Correct answer
Yes.
According to the definition provided by the Traffic Regulations, a motorcycle is considered a motor vehicle because of its technical and operating characteristics. Although motorcycles clearly differ from cars, such as in the number of wheels and their open structure, they share key features that place them within the general category of motor vehicles. These features include: Motorisation: the motorcycle has an engine, either internal-combustion or electric, which allows it to move independently without being pushed or pedalled. Engine capacity: its engine has a capacity greater than 50 cm³ if it is an internal-combustion engine, indicating sufficient power-generating capacity to move the vehicle. Speed: by design, it can reach a maximum speed greater than 45 km/h, making it suitable for travelling on most public roads alongside other motorised vehicles. Because of these characteristics, a motorcycle fits the broad definition of a motor vehicle, namely a motorised vehicle designed for road transport.
