Motorcycle theory course – classes A1, A2 and A
The whole syllabus for the Norwegian motorcycle theory test in 19 chapters and 49 lessons, written for the person in the saddle. Chapter 1 is free with an account.
Written for two wheels
This is not the car course with a new cover. It starts with the classes and the machine, then moves to what is different on two wheels: clothing, forces and balance, low-speed manoeuvring, positioning and cornering, where you look, and grip.
The traffic rules, right of way and the signs are here too, but explained for the motorcycle – bus lanes, parking and overtaking have rules of their own for you.
Read, then practise
Each lesson takes a few minutes and ends with a link to the practice that belongs to it. Total reading time is about 204 minutes.
Chapter 1 – the classes, the training and practice riding – is free with an account. The other 18 chapters are part of full motorcycle access, 149 kr for a week or 299 kr for a month.
