Do three-wheeled motorcycles have instructional permits?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Only with special authorization
• D. Only if used for racing

Answer: (B)

The key idea here is that instructional permits are intended for learning to ride a two-wheeled motorcycle. Oregon treats three-wheeled motorcycles as a different vehicle category, so there isn’t a separate motorcycle instruction permit for them. To ride a three-wheeled motorcycle legally, you’d need to follow the licensing path that applies to that vehicle class as defined by the DMV, which is not the same as the standard motorcycle instruction permit. In short, three-wheeled motorcycles do not qualify for the motorcycle instructional permit.
