Question 4676

Is a motorcycle considered a motor vehicle (automóvil)?

  1. Yes.
  2. Yes, if it is over 125 cc.
  3. Yes, because it is a vehicle that moves under its own power.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes.

Yes. By law, this category (automóvil) covers motor vehicles designed to carry people or things, and a motorcycle meets that definition regardless of its engine displacement, so 125 cm³ makes no difference. Moving under its own power is not the reason either, because a moped or an agricultural tractor also moves under its own power and does not fall into this category.
