What the Wisconsin Motorcyclists' Handbook says about Wisconsin license, permit and courses

  • Protective gear for motorcycle operation

    Wisconsin requires a helmet that meets standards if you are under 18, or 18 or older with a motorcycle instruction permit. p. 5

  • Class M license in four steps

    To get a Wisconsin Cycle Instruction Permit (CYCI) you study the handbook, are at least 16, pass the knowledge test, and, if under 18, have a parent or guardian's sponsorship, proof of finished driver education and proof of enrollment in a basic rider course. p. 6

  • 2. Practice riding

    During hours of darkness, a Wisconsin cycle permit rider must be accompanied by a licensed person at least 25 years old with at least two years of licensed driving experience and a Class M license; that person doesn't have to ride on your motorcycle but must be nearby. p. 7

  • The pre-test inspection

    Wisconsin inspects your cycle before the skills test and won't test it with defective, repaired or improvised handlebars, or handlebars more than 30 inches above the lowest part of the occupied seat. p. 8

  • Waiver of skills test

    Completing an approved WisDOT rider course can waive the motorcycle skills test, as long as you pass the motorcycle knowledge test and are at least 16. p. 51

  • Point reduction

    Completing the Basic RiderCourse or Advanced RiderCourse can remove up to three demerit points from your driving record for motorcycle violations you were convicted of in the previous 12 months. p. 51
