How to Obtain a Heavy Motorcycle License?
2 Answers
The applicant must bring original documents such as a second-generation ID card to the Vehicle Management Office of the Traffic Police Brigade for a physical examination and registration. Motorcycle license applicants must take the following tests: Subject 1 (Road Traffic Safety Laws, Regulations, and Related Knowledge), Subject 2, Subject 3, and Subject 4. The original driver's license will be revoked (if upgrading from another vehicle class license), and the new license will be issued.
To get a heavy motorcycle license, I’ve personally gone through the process. First, you must meet the age requirement of 18 or older, then undergo a medical check-up at a hospital to ensure your vision, blood pressure, etc., are all good. Next, enroll in a driving school—it costs around a few thousand yuan—and take theoretical courses to memorize traffic rules and riding safety knowledge. The written test was really tricky; I had to take three rounds of mock exams before passing. The road test was even more challenging, with tasks like slalom and emergency braking control. My coach made me practice balance every day. Don’t rush the process; it’s best to choose a certified driving school to avoid unnecessary trouble. Also, remember to follow traffic rules after getting your license—heavy bikes have high horsepower and can be accident-prone, so safety comes first. I think finding a riding buddy to learn together makes it easier and keeps you motivated.
