a motorcycle. This change would affect the Department of Transportation, motorcycle manufacturers, and people who own or ride motorcycles by clarifying vehicle classifications. The new definition would require a rider to sit astride, have handlebars, foot and handlebar controls, and be able to go over 30 mph, on no more than three wheels.
Today, federal rules define a 'motorcycle,' but the specific details of that definition are not outlined in this bill. If this bill passes, the federal definition of 'motorcycle' would be updated to include specific requirements like having a seat for astride riding, handlebars, foot and handlebar controls, no more than three wheels, and the ability to reach speeds over 30 miles per hour.
