The Safety Center proudly offers the California Motorcyclist Safety Programs Basic Rider course and Experienced Rider courses. These Programs are designed to teach motorcycle riders the basic and advanced skills that may save their lives while riding on the street.

Under Age 21

In order to get your motorcycle license you must complete the Basic Riding & Street Skills Class. This program costs students under the age of 21, $150.00 in Sacramento. You must successfully complete a driver's education and drivers training program, have a certificate of completion or, a valid class C drivers license or, a valid motorcycle learner's permit (acquired by passing the DMV's written motorcycle test).

If you have ONE of these you are ELIGIBLE to take the Basic Rider course. Then return to the DMV after completing the course to receive your motorcycle license. If you already have a valid class C license you will be given an M1 or M2 endorsement. If you are applying for a motorcycle license only, you will still have to pass the on-street driving test. We offer the Basic Rider course in Sacramento.

Age 21 and Above

Students age 21 and above are not required to take this course in order to receive their motorcycle license. This course is $250.00 for students age 21 and above in Sacramento.

You will need a valid class C drivers license or motorcycle learner's permit to attend the Basic Rider course. Then return to the DMV after completing the course to receive your motorcycle license. If you already have a valid class C license you will be given an M1 or M2 endorsement.
