Wisconsin motorcycle rules to know
A Wisconsin Cycle Instruction Permit (CYCI) is valid for 6 months. If you have already held three CYCIs, you must complete, or be enrolled in, a basic rider course before you can get a fourth.
Wisconsin Motorcyclists' Handbook, page 8You must be at least 16 to get a cycle instruction permit in Wisconsin. Riders under 18 also need a parent or guardian sponsor, proof of driver education and proof of enrollment in a basic rider course.
Wisconsin Motorcyclists' Handbook, page 8Applicants under 18 must enroll in (and pay for) a basic rider course and bring the provider's proof of enrollment to the DMV. The only exemptions are for applicants who live more than 50 road miles from a course site or already hold a valid motorcycle license from another jurisdiction.
Wisconsin Motorcyclists' Handbook, page 8After three CYCIs, Wisconsin requires you to successfully complete, or be enrolled in, a basic rider course before getting a fourth. The only exception is for people who live more than 50 road miles from a course site. The rule stops riders from staying on a permit for years without proper training.
Wisconsin Motorcyclists' Handbook, page 8A Wisconsin permit holder may ride after dark only when accompanied by a licensed person who is at least 25, has at least two years of licensed driving experience and holds a Class M license. That person does not have to ride as your passenger, but must be nearby.
Wisconsin Motorcyclists' Handbook, page 9Wisconsin requires approved helmets (U.S. DOT standard at minimum) for operators and passengers under 18 and for anyone riding on a cycle instruction permit, whatever their age. The chin strap must be fastened. Helmets are highly recommended for everyone else because they reduce head and neck injuries.
