Oregon motorcycle rules
| Rule | In Oregon |
|---|---|
| Minimum age | 16, with a valid Oregon driver license (parent or guardian consent if under 18) |
| Helmet and eye protection | Universal helmet law: every operator and passenger on a motorcycle, moped or unenclosed autocycle must wear a DOT-compliant helmet. Face and eye protection is strongly recommended but the manual lists it as a should, not a must. oregon.gov |
| Rider training course | TEAM OREGON is the only approved rider education provider, and anyone getting a first endorsement without a valid out-of-state motorcycle license must complete a course. The Basic Course (16+) waives both the knowledge and skills tests; the Basic Online Classroom (16+) and Intermediate courses (21+) waive only the skills test. oregon.gov |
| Skills test waiver | Required; waives tests |
