2 Answers
Motorcycle license is the D class. Motorcycle licenses are divided into D, E, and F classes, which allow driving three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, and light motorcycles respectively. The D class is the highest-level motorcycle license, permitting the operation of three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, and light motorcycles. Below is the classification of driving licenses: 1. A1 license: Allows driving large buses and A3, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, M. 2. A2 license: Permits driving tractors and B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, M. 3. A3 license: Authorizes driving city buses and C1, C2, C3, C4. 4. B1 license: Enables driving medium-sized buses and C1, C2, C3, C4, M (medium-sized buses refer to those with fewer than 19 seats, such as minibuses and vans).
I just got my motorcycle license and remember clearly that in China's licensing system, the D license is specifically designed for three-wheeled motorcycles. But the advantage is that it allows you to ride all types of motorcycles, including two-wheelers, so I directly applied for the D license. During the test, a three-wheeled motorcycle was used, which was a bit challenging to practice with, such as requiring more stable control when turning. Once you pass, it's completely legal to ride a two-wheeler for daily commuting, and it saves you the trouble of taking the E license test later. Before registration, you need to undergo a medical checkup and a theory test, and the tuition fee of a few thousand yuan is quite cost-effective. The entire learning process takes about a week, and beginners are advised to choose professional instructors from driving schools for guidance.
