Ohio Motorcycle Permit Test exam requirements & cost
Straight from the certifying body — separate from what we charge for the study portal.
The Ohio BMV requires a motorcycle or motor scooter knowledge test for a motorcycle temporary instruction permit; applicants must be at least 15 years and six months old. Adults holding a valid Ohio driver license may take the knowledge test online through BMV Online Services; others test at a driver exam station. The BMV does not publish the number of questions, time limit or passing score; this portal's practice set has 25 questions, which is our own design. The Ohio BMV does not publish a passing score for the motorcycle knowledge test, so this guide does not state one. The practice set here is a study tool, not a prediction of your result. The temporary instruction permit is bought at a deputy registrar license agency after you pass; confirm the current fee with the Ohio BMV. You must be at least 15 years and six months old and show proof of name, date of birth and Social Security number; after passing, buy the permit at a deputy registrar within 60 days.
