To apply for a motorcycle driver's license, the applicant must be at least 18 years old and under 60 years old, with physical conditions meeting the corresponding standards. Below is the relevant introduction: Motorcycle: A motorcycle is a two-wheeled or three-wheeled vehicle driven by a gasoline engine and steered by handlebars to control the front wheel. It is lightweight, flexible, and fast, widely used for patrol, passenger and cargo transportation, and also serves as sports equipment. Broadly speaking, motorcycles are divided into street bikes, road racing motorcycles, off-road motorcycles, cruisers, touring bikes, etc. Specific requirements: To apply for low-speed trucks, three-wheeled vehicles, ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, or wheeled self-propelled machinery, the applicant must be at least 18 years old and under 60 years old; the naked or corrected vision of both eyes must reach 4.9 or above on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. For those with monocular vision impairment, the naked or corrected vision of the better eye must reach 5.0 or above on the logarithmic visual acuity chart, with a horizontal field of vision reaching 150 degrees; both ears must be able to distinguish the direction of sound at a distance of 50 centimeters from the tuning fork; both lower limbs must be sound and have normal motor function, with no length difference greater than 5 centimeters; there must be no motor dysfunction in the trunk or neck; the right lower limb or both lower limbs may be missing or have lost motor function but must be able to sit and stand independently.
I've been thinking about getting a motorcycle license recently and found there are quite a few requirements. You must be at least 18 years old to qualify for registration—if you're underage, you'll need parents or guardians to sign a consent form. Good physical health is mandatory, so a basic medical check-up is required to test vision, hearing, and ensure no color blindness. Bring your ID card or household registration to prove your identity, and non-locals need to add a temporary residence permit. When registering, visit a local driving school or the vehicle management office to pay fees and fill out forms, usually costing a few hundred yuan. Training courses are essential, covering traffic laws and riding skills. The exam consists of a theory test (multiple-choice questions on road rules) and a practical test (riding maneuvers like starting, stopping, and circling). If you already have a car driver's license, you can directly upgrade it to simplify the process. The entire process emphasizes safety awareness—wearing a helmet is a must. Spending time learning from experience is worth it, as safe riding is what truly matters.
