8711.60.00 - With electric motor for propulsion

This HTS classification, 8711.60.00, specifically covers motorcycles, mopeds, and cycles that are propelled by an electric motor, irrespective of whether they are equipped with a sidecar. This designation is distinct from other categories within heading 8711, which are primarily differentiated by the type of engine used. While sibling categories address vehicles powered by internal combustion engines of varying cylinder capacities, this code is exclusively for electrically powered variants.

The subcategories under 8711.60.00 further refine the classification based on the power output of the electric motor. The 8711.60.00.50 designation applies to electric motor-powered vehicles where the motor's output does not exceed 250 watts. Conversely, the 8711.60.00.90 "Other" category encompasses all electric motor-powered vehicles whose motor output exceeds 250 watts, providing a clear distinction for differing power capabilities within this electrically propelled segment.
