What endorsement is needed for a three-wheeled motorcycle?

• A. A standard motorcycle endorsement
• B. A restricted endorsement that allows you to operate ONLY three-wheeled vehicles
• C. No endorsement is needed
• D. A car driver's license

Answer: (B)

In Oregon, licensing for motorcycles is based on the specific vehicle category you’re allowed to ride. A three-wheeled motorcycle is treated as a motorcycle, but the rules often require a restricted endorsement that explicitly limits you to operating only three-wheeled vehicles. This specialized endorsement ensures you’re authorized for that exact vehicle type and isn’t the same as a standard motorcycle endorsement, which covers traditional two-wheeled bikes. A car driver’s license doesn’t grant motorcycle privileges, and having no endorsement would not legally permit riding. If you ever want to ride two-wheeled motorcycles, you’d need to obtain the standard motorcycle endorsement or upgrade your restrictions accordingly.
