Frequently Asked Questions

Colorado Motorcycle Test — Common Questions

Everything you need to know before taking your Colorado motorcycle knowledge test.

The Colorado motorcycle knowledge test typically has 25 multiple-choice questions. You must answer at least 20 correctly — a score of 80% — to pass. Questions are based on the Colorado Motorcycle Operator Manual.

Colorado does not require riders 18 and older to wear a helmet. Under C.R.S. 42-4-1502, only riders and passengers under 18 are legally required to wear a DOT-approved helmet. Helmet use is optional but strongly recommended for adult riders.

Yes. Unlike the age-based helmet law, eye protection is required for ALL motorcycle operators and passengers in Colorado, regardless of age. A windshield is not considered adequate eye protection — riders need goggles, glasses, or a face shield.

No. Lane splitting is illegal in Colorado under C.R.S. 42-4-1007. However, two motorcycles are permitted to share, or "co-ride," within a single lane.

No. Colorado does not issue a standalone motorcycle license. Instead, riders add a Class M endorsement to their existing driver's license, either by passing the written and road tests or by completing an approved motorcycle safety course.

Yes. Completing an approved foundational rider training course and earning a certificate can substitute for the road (skills) test when applying for the Class M endorsement.

A motorcycle must have a separate seat and footrests for a passenger, and the passenger must use the footrests. Passengers ride on the seat behind the operator or to the side in a sidecar — never in front of the rider.

No. Passing or overtaking a vehicle within the same lane is illegal in Colorado. A motorcyclist must use a full lane change to pass, the same as any other motor vehicle.

Clinging refers to a rider attaching their motorcycle to another vehicle — for example, grabbing on to be towed. This is prohibited under Colorado traffic law.

The test covers areas such as licensing and the M endorsement process, helmet and eye protection laws, lane position and passing rules, passenger requirements, hazardous conditions common to Colorado's mountain roads, and general safe-riding practices like the SEE strategy and space cushions.

Yes. All 25 practice questions are fully mobile-friendly with no app download and no sign-up required. Tap an answer to get instant feedback and a detailed explanation of the correct answer and the relevant Colorado law.
