The Motorcycling MEP Club is an official, cross-party group within the European Parliament established on 1 July 2026. The club reinforces dialogue between Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) and the motorcycling sector.

The club’s board consists of MEPs Andreas Glück (Germany), Matej Tonin (Slovenia), Bernd Lange (Germany), and Nora Junco García (Spain.

This initiative helps policymakers better understand the role and value of motorcycles in European mobility and society, and facilitates a dialogue between MEPs and stakeholders such as riders’ organisations, manufacturers, road safety experts, and researchers.

The club can raise awareness and promote motorcycling within European legislation, discussing topics like driving licences, vehicle requirements, environment, infrastructure, and road safety. The administration of the Motorcycling MEP Club will be managed by ACEM, the European Association of Motorcycle Manufacturers. The Motorcycling MEP Club features an elected board and operates under strict EU transparency rules. Motorcycle federations FIM and FEMA have signed on to the club as official observers.

Immediately following its inaugural meeting, the club took part in the ACEM Summer Ride 2026. Participants, including MEPs, European Commission officials, and representatives from the motorcycle federations FIM and FEMA, completed a 50-kilometer ride around Brussels. This event brought the practical experience of motorcycling directly to EU lawmakers.

Wim Taal, FEMA’s General Secretary said: “FEMA welcomes the club as an open channel to talk to Members of the European Parliament on how political, environmental, and technological changes are reshaping mobility. For both FEMA and FIM, the Motorcycling MEP Club should be viewed less as a lobbying target and more as a long-term relationship platform. It offers a way to build understanding of motorcycling across political groups before legislative proposals become politically entrenched. FEMA brings the perspective of everyday riders and public policy, while FIM represents motorcycle sport and has technical expertise, and a global reach. Together, we can present motorcycling as a broad societal issue rather than a niche interest.”
