In Pennsylvania, the legal age for a child to be a passenger on a motorcycle is at least 8 years old. Additionally, the child must wear a properly fitted helmet and be able to reach the footpegs of the motorcycle. It's essential for the motorcycle operator to have a valid motorcycle license and to ensure the passenger's safety while riding.

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.

How old do you have to be to be a passenger on a motorcycle in Louisiana?

If your state has seatbelt safety regulations for children, it will probably have a legal age requirement for the youth to be a passenger on the motorcycle. In Most states with regulation on the age of your passenger, the legal age requirement for passengers is 13, however some are lower, going down to 5 years of age. According to American Motorcyclists (http://home.ama-cycle.org/amaccess/laws/result.asp?state=la): Louisiana stae law requires your passenger to be at least 5 years of age, have accessible footpegs for the child, A passenger seat with backrest, a visor for the child EVEN IF you have a windshield. These are required only for road use. For off road use, the only requirement is for the child to be wearing protective headgear and for them to be registered as a user of the vehicle unless using the vehicle for racing OHMs and street registered OHMs.
