What the Maine Motorcycle Operator Manual says about Maine laws and licensing

  • Defining a motorcycle or moped

    A Maine moped travels on 2 or 3 wheels of ten inches or more, may have working pedals, has an engine of no more than 50 cc or an electric motor under 1,500 watts, and needs no clutching or shifting once the drive is engaged. p. 58

  • Defining a motorcycle or moped

    In Maine a motorized scooter has 2 or 3 wheels under ten inches in diameter, or an engine under 25 cc, or an electric motor of no more than 750 watts; riding one takes any class of license or a valid instruction permit. p. 59

  • Other motorcycle requirements

    In Maine every motorcycle must have an approved headlight on while it is being ridden. p. 59

  • Maine's OUI law

    Under Maine law, a police officer gives a breath test unless that is unreasonable; if no breath test is given, the driver must take a blood test, which a physician of the driver's choice may give if one is reasonably available. Results are accepted as evidence in court. p. 61

  • Road test instructions

    On Maine's motorcycle road test the examiner follows you in a vehicle with low beams on and gives directions by walkie-talkie or horn: one short blast means turn left, two mean turn right, and three mean pull to the right curb or edge and stop. p. 62
