Tennessee motorcycle license basics
Tennessee motorcycle credentials vary according to the rider’s age, existing driver license and the motorcycle’s engine size. Always verify the latest requirements with Tennessee Driver Services before applying.
Class M-Limited
Tennessee uses the Class M-Limited classification for qualifying motor-driven cycles in the 51cc through 125cc range.
Motorcycle Learner Permit
The permit available to qualifying 15-year-olds has restrictions involving engine size, passengers, operating hours, distance from home and interstate use.
Testing Requirements
Depending on the applicant, licensing may involve a vision screening, motorcycle knowledge exam, pre-trip inspection and on-cycle road skills test.
Course-completion and testing-waiver rules depend on whether the rider completed an approved Tennessee Motorcycle Rider Education Program or an eligible out-of-state Motorcycle Safety Foundation course.
