The Process Of Applying For A Colorado Motorcycle License

By Amanda Baird


Getting a Colorado motorcycle license is the first step towards enjoying the great plains and bike riding terrains in the state. In order to get this type of driving permit, applicants must first have regular driving licenses from the state. If you have any type of two or three-wheeled vehicle, you need to get a suitable permit before you can hit the road. Read on for more information on motorbike driving permits.

Different types of applicants must satisfy different requirements before they can get an endorsement. For instance, the requirements for under 18's are more strict than those for over 21's. Generally, the more experienced a driver is, the less strict the requirements will be.

Originally, people who wanted to get a permit to operate motorbikes could get the license separately. Nowadays, however, applicants can only get an endorsement on an existing license. This means that a person needs to get a regular driving permit first before seeking this endorsement. Anyone who is under 18 years old needs to have had an instruction permit for one year before seeking this endorsement.

If you would like to ride any type of motorbike there is, then you need to apply for the M endorsement. On the other hand, you can apply for the 3 endorsement if you only want to drive three wheeled vehicles. It is important that you know the difference between the two types of permits before you visit DMV offices to apply for the endorsement.

Before applying for a motorbike permit, you need to visit the local DMV office and do a written motorcycle test. Thereafter, you need to pay fourteen dollars for an instruction permit. You will then need to pass a motorbike driving test. If you pass these tests, you will be required to purchase a new driving permit that has a motorcycle endorsement. The fees are 23 and 37 dollars for regular and CDL licenses respectively.

The Motorcycle Safety Foundation has a training program for drivers who want to get a motorbike endorsement. Those who complete this course get a certificate. The DMV normally accepts this document as proof of competence in motorbike riding. In order to get a new permit, a certificate holder only needs to present this certificate at the DMV and pay the required fees.

Before the DMV can give an endorsement, it must administer a test to assess the skills of the applicant. The good news is that applicants do not need to visit DMV offices to take these tests. They can be tested by third party testers nearby. If you are looking for a convenient way to get your endorsement, you can just find a third party tester and do the test.

If you have a scooter or moped, you do not need to get a Colorado motorcycle license in order to use them. These motorbikes do not have any clutch so they do not fall in the same group as other clutched motorbikes. That said, it is important for people to know the different classifications of motorbikes before they apply for a license. This will help to ensure that they get the right permit.
