AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the Secretary of Transportation to issue regulations within 120 days of the law taking effect to change the federal definition of "motorcycle" in vehicle safety rules. Under the new definition, a motorcycle would be a motor vehicle, as originally manufactured, with a seat or saddle the rider sits astride, designed to travel on no more than three wheels touching the ground, and steered by handlebars. Acceleration and braking would have to be controlled by handlebar and foot controls, and the vehicle would have to be able to go faster than 30 mph.
