Heading 8711 : Motorcycles (including mopeds) and cycles fitted with an auxiliary motor, with or without side-cars; side-cars.
This heading covers a group of two-wheeled motorised vehicles which are essentially designed for carrying persons.
In addition to motorcycles of the conventional type, the heading includes motor-scooters, characterised by their small wheels and by a horizontal platform which joins the front and rear portions of the vehicle; mopeds, equipped with both a built-in engine and a pedal system; and cycles fitted with an auxiliary motor.
This heading also covers two-wheeled, electrically-powered transportation devices, designed for carrying a single person, for use within low speed areas such as pavements (sidewalks), paths, and bicycle lanes. Their technology allows the rider to stand upright while a system composed of gyroscope sensors and multiple onboard microprocessors maintains both the device's and rider's balance on two independent, non-tandem wheels.
Motorcycles may be equipped to protect the driver against the weather or be fitted with a side-car.
Three-wheeled vehicles (e.g., the delivery tricycle type) are also classified here provided they do not have the character of motor vehicles of heading 87.03 (see the Explanatory Note to heading 87.03).The heading further covers side-cars of all kinds, a type of vehicle which is designed for the transport of passengers or goods, and which cannot be used independently. They are equipped with a wheel on one side, the other side bearing fittings enabling the side-car to be attached to, and to travel alongside, a cycle or motorcycle. The heading excludes : (a) Four-wheeled motor vehicles, for the transport of persons, with tube chassis, having a motor-car type steering system (e.g., a steering system based on the Ackerman principle) (heading 87.03). (b) Trailers designed for attachment to a cycle or motorcycle (heading 87.16).
