Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

To classify a two-wheeled vehicle, it is essential to distinguish between a moped (ciclomotor) and a motorcycle. According to General Vehicle Regulations, a motorcycle is any two-wheeled automobile (with or without a sidecar) that meets at least one of the following conditions: having an engine displacement exceeding 50 cubic centimeters (if internal combustion) or a maximum design speed exceeding 45 km/h. If the vehicle has 50 cc or less and does not exceed 45 km/h, it is considered a moped. The 125 cc option refers to the limit for the A1 license, not the basic definition of a motorcycle.
