Every person who operates a motor vehicle on the highways of the State of Alabama must first secure a driver license. Alabama law recognizes two classes of engine-equipped cycles: 1. Motorcycle is defined as a motor vehicle having a seat or saddle for the use of the rider and designed to travel on not more than three wheels in contact with the ground, but excluding a tractor. 2. Motor-Driven Cycle is defined as every motorcycle, including every motor scooter, with a motor which produces not to exceed five brake horse-power nor to exceed 150 cubic centimeter engine displacement and weighs less than 200 pounds fully equipped, and every bicycle with motor attached. A person who has attained the age of 16 and who has been issued a class M driver license may operate either a motorcycle or motor-driven cycle. A person who is at least 14 years of age may apply for a restricted license to operate a motor-driven cycle only. Under Alabama law, a moped is considered a motor-driven cycle. The parent of guardian of any child shall not authorize or knowingly permit the child to violate any provision of the code regulating the operation of motorcycles or motor-driven cycles. Once a 14-year-old is licensed to operate a motor-driven cycle, the license is valid for a four-year period for that class vehicle. The "Class M" must appear on the license in order to operate the cycle. Restriction "B" (motor-driven cycle - 5 horsepower or smaller - for ages 14 and 15 only) will then apply. At age 16, the applicant may return to the driver license examining office and transfer to a motorcycle class license without the size restrictions.
