North Dakota motorcycle rules to know

A North Dakota motorcycle learner's permit is daylight-only: permit riders may not ride after dark, and they may not carry passengers either. The manual notes that at night it is harder for a rider to see and to be seen, which is why new riders are kept off the road after dark until they are licensed. North Dakota Motorcycle Operator Manual, Class M, 2025-2027, page 8
Anyone riding on a North Dakota motorcycle learner's permit may not carry passengers. A passenger changes how the motorcycle accelerates, brakes and turns, which is too much for a rider who is still learning basic control. North Dakota Motorcycle Operator Manual, Class M, 2025-2027, page 8
North Dakota requires operators and passengers under 18 to wear a helmet that meets U.S. Department of Transportation standards, and an adult passenger must also wear one when the operator is under 18. Adult riders are otherwise not required to, but the manual strongly recommends a DOT-compliant helmet because head and neck injuries account for a majority of serious and fatal motorcycle injuries. North Dakota Motorcycle Operator Manual, Class M, 2025-2027, page 7
In North Dakota, if the operator is required to wear a helmet (because they are under 18), every passenger must also wear one, regardless of age. So a young rider's helmet requirement extends to an adult on the back. North Dakota Motorcycle Operator Manual, Class M, 2025-2027, page 7
North Dakota limits 14- and 15-year-old motorcycle operators to motorcycles with a 510 cc engine or smaller. Lighter, less powerful bikes are easier for the youngest riders to control. North Dakota Motorcycle Operator Manual, Class M, 2025-2027, page 7
North Dakota requires you to carry a Class M permit or license whenever you ride a two- or three-wheeled motorcycle. Riding without one brings a $20 fine and a four-point assessment on your driving record, and points add up toward a suspension. North Dakota Motorcycle Operator Manual, Class M, 2025-2027, page 7
