Can Am Class Monday

[dondje]

For some reason the class isnt available in ohio

Does Ohio require a (3) wheel endorsement. In Washington State, the Can-Am course is offered in conjunction with the State (both help cover cost), to provide safety training, and written and driving test that (upon successful completion) gets the participant their endorsement. My daughter starts hers' tomorrow - $49.

That's a good price. I know that many states allow you to operate a three wheeler with a motorcycle endorsement on your driver's permit. I guess some will allow you JUST a three wheel endorsement rather than making you obtain a two wheel permit. I guess three wheel vehicles confuse the uninformed and they do not know how to provide for them yet. Personally, I do not see much reasoning to assume that operating a three wheeler is that much different in rules than a four wheeler. Rules of the road are still much the same. Two wheelers have different rules and it does take a bit of concentration and a different learning curve to operate them. Just my opinion.

Ohio requires a regular Motorcycle permit followed by a drivers test. If you take the test on a two wheeler- you have a license for 2 or 3 wheelers... if you take the test on a three wheeler you only get a motorcycle license for three wheelers. The state offers a motorcycle safety course that is part classroom and part riding. It is very educational and only costs $50 and if you pass you just take your form to the DMV and get your license.. but they only offer it for two wheeled vehicles with a clutch. So if you don't want to learn to ride two wheels or can't then your only option is to get the permit and then buy or borrow a three wheeler to learn on and take the test with. The problem is if you just want to try one out there is no option in Ohio unless you already have a motorcycle license.

I ran into the same issue here in Virginia. The three wheeled riding course proved to be a good option if for no other reason than getting time in the saddle.
