Question 5510

How many braking systems must motorcycles with a sidecar be equipped with?

  1. Two: one front and one rear, on the motorcycle only.
  2. Three: one front, one rear, and one on the sidecar.
  3. Two: one on the motorcycle and one on the sidecar.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Two: one front and one rear, on the motorcycle only.

Every motorcycle has two braking devices. One brakes the front wheel and the other brakes at least the rear wheel. With a sidecar, there are still two, both on the motorcycle, because the sidecar wheel is not required to have a brake.
