How the Maine motorcycle test works

  • Course before the permitMaine law requires a motorcycle rider education course and exam before a learner’s permit is issued. You must be at least 16, finish driver education if under 18, and pass a vision test and the motorcycle knowledge test. (Maine Revised Statutes, Title 29-A §1304: Learner’s permits)
  • A two-year permitThe learner’s permit lasts two years and doesn’t allow passengers. Riders on a permit, under 18, or in their first year after the road test must wear a helmet. Maine Motorcycle Operator Manual p. 59–60
  • Road test or BRCPass the motorcycle road test (the examiner follows you and signals with the horn), or finish the 15-hour Basic Rider Course to have it waived; then no passengers for 60 days. Maine Motorcycle Operator Manual p. 59–62
  • The MSF manualThe Maine Motorcycle Operator Manual is the MSF 16th edition with a Maine appendix on definitions, licensing, equipment, helmets, the OUI law and the road test. Maine Motorcycle Operator Manual p. 58–62
