How the Utah motorcycle test works
An M endorsement on your license
Utah riders add a motorcycle endorsement ("M") to a Class D license from age 16: a 25-question closed-book knowledge test, then a rider skills test on your own registered motorcycle, or a course completion card in place of the skills test.
Six-month learner permit
The learner permit is valid for six months. For the first two months: no passengers, no highways posted over 60 mph, and no riding from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. (except to or from home, work, a farm or in an emergency). Riders under 19 hold it at least two months unless they finish the Basic Rider Course.
Tiered endorsements
The motorcycle you test on sets the limit: 99 cc or less, 249 cc or less, 649 cc or less, or no limit at 650 cc or more. Testing on a three-wheeler limits you to three-wheelers.
Helmets under 21 and lane filtering
Riders under 21 must wear a helmet. Utah allows lane filtering past stopped vehicles at 15 mph or less on roads with two or more lanes in your direction and a limit of 45 mph or less.

Laws and gear
Does Utah have a motorcycle helmet law?
Yes, for riders under 21 (UCA 41-6a-1505). It also covers electric-assisted bicycles, motor-assisted scooters, high-power electric devices and open autocycles. Everyone is encouraged to wear a DOT helmet.
Is lane filtering legal in Utah?
Yes, in limited cases: past a vehicle stopped in your lane, on a road or off-ramp with two or more lanes in your direction and a speed limit of 45 mph or less, while riding 15 mph or less. Never on an on-ramp, and never between moving traffic.
Do I need a motorcycle endorsement for a moped, e-bike or autocycle in Utah?
Not for a moped (a driver license is enough), an electric-assisted bicycle, a motor-assisted scooter or an autocycle (driver license only). Mini-motorcycles, electric motorcycles and high-power electric devices such as Surrons need registration and a motorcycle endorsement.
What BAC limit applies to Utah motorcycle riders?
0.05%, lower than the 0.08% in every other state, and lower limits apply under 21. Refusing a chemical test revokes your driving privileges.

Utah motorcycle laws and licensing
- Section 1Required Equipment
Every Utah motorcycle must have a head lamp, a tail lamp, a white light on the rear plate, a red rear reflector, a stop lamp, brakes, a horn, a muffler and emission controls meeting Utah rules, a mirror, at least 2/32 inch of tire tread and footrests for any passenger.
- Section 1Protective Headgear (Helmets)
In Utah anyone under 21 operating or riding a motorcycle, electric-assisted bicycle, motor-assisted scooter, high-power electric device or not fully enclosed autocycle on a public street or highway must wear a helmet meeting federal DOT standards; everyone is encouraged to wear one.
- Section 1License: Learner Permit
In Utah, anyone younger than 19 must hold the motorcycle learner permit for two months before getting the endorsement, unless they complete the Basic RiderCourse (BRC).
- Section 1Traffic Rules and Regulations
In Utah no one under 16 may operate a motor vehicle on a road or highway (with some exceptions for off-highway vehicles and permits), and a change of address must be reported to the Driver License Division within 10 days, online or in person.
- Section 1Lane Filtering
Utah allows lane filtering: a motorcycle (not an autocycle) may pass a vehicle stopped in the same lane only on a roadway or off-ramp with two or more lanes in the same direction, a speed limit of 45 mph or less (never on an on-ramp), and only while riding at 15 mph or less.
- Section 1Off-Highway Vehicles
In Utah, off-highway vehicle (OHV) operators and passengers under 18 must wear a properly fitted DOT helmet, an OHV operator needs a valid driver license or a Parks and Recreation safety certificate, and an OHV must be registered for the current year to use public land, trails, streets or highways.
- Section 1Other Transportation Devices: Electric-Assisted Bicycle
Utah's electric-assisted bicycles have no more than 750 watts and working pedals: Class 1 and Class 2 stop assisting at 20 mph and Class 3 at 28 mph.
- Section 1Other Transportation Devices: Mini-Motorcycle
In Utah a mini-motorcycle (pocket bike) has a seat less than 24 inches above the ground; it may not be ridden on public property, highways, paths or sidewalks unless it is registered for highway use and the rider is licensed for motorcycles, and many Utah cities ban them from city streets.
Gear and pre-ride checks
- Section 9T-CLOCS: L – Lights (Battery)
On the T-CLOCS checklist, check the battery: terminals clean and tight, electrolyte level, battery held down securely, and the vent tube not kinked, routed properly and not plugged.
Intersections and being seen
- Section 4Increasing Conspicuity
Drivers in crashes with motorcycles often say they never saw the motorcycle: its outline is much smaller than a car's, it's hard to see something you aren't looking for, and smaller vehicles appear farther away than they are.
Passengers and group riding
- Section 4Tips for Traveling with Passengers and Cargo
On a trip, carry a small tool kit and common spare parts, water and energy bars or other food, and a first aid kit, especially when riding in a group; don't forget sun protection in summer, since some gear leaves the neck exposed.
Alcohol, drugs and fatigue
- Section 5Why This Information Is Important
Alcohol is a major contributor to motorcycle crashes, especially fatal ones: nearly a third of fatally injured riders had a BAC above the legal limit, and another 8% had lower levels (0.01 to 0.07%), so a drink or two can impair riding skills.

Getting your endorsement
How old do you have to be for a Utah motorcycle endorsement?
16, with a Class D driver license. From 15 and a half, with a learner permit or license, you can take a rider course.
What are the Utah motorcycle learner permit rules?
The permit lasts six months. During the first two months you may not carry passengers, ride on highways posted over 60 mph, or ride between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. unless going to or from home, work or a farm, or in an emergency; months three to six have no limits. Riders under 19 must hold it at least two months unless they complete the Basic Rider Course.
Does a Utah rider course replace the skills test?
Yes. Passing the Beginning Rider Course (15 hours, 10 on the motorcycle) or the Experienced Rider Course test earns a skills test waiver card; show it at the Driver License Division within six months. Course bikes are 150 or 250 cc, so your endorsement is limited to that size unless you retest on a larger motorcycle.
Will my Utah motorcycle endorsement have a size limit?
It depends on the motorcycle you test on: 99 cc or less, 249 cc or less, 649 cc or less, or no limit when you test on 650 cc or more. Testing on a three-wheeler limits you to three-wheelers.
How much does a Utah motorcycle permit and license cost?
Utah Department of Public Safety, Driver License Division lists the current fees for the motorcycle permit, tests and license on its official fee page.
