What does ποΈ Motorcycle emoji mean?
Are you ready to ride? The motorcycle emoji, ποΈ, depicts a motorcycle, a motorized bicycle popular for racing, transportation, and off-road adventures.
Where does ποΈ Motorcycle emoji come from?
While the motorcycle came to be in the late 1800s, it wasnβt until 2014 that the motorcycle emoji hit the digital road as part of Unicode 7.0.
The appearance of the motorcycle emoji, officially called Racing Motorcycle by Unicode, varies across different platforms, as shown in the screenshot from Emojipedia below. It may also popularly go by motorbike emoji.
Some platforms, such as Microsoft, feature a person on the bike, while most, including Apple and Google, feature a driver-less vehicle. Color ranges widely, too, but major vendors show the front of the bike facing left. They also depict a vehicle that suggests a superbike used in motorcycle racing. Appleβs design, however, resembles a cruiser motorcycle.
The motorcycle emoji is not to be confused with the motor scooter emoji, π΅.

Law enforcement, however, may use the motorcycle emoji to remind others not to drive too fast.
