Do you Need a Motorcycle License for an Autocycle in Florida?

Florida 3 Wheel Motorcycle License Test

In order to get a trike motorcycle license, you’ll need to complete a rider education course. 

If you complete an approved motorcycle training course, you will waive your testing requirements with the FLHSMV. 

A 3-wheel basic rider course will add an S restriction to your license, which limits you to riding 3-wheel motorcycles only. 

Prepare for your DMV tests with our Florida motorcycle permit practice test. 

Be sure to refer to your state’s motorcycle operator handbook and the 3-wheel motorcycle supplement from MSF.
