How the New Hampshire motorcycle test works

  • Prove you can rideA New Hampshire motorcycle license takes a vision test and proof that you can ride: either a passed Basic Rider Course or the DMV’s motorcycle skills test. You must be at least 16; under 18, the Basic Rider Course and a parent’s permission form are required. (NH DMV: Motorcycle License Endorsement)
  • A short daylight permitThe learner’s permit (after the vision and knowledge tests) lets you ride only between sunrise and sunset, with no passengers. It lasts 45 days and can be renewed once. (NH DMV: Motorcycle License Endorsement)
  • The DMV skills testSkills tests run in season, rain or shine, on your own registered and inspected motorcycle. The manual’s New Hampshire pages describe the four exercises and the 10-point limit; fail the test twice and a rider training class becomes required. (NH DMV: Motorcycle License Endorsement)
  • The MSF manual with New Hampshire pagesThe New Hampshire Motorcycle Operator Manual is the MSF 17th edition with the DMV’s rider course page and its two- and three-wheel skills tests. Every knowledge test in New Hampshire needs 80% to pass. (NH DMV: Motorcycle License Endorsement)

Based on the New Hampshire Motorcycle Operator Manual (17th Edition). Official licensing agency.

Questions about the test

How many questions are on the New Hampshire motorcycle knowledge test?

The DMV says every knowledge test needs a passing grade of 80% but doesn’t publish the number of questions. Our practice exam uses 25 questions with 20 to pass, from the New Hampshire Motorcycle Operator Manual. (NH DMV: Driver Licensing Testing Requirements)

What does this New Hampshire motorcycle practice test cover?

The New Hampshire Motorcycle Operator Manual (MSF 17th edition): the DMV’s rider courses, gear and checks, control, lane position, intersections, crash avoidance, passengers and groups, alcohol and fatigue, the two- and three-wheel skills tests, hand signals and the T-CLOCS checklist. New Hampshire Motorcycle Operator Manual p. 3–63

How long must I wait to retake a failed New Hampshire motorcycle test?

Ten calendar days for a failed knowledge or road test. If you miss a scheduled road test or cancel with less than 24 hours’ notice, the wait is 30 days. (NH DMV: Driver Licensing Testing Requirements)

What happens if I fail the New Hampshire motorcycle skills test twice?

You must take a motorcycle rider training class to get your license. Passing the Basic Rider Course (completion card from the last year) replaces the DMV skills test. (NH DMV: Motorcycle License Endorsement)
