What kind of license is required for a motorcycle sports car?
2 Answers
Motorcycle sports cars require the following three types of driver's licenses: 1. A D license allows driving three-wheeled motorcycles with an engine displacement greater than 50ml or a maximum design speed greater than 50km/h, as well as two-wheeled motorcycles with an engine displacement greater than 50ml or a maximum design speed greater than 50km/h, and motorcycles with an engine displacement less than or equal to 50ml and a maximum design speed less than or equal to 50km/h. 2. An E license allows driving two-wheeled motorcycles with a displacement greater than 0.5L or a speed greater than 50km/h. It also permits driving the vehicle types allowed by an F license. 3. An F license allows driving light motorcycles with a displacement less than 0.5L or a speed less than 50km/h.
I've been keeping an eye on motorcycle license regulations, especially for high-performance two-wheelers like sports bikes. In China, these generally fall under the regular two-wheeled motorcycle category, typically requiring a Class E license. Of course, if you're planning to ride three-wheelers or larger displacement bikes, you'll need a Class D license. The age requirement for an E license is 18 years or older, and the test consists of three parts: theory, field, and road exams. When I took my license test, I spent some time practicing balance skills because sports bikes are fast, and cornering really tests your control. I recommend beginners find a proper riding school, which costs around 2,000 yuan, to avoid dangerous self-practice. Riding a motorcycle is fun, but don't forget safety comes first—getting licensed ensures you know traffic rules and can handle emergencies. Like me, I always wear a full-face helmet and knee pads when riding; these are must-haves for any rider.
