The Colorado Rockies are like a playground for motorcycle enthusiasts. Riders have many roads to explore, including the Trail Ridge Road and the Million Dollar Highway. Although these famous routes offer amazing views of the surrounding mountains, they are also quite difficult for beginners to navigate. Riding at high altitudes can be tough. Here, the air is thinner, and your motorcycle might not run as well as expected. Becoming a safe and responsible driver in the Grand Canyon State is a long process that starts with the learning phase, where you’ll study the various aspects of riding theory. Before you can practice and gain experience on two wheels, you must pass the official motorcycle knowledge exam if you are under 18 or choose not to enroll in a Motorcycle Operator Safety Training (MOST) course. The knowledge test consists of 30 multiple-choice questions based on the official DMV motorcycle operator manual (Colorado Motorcycle Manual).

Get familiar with the content and format of the official knowledge exam with our DMV motorcycle permit practice tests. Use this intuitive tool to master the material through consistency and repetition. Start today and dedicate the following weeks to your studies. Each practice test has been updated for February 2025 and has 30 multiple-choice questions. Each question has multiple answer choices, but only one is correct. For your convenience, we have omitted a timer so you can practice at your own pace. Read every question carefully and avoid rushing. Mistakes are more common when you’re not paying attention to the questions. We recommend practicing with our motorcycle permit practice tests in a distraction-free environment where you won’t be disturbed.

Adjust the font size to your preference by using the slider on the left side of the page. Make the text bigger or smaller until it becomes easier to read. To avoid digital eye strain, don’t forget to take frequent breaks. Studying shouldn’t feel like a chore, especially when it’s about building the foundation for a lifelong skill. If your wireless mouse runs out of battery charge during a training session, you don’t have to lose your progress and restart the practice test. Instead, use the “Shift + ?” key combination to display a list of keyboard shortcuts to quickly progress through the rest of the test.
