Under the General Vehicle Regulations, does a motorcycle belong to the Spanish legal category “automóvil”?

Correct answer

Yes, although it is not a passenger car.

Yes, under Annex II of the General Vehicle Regulations. The Spanish legal category “automóvil” is broader than passenger car and includes motorcycles with or without sidecars. A vehicle moving under its own power is not alone sufficient to make it an “automóvil”: the definition has exclusions. A motorcycle with a sidecar has three asymmetrically arranged wheels; symmetric three-wheeled vehicles have a different definition.
