Utah Rider Education News

Starting July 8, 2008 Utah will be using a tiered licensing system for motorcycle endorsements.

• If a rider tests on a 90cc or less motorcycle or scooter they will be restricted to 90cc or less.


• If a rider tests on a 249cc or less motorcycle or scooter they will be restricted to 249cc or less.


• If a rider tests on a 649cc or less motorcycle or scooter they will be restricted to 649cc or less.


• If a rider tests on a motorcycle or scooter larger than 650cc they will be allowed to ride any motorcycle or scooter.

If you take a motorcycle safety class on a 250cc, successful completion will waive the riding part of the license test for an up to 649cc endorsement. To get an endorsement for motorcycles above 649cc you must use your larger motorcycle in our class. To use your bike in our class you must have a permit, registration, and insurance.

If you currently ride a motorcycle over 649cc you may also obtain a skill test waiver by successfully completing our License Waiver Experienced Rider Course (ERC). The cost for this 5 hour course is $85.
