As a part of the LENS project, we created an online questionnaire to determine the modifications that users make to motorcycles and other L-category vehicles (tricycles, ATVs, mini-cars) in Europe. We would like to invite those of you who have motorcycles with one or more modifications to participate in our survey! The questionnaire is completely anonymous, will take no more than 5-10 minutes to complete, and will remain open until 31/05.
