Getting Your Manitoba Motorcycle Learners - Class 6L

The Manitoba motorcycle handbook contains all the information you need to learn about Manitoba road signs and rules. Learning and understanding this information will help you prepare for the Class 6 supplementary knowledge test on how to safely operate a motorcycle.

Manitoba Motorcycle Handbook

After spending a decent amount of time studying the information in the Manitoba motorcycle handbook, make sure you go through all of our Manitoba class 5 practice knowledge tests, and the MB Class 6 learners practice test. These tests are designed to mimic the actual test, and really help Manitoba riders learn the road signs and road rules needed to safely drive a motorcycle in Manitoba.

You must schedule a motorcycle knowledge test appointment. Some key points to keep in mind

• Appointments can be scheduled from May 1 to Oct 30 on any weekday (there are no appointments available on weekends except in the city of Winnipeg)
• You must coordinate with an Autopac agent to pay the required fee and schedule a test appointment
• Test appointments can be scheduled up to 8 weeks in advance
• You can indicate your preferred language when scheduling your appointment

Book Your Manitoba Knowledge Test

• The Manitoba written knowledge test is designed to ensure new riders have a sound understanding of road signs and rules
• You must check in a minimum of 15 minutes in advance of your appointment time
• No books, cellular phones or other electronic devices are allowed in the test area
• The test is marked on the spot and you will immediately know if you have passed or failed
• The best way to guarantee that you will pass on the first attempt is to thoroughly study the Manitoba motorcycle handbook and practice lots of knowledge tests (Manitoba Class 6 learners practice test, and Manitoba Class 5 practice knowledge tests)

Depending on the situation, in order to ensure every new rider is physically able to ride a motorcycle, a medical report could be requested.

In addition to the knowledge test, you will be required to pass a vision test.

It's always a good idea to arrive at least 30 minutes in advance of your knowledge test appointment.

When applying for any Manitoba licence, you will need to show supporting documentations that will prove the following:

• Birth date
• Full legal name
• Photograph
• Manitoba residence and permanent address
• Entitlement to be in Canada

Acceptable Manitoba Identity Documents

Make sure you bring along any vision aids like glasses or contacts to the test.

You will be required to pay the knowledge test fee when you originally book your knowledge test appointment with an Autopac insurance agent. Manitoba insurance is mandatory.

Manitoba Licensing Fees

If you fail the Manitoba motorcycle learners knowledge test, you must wait for seven days before being allowed to take the test again.

Once you've passed the Manitoba motorcycle learners knowledge test, you will be issued a Class 6 (M stage) licence, which will allow you to operate a motorcycle during a motorcycle training course. The motorcycle training course is a ministry approved, one-day practice course that teaches new motorists basic motorcycle riding skills. After completion of this one-day course,  you can get your Class 6L motorcycle licence.
