Motorcycles are already very fuel efficient. Ranging from 30 to 80 mpg. Their emissions are typically dirtier than a car or diesel truck. Less carbon but more nitrogen. Unfortunately catalytic converters haven't been too common on motorcycles. More recent models will have compact ones.
Well that's sort of why I was wondering. Saying "ICE vehicles must be eliminated by 2035" is different than "cars must be zero-emission by 2035."
Realistically, I know the answer - motorcycles never get a break for being smaller, lighter, or more fuel efficient.
