What are the dimensions for the motorcycle Category 2 stake test?
2 Answers
For regular and light two-wheeled motorcycles, the length is the vehicle length plus 50 cm. For standard three-wheeled motorcycles, it's the vehicle length plus 40 cm, and for sidecar three-wheeled motorcycles, it's the vehicle length plus 80 cm. Detailed explanation of the dimensions for the motorcycle Category 2 stake test: The distance between stakes for two-wheeled motorcycles is generally 2.5-3 meters. Regarding stake spacing, for regular and light two-wheeled motorcycles, it's the vehicle length plus 50 cm; for standard three-wheeled motorcycles, it's the vehicle length plus 40 cm; and for sidecar three-wheeled motorcycles, it's the vehicle length plus 80 cm. The termination line is three times the vehicle length from the last stake. To ride a motorcycle, you need to obtain a motorcycle driver's license. Classification of motorcycle driver's licenses: Motorcycle driver's licenses are divided into three categories: D, E, and F. The D license (standard three-wheeled motorcycle) is for three-wheeled motorcycles with an engine displacement greater than 50ml or a maximum design speed exceeding 50km/h, and it permits driving vehicles covered by E and F licenses.
I remember when I took the motorcycle slalom test, the instructor said the standard dimensions were usually 4 meters between each cone, with each cone being about 20 centimeters wide. These dimensions aren't arbitrary—they're designed to make it challenging enough for beginners to avoid hitting the cones during turns, but not so wide that the test becomes too easy. The test area is typically over 10 meters long, with five or six cones arranged in a straight line for you to weave through in an S-pattern. I practiced several times on my 150cc motorcycle—going too fast made it easy to hit the cones, while taking it slow kept things steady. More practice improves control, and don't underestimate these dimensions—they directly affect whether you pass the second test on your first try. Failing means retaking it, which wastes both time and money. Remember the dimensions and simulate the test often; there are plenty of open spaces around driving schools where you can mark lines and practice.
