The Fed will probably in time adopt the definitions many states use. That is, if it has three wheels, a handlebar, and you straddle it, it's a motorcycle. If it has three wheels, a steering wheel, and you sit in a car like seat, it's an autocycle. Licensing, seat belt and helmet use, and driver's license requirements are different between the two categories.
