How many meters apart are the cones for a three-wheeled motorcycle slalom test?
2 Answers
For regular and light two-wheeled motorcycles, the distance is the vehicle length plus 50 centimeters; for standard three-wheeled motorcycles, it's the vehicle length plus 40 centimeters; for sidecar three-wheeled motorcycles, it's the vehicle length plus 80 centimeters. Below is a detailed introduction to the motorcycle test content: Subject 1: Theoretical test, covering road traffic rules, traffic signals, handling of traffic safety violations and accidents, regulations on motor vehicle driver's license application and use, motor vehicle registration, and other road traffic safety laws, regulations, and rules. Subject 2: Road test, including single-plank bridge, hill start, right-angle turn, and designated stop. Subject 3: Safe and civilized driving operation requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge.
When I practiced slalom riding on a three-wheeled motorcycle before, I specifically checked the standards. For regular three-wheeled motorcycle tests, the spacing between cones is usually around 2.5 meters. However, for traditional three-wheeled motorcycles, the spacing is narrower, about 2.3 meters per cone. I remember the height of the cones in the test area must exceed 1.5 meters, and they must be made of reflective material to be visible at night. During practice, pay attention to the vehicle's width, keeping the side wheels at least 30 cm away from the cones for safety. Beginners should practice at professional training grounds, using water-filled cones to avoid scratching the vehicle. The key is to maintain stable throttle control, keeping the speed below 10 km/h, as excessive handlebar movement can easily lead to hitting the cones. For modified three-wheelers with sidecars, a 3-meter spacing is safer.
