FIM Classification
Motorcycles propelled by the action of one wheel in contact with the ground.
GROUP | EXPLANATION |
Solo Motorcycles (A1) | Solo Motorcycles 2-wheeled vehicles making only one (1) track on the ground, and:
|
Scooters (A2) | Scooters A2 – CVT type/ A2 MGS type A scooter is a motorised 2-wheeled vehicle produced in large quantities by the original manufacturer with a minimum of 2000 units registered by the manufacturer and found in the manufacturers' and dealers' catalogues, available for the public market.
Scooter specification: A scooter must have its crankcase/ swing-arm constructed as one single, rigid unit. Its transmission must be by a continuous variation transmission (A2-CVT), or originally fitted with a manually operated gear selector (A2-MGS).
|
Automatic 50 cc (A3) | Automatic 50 cc / Moped 50 cc Motorcycles driven by an engine capacity of up to 50 cc and having an automatic transmission |
Motorcycles propelled by the action of two (2) wheels in contact with the ground.
GROUP | EXPLANATION |
|
Solo Motorcycles (A1) | (Cf. Category I, Group A1 above) |
|
Scooters (A2) | (Cf. Category I, Group A2 above) |
|
Automatic 50 cc (A3) | (Cf. Category I, Group A3 above) |
|
Sidecar (B1) | Motorcycles with a Sidecar Vehicles with three (3) wheels, making two (2) tracks on the ground, consisting of a motorcycle making one track, and a Sidecar for a passenger making the other. |
|
Permanent Sidecar (B2) | Vehicles with a permanent Sidecar Vehicles with three (3) wheels making two (2) or three (3) tracks on the ground in the direction of forward travel, with a permanently attached Sidecar forming a complete integral unit. If three tracks are made, the centre-line of the two tracks made by the motorcycle wheels must not be more than 75 mm apart. A track is determined by the longitudinal centre-line of each of the vehicle's wheels in the direction of forward travel. A passenger may not be carried. A ballast of 60 kg must be securely fixed to the Sidecar. |
|
Cycle-cars (B3) | Cycle-cars (FW or RW) 3-wheeled vehicles making three tracks on the ground forming a complete integral unit and having accommodation for a rider and a passenger. A cycle-car is a motorcycle with 3 wheels differing from a Sidecar in that 2 of the wheels are mounted on the same geometric horizontal axis. These may be on the front (FW) or rear (RW) of the vehicle and shall ensure the stability of the vehicle. The ‘space’ for a passenger can be by the side of the rider but not necessarily in the same frontal alignment. It can also be placed behind the rider. A passenger may not be carried. A ballast of 60 kg must be securely fixed to the Sidecar. Steering must be by handlebars with a minimum length of 500mm, or by a wheel with a minimum diameter of 300mm. If bodywork does not enclose the wheels, they must be protected by mudguards. |

|
|
Special vehicles propelled by the action of multiple wheels or track devices in contact with the ground but which are not covered by the conditions for Category I or II.
GROUP | EXPLANATION |
Special 2-wheeled Vehicles (C) | Special 2-wheeled Vehicles Vehicle where the rider’s position is in front or behind the engine, and the vehicle adopts a longer and lower ‘motorcycle’ profile. |
Special 3-wheeled Vehicles (D) | Special 3-wheeled Vehicles |
Snowmobiles (E) | Special 3-wheeled Vehicles |
Sprinters and Drag Bikes (F) | Sprinters and Drag Bikes (Dragsters) |
2-wheeled Quad Racers (G) | 2-wheeled Quad Racers Quad Racers – 2-wheel driven |
4-wheeled Quad Racers (H) | 4-wheeled Quad Racers Quad Racers – 4-wheel driven |
Electric Vehicles (J) | Electric Vehicles (Cf. Art. 2.16) |
Special vehicles not propelled by wheels in contact with the ground.
