Overview
This HTS category, 8711.60.00.50, specifically covers motorcycles, mopeds, and cycles equipped with an auxiliary electric motor for propulsion, where the motor's continuous output does not exceed 250 Watts. This wattage threshold is the defining characteristic for inclusion in this subcategory. These vehicles are designed for personal transportation and rely on electric power as their primary or supplementary means of propulsion.
The crucial distinction between this category and its sibling, 8711.60.00.90 ("Other"), lies in the specified motor output. While both pertain to vehicles with electric motors, category 8711.60.00.50 is narrowly defined by the 250 W limitation. Category 8711.60.00.90 would encompass electric-powered two-wheeled vehicles where the motor output exceeds this 250 W threshold or falls outside of any other specific electric motor classification within heading 8711.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under 8711.60.00.50 is final for electric-powered motorcycles, mopeds, and cycles meeting the specified 250 W output criterion. Examples would include certain lightweight electric scooters designed for urban commuting or electric bicycles that fall within this power range and are classified as cycles with an auxiliary motor.
