Council Directive 93/14/EEC (repealed)Show full title

Council Directive 93/14/EEC of 5 April 1993 on the braking of two or three-wheel motor vehicles (repealed)

2.2.Provisions relating to tests of vehicles of which (at least) one of the braking devices is a combined braking system
2.2.1.For the purposes of the type-I residual performances test on motorcycles (with or without sidecar) and tricycles, the recorded performance levels in terms of stopping distance, mean fully developed deceleration, as well as the control force used, are recorded.
2.2.2.Test speed V = 40 km/h(1) for mopeds.

Test speed V = 60 km/h(1) for motorcycles (with or without sidecar and tricycles.

2.2.3.The vehicle is tested both unladen and laden.
2.2.3.1.Braking with the combined braking system only
CategoryStopping distance (S)(in m)Corresponding mean developed deceleration(in m/s2)
MopedsS ≤ 0,1.V + V2/1154,4
Two-wheel motorcyclesS ≤ 0,1.V + V2/1325,1
Motorcycles with sidecarS ≤ 0,1.V + V2/1405,4
TricyclesS ≤ 0,1.V + V2/1305,0
2.2.3.2.Braking with the second service or the secondary (emergency) braking device, all categories

The stopping distance is:

S ≤ 0,1.V + V2/65

(corresponding mean fully developed deceleration 2,5 m/s2).

(1)

Vehicles the maximum speed (Vmax) of which is lower than 45 km/h in the case of mopeds, or 67 km/h in the case of motorcycles (with or without sidecar) must be tested at a speed equal to 0,9 Vmax.
