The amendment stipulates that such vehicles would be called cabin motorcycles, which refer to three-wheeled motorcycles equipped with an enclosed passenger compartment and a steering wheel, and would be granted license plates designated for motorcycles. Meanwhile, the amendment would ban cabin motorcycle riders from driving on freeways and expressways, and riders and passengers must have their seatbelts fastened, but do not need to wear helmets. To ensure that the steering wheel, windows, seatbelts and windshield wipers function normally, cabin motorcycle riders are required to have their vehicles inspected. Cabin motorcycle riders would face a fine of NT$6,000 to NT$12,000 if they have only a motorcycle license, as per the Road Traffic Management and Penalty Act (道路交通管理處罰條例). Driving a cabin motorcycle without a license would incur a fine of NT$6,000 to NT$36,000.
