Motor-drive cycle vs Motorcycle

Know the difference between a motor-driven driven cycle and a motorcycle?

Signage on the onramp to I-5 says motor-driven prohibited but does that mean motorcycles? Isn’t a motorcycle a motor-driven cycle?

According to the California Highway patrol (CHP) we have motorcycles, motor-driven cycles, mopeds (motorized bikes, ), motorized scooters, and motorized skateboards. See the CHP page Then there is the new federal law that preempts state law and governs motorized bikes with 1HP or less and 25mph maximum unassisted speed. The law provides that such bikes are governed by the Consumer Product Safety Commission and not to be considered motor vehicles. See About Federal Electric Bike Law
