Campaign regarding proposed EU Regulation on Type Approval and Market Surveillance of two and three-wheeled vehicles
A raft of issues emanating from Europe will have a profound effect on riders and the motorcycle industry generally. Some of these are driven by the EU Commission, like the new Type Approval and Market Surveillance Regulation that will see the introduction of compulsory ABS, the sealing of powertrains from the airbox, through the engine to the final drive (including the diameter and aspect ratio of the rear tyre), restrictions on the aftermarket industry, possible roadside checks by police or other government agencies to inspect emissions, detect owner ‘tuning’ and more.
