Massachusetts issues motorcycle (class M) permits and licenses to those over the age of 16 who have not had a driver’s license revoked. Those with a Class M permit are not permitted to carry passengers and may only drive during daylight hours. Those over 18 with a valid Class M permit may apply for a Class M license. Those 16 ½ and older who have successfully completed all JOL requirements and the Massachusetts Rider Education Program (MREP) may also apply with parental consent.
