How to Obtain a Motorcycle or Motor Driven Cycle License

motorcycle driver education program consisting of an 8-hour block

be obtained at any Motor Vehicle Branch Office.
• Written and road
tests specifically for motorcycles are required.
• After passing
the written test, a learners's Permit will be issued which is valid
for two years. Failure to complete the driving test within two years
from the completion of the Maine Motorcycle Safety Education Course
requires you to retake the course before you may take the driving
test.
• On a Learner's

then in daylight hours.
• The Secretary
of State is authorized to waive the requirement of a road examination
for a motorcycle endorsement on receipt of a certificate demonstrating
that the person successfully completed the Motorcycle Rider Course:
Riding and Street Skills (MRC: RSS). If the road examination is
waived the motorcycle endorsement prohibits the holder from carrying
a passenger for a period of 60 days following the date of issuance
of the endorsement.
Note.:
The MRC: RSS is the 15 hour motorcycle hands on rider course and
is the only course acceptable for waiver of the motorcycle road
test.
