What is the minimum age to ride a motorcycle?
2 Answers
The minimum age requirement for obtaining a motorcycle license is 18 years old, which refers to the legal age of 18. Basic requirements for obtaining a motorcycle license: As long as you are between 18 and 70 years old, in good health, and not color-blind or color-weak, you can take the test. Materials needed for the motorcycle test: You need to provide 8 one-inch white background photos and the original ID card. In addition, a residence permit is required for registration in a different location, and the original driver's license must be provided for an additional license. Test content: Subjects 1 and 4 cover theoretical knowledge and safety common sense, while Subjects 2 and 3 include skills such as slalom, single-plank bridge, and hill start.
I understand the curiosity and fascination you young people have towards riding motorcycles—it does sound cool. In China, the law stipulates that you must be at least 18 years old to obtain a motorcycle license and ride legally. There are solid safety reasons behind this: young people need time to mature and handle complex traffic situations. I’ve seen many 16 or 17-year-olds take the risk of riding, only to end up in accidents or fined by the police—it’s really not worth it. I recommend waiting until you’re of legal age to enroll in a driving school and start with the theoretical exams. Getting a license isn’t hard, but the key is developing safety awareness, like wearing helmets and obeying speed limits. When you’re more mature, riding will be safer and more enjoyable. Remember, safety always comes first.
