Is the F driver's license easy to obtain?

F driver's license is relatively easy to obtain. Here is the relevant information: Introduction: Class F driver's license indicates that the holder is permitted to drive a light motorcycle. According to the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses', a light motorcycle is described as: a motorcycle with an engine displacement of ≤50ml and a maximum design speed of ≤50km/h. No other vehicle types are permitted. Others: The application age is from 18 to 70 years old, the permitted vehicle type is light motorcycle with an engine displacement of ≤50ml and a maximum design speed of ≤50km/h. The test vehicles are specified by the provincial traffic management department of the public security organ.
When I took the F license test, I found the difficulty level moderate since it's for light motorcycles. The theory exam required thorough memorization of a 500-question bank, focusing on traffic signs and penalty rules. The field test emphasized practicing the slalom and single-plank bridge, with careful throttle control to avoid crossing lines during the slalom. My instructor repeatedly stressed three points: maintaining handlebar stability, leaning inward when turning, and always using the side stand when parking. The entire test was electronically monitored, and touching the lines during the slalom meant immediate failure. It's advisable to practice light operations and hill starts daily before the test, remembering that exceeding 25 km/h counts as a violation. The road test after passing the field test was relatively easier - as long as you don't run red lights, wear a helmet, and make standardized turns, you'll generally pass.
As a driving instructor, I've worked with all kinds of students, and the F license is the easiest among motorcycle licenses. The 40-hour training is completely sufficient, but petite students should pay special attention—the seat height of exam motorcycles is generally over 75cm. When it's difficult to have both feet touch the ground simultaneously, it's recommended to use the kickstand technique. The theoretical test recently added electric vehicle safety questions, with a focus on charging station usage regulations. In the practical test, the slalom course has the highest failure rate. Remember to reduce speed below 8km/h before entering the course, and don't touch the poles or reverse while navigating. It's advisable to wear hard-soled sports shoes for practice—rubber soles are too slippery and affect foot brake control. During the road test, make sure your intersection observation movements are exaggerated, and your helmet must show obvious rotation marks when turning your head for it to count.
