How the Michigan motorcycle test works

  • Two ways to the endorsementMichigan riders with a valid driver's license either complete an approved Michigan Rider Education Program course, which waives the state knowledge and skills tests, or pass the motorcycle knowledge and vision tests at a Secretary of State office for a temporary instruction permit (TIP) and then pass a rider skills test at an approved driver testing business. (Michigan SOS: Motorcycle endorsement)
  • The knowledge testThe written motorcycle knowledge test is taken at a Secretary of State office before a TIP is issued, and its questions come from the information and practices in the Michigan Motorcycle Operator Manual. Michigan Motorcycle Operator Manual p. 3
  • Riding on a TIPA TIP lasts 180 days. You must carry it, ride only in daylight, carry no passengers and stay within sight of a supervising licensed rider aged 18 or older. You can hold at most two TIPs in any 10 years. (Michigan SOS: Motorcycle endorsement)
  • Riders under 18Riders aged 16 or 17 can get a TIP with proof of enrollment in a rider safety course and a parent's signature, but must complete the course to receive the endorsement. (Michigan SOS: Motorcycle endorsement)

Questions about the test

What does this Michigan motorcycle practice test cover?

The Michigan Motorcycle Operator Manual (May 2024): licensing and Michigan motorcycle laws, alcohol and drugs, helmets, gear and pre-ride checks, basic operation, street strategies, crash avoidance, special situations, passengers and group riding, rider performance and three-wheel vehicles. The manual says knowledge test questions come from its information, practices and ideas. Michigan Motorcycle Operator Manual p. 3

Is the knowledge test waived after a rider course in Michigan?

Yes. Passing a motorcycle rider education course approved by the Department of State waives both the knowledge test and the rider skills test. Michigan Motorcycle Operator Manual p. 3

Can I add the endorsement online after passing my course or skills test?

Yes, if you are at least 18 and hold a valid Michigan driver's license. You can also add it at a self-service station while renewing your license, or at a Secretary of State office. (Michigan SOS: Motorcycle endorsement)
