It is a measure that has caused a stir and, above all, caused debate and discord. But after many months it became official: MOT will indeed be mandatory for two wheels. Indeed, although the government had until then refused to introduce this periodic inspection, which had already existed for many years for cars, the Council of State decided to take the opposite view. This is how the measure was finally enacted, much to the chagrin of scooter and motorcycle owners. The new commitment is supported by several associations such as Scoot Ras especially. But be careful, because this commitment has no date yet. A broad consultation will also be held tomorrow to clarify the contours of this much-hyped new law.

Two-wheeler inspection: reduced price
And among the main issues of the main stakeholders – v the question of price returns often. How much will this famous technical control, which is so condemned by two-wheel protection associations such as the FFMC and the French Federation of Bikers, cost? Nothing has been said yet. But there are already rumors that the price will be much lower than the price for a car. Indeed, then you will need to rely on the located fork from 50 to 70 euros per vehicle, i.e. twice as cheap for passenger cars. But so far nothing has been confirmed by the government, which appears to be in no rush to implement the measure. It will be recalled that this was initially planned for October last year.
There are few fines
Currently, the list of control points that will be checked during the operation is also not known. But as transport minister Clément Beaune explains, the aim is for this technical review to be ” minimum possible punishment for owners This is not enough to placate the bikers while the FFMC continues to fight against the measure and against the State Council, which it accuses of overstepping its authority. Suffice it to say, this case is far from over!
