A motorcycle (also called a motorbicycle, motorbike, bike, or cycle) is a single-track, two-wheeled motor vehicle powered by an engine.

In most US states a motorcycle is a 2 or 3 wheeled vehicle that has an engine bigger than 50 cc. An engine of 50 cc or smaller qualifies as a moped or motorized bicycle(moped would normally not require a special driver license to operate on public streets). There have been many companies over the years that have sold 3 wheel cars that are street legal because they qualify as motorcycles (getting your car legally declared a motorcycle can allow manufacturers to get a product to market without going through the endless red tape of safety regulations, crash testing, etc.).
