Question 3960

A two-wheeled vehicle that, by design, can reach a maximum speed greater than 45 kilometers per hour is...

  1. a motorcycle.
  2. a moped.
  3. a bicycle.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: a motorcycle.

A two-wheeled vehicle with a motor and a maximum design speed over 45 km/h is a motorcycle, even if its engine displacement does not exceed 50 cm³. Exceeding either of the two moped limits—speed or engine displacement—is enough. A moped cannot exceed 45 km/h, and a bicycle is powered by pedals.
