There is no restriction on age for a passenger. Common sense should be used.
18 to ride it
There is no age legal restriction for passengers on motorcycles in New York State.Currently, only two states have an age restriction for motorcycle passengers. NYS crash statistics have shown that the number of child passengers in motorcycle crashes is not significant.While there is no age restriction for passengers on a motorcycle in New York State, there are requirements for motorcycle passengers. Under Section 1251 of NYS Vehicle and Traffic Law, to carry a passenger:The motorcycle must be designed to carry more than one person and the passenger must ride on a permanent seat.The passenger must face forward, with one leg on each side of the seat.The passenger cannot interfere with the operation of the motorcycle or the view of the motorcycle driver.The passenger must wear a motorcycle helmet approved by the US Department of Transportation.Let common sense determine if a child is old enough and big enough to safely ride a motorcycle. Also consider the additional risks faced by motorcycle passengers compared with passengers in a car protected with seat belts or child safety seats. If a child is not large enough to properly wear an approved helmet, then the child cannot legally ride on the motorcycle. If the child cannot place both feet flat on the passenger foot pegs of the motorcycles, then it is not safe for the child to ride the motorcycle.
NO huge risk
There are no passenger age restrictions in Pennsylvania currently.
There is no minimum age for a passenger in California. However, foot pegs must be provided for the passenger and their feet should rest comfortably on them, with both feet touching.

I don't think so. You have to be 15 to drive one after you get your licence.
as long as the child is 5 years or older it is leagle to ride passanger on a motorcycle as long as wearing a proper helment as stated in the law listed below I(2) Until adequate child restraint devices for motorcycles are at some time developed, and then approved for use in this state by the State Commission on Equipment, it is, therefore, illegal for the parent or legal guardian of a child under five years of age to transport that child on his or her motorcycle, just as it would be illegal for them to transport their child in their automobile without an approved device
It is assumed that you are asking if a child can sit between two adults on a motorcycle when the motorcycle is moving. Generally, the answer is "no". This is considered unsafe and may be specifically illegal in many states. Many states have laws permitting no more than two people on a motorcycle. Some states have laws requiring a minimum age to be a passenger on a motorcycle as well as requiring helmets for minors (or adults). If your child is old enough to ride a bicycle, he or she can sit on the motorcycle when it is stationary (for example, if you wish to take photographs). However, if the bike has recently been ridden, take care to ensure the child does not accidentally burn himself/herself on hot engine or exhaust parts.
13 years old. Kids 12 and under are MUCH safer riding in the back seat.
