Decarbonising transport is critical to ensuring that the UK meets its net zero commitment by 2050. All road vehicles have a part to play in this, including motorcycles. The Government recognises that transitioning some motorcycles to zero emission equivalents is challenging but welcomes the increasing zero emission sales we have seen in certain segments of the market. We will set out any plans to decarbonise motorcycles in due course.
