North Carolina is a motorcyclist’s paradise, offering breathtaking scenery and memorable rides. The Blue Ridge Parkway winds through the heart of the state. Its challenging curves will test your skills, requiring beginners to ride with caution. The Tail of the Dragon is a rite of passage for riders in the Tar Heel State, which is known for its strong motorcycle culture. Whether you prefer a classic Harley-Davidson or are more interested in Japanese sports bikes, you must get licensed before you can legally operate a motorcycle.
As you begin your learning phase, you should read the official DMV motorcyclists’ handbook (North Carolina Motorcycle Manual) at least once. The official motorcycle knowledge exam consists of 37 multiple-choice questions based on this manual. To pass, you must score at least 78%. At the DMV office, there’s no room for mistakes. Succeed on your first attempt by preparing in advance with the help of our North Carolina DMV motorcycle permit practice tests. They are designed to help you learn from your mistakes, build confidence, and strengthen your understanding of riding theory.

Each practice test has been updated for December 2025 to reflect the latest changes brought by DMV rules or state law. You must answer 30 questions and score at least 80% to pass. Each question has multiple answer choices, but only one is correct. Did you know that we process information both visually and acoustically? Our voice-over feature adds an auditory element to your studies and enhances the learning process. Once activated from the “Test settings” menu, an artificial voice will read the questions and their answer choices aloud. This function can help students who are easily distracted or find themselves in a busy environment.
Pay attention to the detailed explanation provided with each question. Note it down in a notebook or a notebook app for future reference. This feedback can help struggling students learn from their mistakes as soon as they occur. You don’t have to wait until the end of the practice test to know what went wrong. Start today and train with this intuitive tool for several weeks or until you consistently get passing scores.
