using jQuery to uncheck all checkboxes and then check the clicked one

I have the following:

      <div class="pricing-levels-2">
        <p>Which level would you like? (Click all that apply)</p>
        <input class="single-checkbox" type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="Bike">Level 1<br>
        <input class="single-checkbox" type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="Bike">Level 2<br>
        <input class="single-checkbox" type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="Bike">Level 3<br>
        <input class="single-checkbox" type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="Bike">Level 4<br>
        <input class="single-checkbox" type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="Bike">Level 5<br>
        <input class="single-checkbox" type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="Bike">Level 6<br>
        <input class="single-checkbox" type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="Bike">Level 7<br>
      </div>
      <div class="pricing-levels-3">
        <p>Which level would you like? (Click all that apply)</p>
        <input class="single-checkbox"type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="Bike">Level 1<br>
        <input class="single-checkbox" type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="Bike">Level 2<br>
        <input class="single-checkbox" type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="Bike">Level 3<br>
      </div>

I want the .pricing-levels-2 checkboxes to clear each time I click in one of them, so I did: 

jQuery('.pricing-levels-2 .single-checkbox').on('click', function(){
  jQuery('.pricing-levels-2 .single-checkbox').attr('checked', false);
  jQuery(this).attr('checked', true);
});

But the problem is that now ALL the checkboxes clear, even the one I'm selecting. So I can't select any (I want the one I'm clicking to be selected).

What I'm doing wrong?

by attr

   jQuery('.pricing-levels-2 .single-checkbox').on('click', function(){
      jQuery('.pricing-levels-2 .single-checkbox').removeAttr('checked');
      jQuery(this).attr('checked', 'checked');
    });

reference removeAttr

by prop

jQuery('.pricing-levels-2 .single-checkbox').on('click', function(){
  jQuery('.pricing-levels-2 .single-checkbox').prop('checked', false);
  jQuery(this).prop('checked', true);
});

You need to use .prop instead:

jQuery('.pricing-levels-2 .single-checkbox').on('click', function(){
  jQuery('.pricing-levels-2 .single-checkbox').prop('checked', false);
  jQuery(this).prop('checked', true);
});
