The New Hampshire motorcycle knowledge test is the written exam you must pass to earn your motorcycle permit or licence from the New Hampshire Division of Motor Vehicles. Score 20 of 25 correct (80%) to pass. Every question in this practice test is drawn from the official New Hampshire Motorcycle Operator Manual — the same source the real exam is built from.
The exam covers the core riding topics New Hampshire expects every rider to know: motorcycle controls, protective gear and the helmet law, lane positioning, turning and swerving, braking, hazard awareness, riding on slippery surfaces, carrying passengers and cargo, the effects of alcohol, and handling emergencies on two wheels.
This simulator gives you exam-style questions five at a time, scores you instantly, and explains every answer with a reference back to the New Hampshire motorcycle manual. To get the most out of it:
One New Hampshire rule worth knowing before test day: New Hampshire requires riders under 18 to wear a helmet. Older riders may legally ride without one.
Source: Some test details are confirmed by the state agency; the rest reflect the consensus of major rider-education sources. The NH DMV states all knowledge exams require 80%; the 25-question count is third-party consensus. The supplied manual is the generic MSF Motorcycle Operator Manual (17th Edition) with NH covers, so riding content is from the manual and NH-specific legal facts (helmet/eye law, under-21 BAC, endorsement/permit, fees) are from NH RSA 265:120-123 / 265-A:2 and the NH DMV.
