Bill 118 s 1779, also known as the Electric Motorcycle Parity Act of 2023, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The main goal of this bill is to promote the use of electric motorcycles by providing incentives and support for their production and purchase.

By investing in innovation, the bill seeks to make electric motorcycles more competitive with traditional motorcycles in terms of performance and convenience. Overall, the Electric Motorcycle Parity Act of 2023 is a comprehensive piece of legislation that aims to support the growth of the electric motorcycle industry in the United States. By providing incentives for consumers, developing infrastructure, and promoting research and development, this bill seeks to make electric motorcycles a more viable and attractive option for riders across the country.
