How to Obtain Your Motorcycle License in Pennsylvania
To obtain a Class M (Motorcycle) license in the state of Pennsylvania, an individual must pass a basic motorcycle knowledge test and apply for a Class M learner’s permit. The learner’s permit allows the applicant to ride only between sunrise and sunset and, except for a rider licensed to operate another class of vehicle, only while under the instruction and supervision of an individual who holds a Class M license. Class M permit holders cannot carry any passengers other than an instructor properly licensed to operate a motorcycle. The permit is valid for 1 year. The cost of the permit is $10.00.
Process:
Step 1: Obtain an Application for a Motorcycle Learner's Permit (DL-5) and the Pennsylvania Motorcycle Operator’s Manual.
Step 2: You will be given a vision screening test and are required to pass the motorcycle knowledge test. Upon successful completion, you will be given the learner’s permit.
Step 3: Following the receipt of the learner's permit, you can either schedule your skills test at a local Driver License Center or schedule training through the Motorcycle Safety Program or by calling 1-800-845-9533. If you choose the Motorcycle Safety Program, at the end of the training, a skills evaluation is administered by a certified Rider Coach. If you pass the skills evaluation, you are not required to go to a Driver’s License Center to take the skills test; the licensing examination is waived.
