Motor vehicles under the Highway Traffic Act are vehicles on a highway that are powered by a motor rather than by the rider’s own muscular effort. A motorcycle fits this definition because it is engine-powered and designed for road use, so it’s classified as a motor vehicle. A bicycle is powered by human effort, not a motor, so it doesn’t meet the motorized criterion. A snow vehicle is designed for use on snow and is usually governed by different rules or acts, not the HTA’s motor-vehicle category. A farm tractor is engine-powered, but on-road regulatory treatment often falls under separate provisions and is not typically considered a motor vehicle within the HTA’s usual road-traffic definitions.
