How to get a motorcycle license in 2025 – everything you need to know

Spring is almost here and it’s time to start planning for your motorcycle season 2025. For those of you who do not yet have a motorcycle license but dream of cruising on two wheels, we have compiled a guide to help you on your way to your long-awaited motorcycle license. We cover everything from applying for a license to the driving test, and provide tips on what to consider regarding equipment.

Step 1: Apply for a driving permit

Before you can start your motorcycle journey, you need a valid driving permit. Here’s how to do it:

1. Go to the Transport Agency's website and fill out the application.

2. Book an appointment for a vision test with an optician.

3. Submit the application along with your vision test.

A valid driving permit is valid for 5 years and is required for practicing driving.

Step 2: Practice driving and training

Once you have received your permit, you can start practicing. Follow these steps:

• Private practice driving: If you are going to practice privately, both you and your instructor need to take an instructor course.

• Driving school: Driving schools offer professional guidance and know everything required to pass the driving test.

• Practice driving vest: A reflective vest is mandatory during private practice driving. You can buy Held MC Practice Driving Reflective Vest from us at Gregmoto.

Step 3: Knowledge test and driving test

To obtain your motorcycle license, you need to pass two tests:

1. Knowledge test: A theory test where you demonstrate that you understand traffic rules and motorcycle safety.

2. Driving test: A practical test where you demonstrate your ability to handle the motorcycle.

Tips for success:

• Practice a lot on balance and maneuvering.

• Familiarize yourself with traffic rules and how to handle different traffic situations.

The right equipment – an important investment

Safety and comfort are essential when it comes to motorcycle riding. Here is a list of the equipment you need:

• Helmet: A CE-approved helmet is mandatory.

• Jacket and pants: Motorcycle clothing with protection for shoulders, elbows, and knees.

• Gloves: Gloves with knuckle protection are both comfortable and safe.

• Boots: Motorcycle boots with reinforced soles and ankle protection.

• Reflective vest: Important during practice driving and for increased visibility.
