Euro 5 motorcycle emission requirements
« on: August 18, 2019, 06:57:31 AM »

Here is a long article regarding the impact that Euro 5 emission regulations will have on ICE motorcycles starting next year. This is quite a long article, but the part that may interest you is the paragraph under the heading "What about hybrids", about 3/4 of the way down the page.

Good find. The popularity of motorcycles in Europe has European regulations setting the western world's standard for what bikes are developed, and ultimately available to us in the US. With both Zero and H-D's new electric bikes getting a good response in the European press it gives these US manufacturers a leg up on their Japanese competition. That's a rare thing.
