Electric Motorcycle Parity Act of 2023

S 1779, the Electric Motorcycle Parity Act of 2023, expands the federal clean vehicle tax credit to include electric motorcycles and other vehicles with fewer than four wheels. It creates a $3,750 tax credit per qualifying vehicle acquired after December 31, 2022, for buyers purchasing electric motorcycles that meet specific requirements (e.g., capable of 45+ mph, manufactured for public roads, and meeting clean vehicle standards with adjusted battery requirements). The bill directly affects electric motorcycle buyers and manufacturers by extending the same tax incentive previously available only to four-wheeled electric vehicles. It amends the Internal Revenue Code to treat these smaller vehicles as "qualified clean vehicles" under the existing credit framework. This is a concrete policy change that lowers the cost of purchasing eligible electric motorcycles.
