New rules to make motorsycles safer and greener got the thumbs up from the European Parliament on November 20, 2012. They are to apply to all powered two- and three-wheel vehicles, from mopeds to heavy motorcycles, and also quads, as of 2016.
Under the new rules, antilock braking systems (ABS) will have to be fitted to all motorcycles that have an engine displacement greater than 125 cc, while ABS or combined brake systems (CBS) could be fitted to smaller ones (under 125 cc), including scooters.
