  • Motorcycle, Moped and Motor Scooter Policy
    Motorcycle, Moped and Motor Scooter Policy Definition Mopeds and scooters are one and the same in the eyes of North Carolina's Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Mopeds and motor scooters are defined as a vehicle with two or three wheels with a motor of no more than 50 cubic centimeters of piston displacement and no external shifting device. Legally, a moped's top speed cannot exceed 30 mph on a level surface. Although some mopeds on the market have top speeds higher than the 30 mph limit, they are illegal for use in North Carolina. If a moped does not fit the above requirements, it must be registered as a motorcycle under North Carolina law. Parking Permit A parking permit is required for all motorized motorcycles, mopeds and motor scooters parking on the Wake Forest University Campus. o The cost of an annual on-campus parking permit is $50. o The cost of a permit is waived if a customer has already purchased an annual vehicle permit at regular price. Motorcycles, moped and motor scooters are required to be registered at the Parking and Transportation office, not on-line. Parking Designated moped and motor scooter parking areas are located in parking lots A, M and P. o Mopeds and motor scooters can also park in motorcycle spaces. Motorcycles can only park in designated motorcycle spaces, not moped / motor scooter spaces. Motorcycle spaces are located in lots G, H, J, L, P, Q, S, T, W-1, Z, and Jasper Memory Lane. Parking is authorized only in spaces marked by signs or ground markings.

    IR-PERPUSTAKAAN UNIVERSITAS AIRLANGGA CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of The Study Motorcycle is one of the vehicles rapidly developed, which users are getting higher. The motorcycle’s history was beginning in the late 19th century. This kind of vehicle is the next step of the “safety bicycle” which is the bicycle that have the same size wheel. The first invented motorcycle is a very simple concept. At that time, the engineers have an idea to combine a motorized machine to the bicycle frame. After the century changed to the 20th century, the innovation in motorcycle manufacturing began to spring, start from the frame, engines, shape of the body and added the fuel tank and gearboxes to the engines. However, at that time, the shape of the motorcycle still similar to the bicycle complete with the pedal itself. After 1920 or during the World War 1, the shape of motorcycle started to evolve, no longer with a bicycle-like shape and innovation in the engine continues with the large engine capacity or the number of cylinders. With the increasing number of years, many motorcycle brands have begun to emerge starting from Europe (German, British, and Italy) and America then continued to Japan and innovations on the development of motorbikes continued until now (Hunt, et al. 2015). The sales number of motorcycles is absolutely fluctuating. Nevertheless, the trend of this vehicle is also increasing time by time. The motorcycle more famous after the first motorcycle race was held and all the racer that join in the championship was a man.

  • Life Cycle Assessment on Electric Moped Scooter Sharing
    sustainability Article Life Cycle Assessment on Electric Moped Scooter Sharing Nora Schelte 1,*, Semih Severengiz 1 , Jaron Schünemann 1, Sebastian Finke 1, Oskar Bauer 1 and Matthias Metzen 2 1 Laboratory for Sustainability in Technology, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences, Bochum University of Applied Sciences, 44801 Bochum, Germany; [email protected] (S.S.); [email protected] (J.S.); sebastian.fi[email protected] (S.F.); [email protected] (O.B.) 2 e-bility GmbH, 53424 Remagen, Germany; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +49-234-32-10376 Abstract: Due to their small size and low energy demand, light electric vehicles (LEVs), such as electric moped scooters, are considered as a space efficient and eco-friendly alternative for mobility in cities. However, the growth of electric moped scooter sharing services raises the question of how environmentally friendly this business model is, considering the entire lifecycle. Due to the dynamic market and insufficient availability of public data on the business processes of sharing services only a few studies on the impact of shared electric mopeds are available. Especially there is a lack of research on the impacts of key operational logistic parameters of the sharing system. This paper aims to fill this gap by conducting a life cycle assessment using the example of an electric moped scooter manufactured and used in sharing services in Germany, based on different operating scenarios. The results show that e-moped sharing has a similar environmental impact on global warming potential, in terms of passenger kilometers, as public transport, especially if long product lifetimes as well as efficient operation logistics are realized.

  • An In-Depth Investigation Into Paediatric Motorcycle and Off-Road
    IRC-16-101 IRCOBI Conference 2016 An In‐Depth Investigation into Paediatric Motorcycle and Off‐Road Vehicle Crashes Christopher S Mulligan, Marijke Oomens, Bianca Albanese, Susan Adams, Julie Brown Abstract We are conducting a prospective in‐depth review of children aged 16 years and under who are admitted to any one of the three paediatric hospitals in the state of New South Wales, Australia, due to injuries caused by a crash on a powered off‐road vehicle or motorcycle. We aim to characterise crash circumstances, injury patterns and severity in order to identify priority targets for the development of injury prevention countermeasures. In this ongoing study, we have analysed 25 crashes, involving 22 males and 3 females between the ages of 4 and 16 years of age. Most riders were injured on purpose built off‐road motorcycles or quad bikes in the course of recreational riding or farm duties. Most crashes (n=19) occurred as a result of loss of control of the vehicle. A range of injuries to all body regions were observed. Injury severity varied, including 13 with minor injuries (Injury Severity Score (ISS) between 1‐9), 6 with moderate injuries (ISS 10‐15), 2 with severe injuries (ISS 16‐24) and 4 with critical injuries (ISS 25 or greater). Keywords motorcycle, off‐road vehicle, paediatric, quad bike I. INTRODUCTION Injury from trauma is the leading cause of death and injury among Australian children [1]. Injuries from the use of powered two, three and four‐wheeled vehicles are an important cause of injury in children. In Australia, and other developed countries, the majority of these incidents occur off‐road [2‐5].
