How the Ohio motorcycle test works

  • Permit firstEvery Ohio rider starts with the 40-question knowledge test and a vision screening to get a temporary instruction permit (TIPIC). It lasts a year and allows daylight riding only, with no passengers and no interstates. Motorcycle Ohio Motorcycle Operator Manual Section 2
  • Course or skills testPass the BMV motorcycle skills test on a closed course, or finish a state-approved course such as Motorcycle Ohio's Basic Riding Skills, which waives it. Then buy the license or endorsement within 60 days or before the TIPIC expires. Motorcycle Ohio Motorcycle Operator Manual Section 2
  • Your first yearNew riders are novices for one year and must wear a helmet; riders under 18 must too, and must complete an approved rider course before they're licensed. Motorcycle Ohio Motorcycle Operator Manual Section 19
