Which movement is not considered a motor vehicle?

• A. Gas-powered vehicle
• B. Human power
• C. Electric car
• D. Bicycle

Answer: (B)

The key idea is that a motor vehicle is propelled by a motor or engine. A gas-powered vehicle and an electric car are clearly powered by engines or motors, so they are motor vehicles. Movement powered by human energy has no engine or motor at all, so it does not qualify as a motor vehicle. A bicycle is a non-motorized vehicle, but the emphasis here is on propulsion by a motor; since human power uses no motor, the movement powered by human energy is not a motor vehicle.
