Which motorcycle license fits your age
Both are valid for four years. If you apply for a motor-driven cycle license and a learner license together, you take both exams.
| Age | License | What it allows |
|---|---|---|
| 14 or 15 | Class M with a B restriction | A motor-driven cycle of no more than 200 pounds and 150cc |
| 16 or older | Class M | A motorcycle, on up to three wheels |
Is there an official Alabama motorcycle license practice test?
No. ALEA's manuals page has the Motorcycle License Manual, updated in 2024, but no practice quiz. Read it with a notebook and quiz yourself on its numbers. You can also pick up a printed copy at a driver license examining office, a state trooper office, or a probate judge or license commissioner office.
Fees
A motor-driven cycle license is $5 for the test and $36.25 for the license, as of October 2026. ALEA's fee page doesn't list a separate Class M price, and its pages we checked don't describe a motorcycle skills test, so ask the office what applies to you when you book.
