Getting your rider licence is simple, quick, and surprisingly affordable.    #### **TIME** The learner course is 7 hours held over 2 days (3 1/2 hours each day).   #### **COST** The course is heavily subsidised by NSW government and typically costs only around $150.   **Here are the steps:**   ##### **Step 1** Complete your **Pre-Learner Motorcycle Course** by selecting one of the authorised training centres below: - [Book Here for Botany](https://www.stayupright.com.au/event-template-nsw/?eventtemplate=135-NSW-RMS-Pre-Learner-Course-(2-half-days)) and other Sydney locations - [Book Here for St Ives](https://hart.securewebsite.com.au/course/?_ga=2.251431046.1846768749.1589768417-691466036.1589768417) and other Sydney locations - [Book Here for Regional NSW](http://wheelskills.com.au/index.php/rider-training/) ##### **Step 2** Take your **Pre-Learner Course Certificate** to Service NSW and complete the **DKT (Driver Knowledge Test)**. - This is a simple multiple-choice test - You can **[book online here](https://www.myrta.com/wps/portal/extvp/myrta/licence/tbs/tbs-login/!ut/p/b1/04_SjzQzt7SwNDQ1MdeP0I_KSyzLTE8syczPS8wB8aPM4g08XAPCQo3MDS2MTV0MPN2czZ0M_QMMDZwNgQoiQQpwAEcDQvq99KOS8vOzHUNSi0t88tMz8_TD9aPwavI2RldgEOxpZuDpFBrmH-ZobGgRQkCBuxlcAW5n-3nk56bq50blWGRneuoCAA_kQIE!/dl4/d5/L2dBISEvZ0FBIS9nQSEh/)** - There’s also a practice test available to help you prepare ➡️ Here's the [online practice test](https://driverpracticetest.transport.nsw.gov.au/pages/practice-tests?init=true)   ##### Step 3 – Ride as a Learner  Once you pass your DKT, you’ll receive your Learner Rider Licence (L’s) and can ride on the road by yourself. At this stage: - You must display L plates - You must ride at 90 km/h max - You must have zero alcohol -  You can ride FONZ models (all are LAMS approved)  #####  Step 4 – Move to Provisional (P’s) After holding your learner licence for at least 3 months, you can progress to your Provisional Rider Licence (P1) by completing the Rider Proficiency Test (MOST). On your P’s: - You can ride unsupervised -  Speed limit is 90 km/h (P1) and 100 km/h (P2)  - Still restricted to LAMS-approved bikes - Gradually fewer restrictions as you progress **Tip:** Book the Provisional as soon as its available to you, the whole process moves a lot quicker that way #### ** Why it’s worth it** Once you’ve done it, it’s done for life. No re-sitting, no ongoing hassle. And because the system is so well structured in NSW, you’ll actually learn how to ride properly - not just pass a test. **Bonus:** having a motorcycle licence can also help with travel insurance coverage when riding overseas (think Italy, Vietnam, Bali… not a bad perk 😉). Getting your licence is one of the easiest barriers to clear - and it opens up a whole new way to move around the city. If you’re even thinking about it, just book the course. You’ll be surprised how straightforward it is. - [Electric Incentives & Benefits](https://support.fonzmoto.com/knowledge/electric-incentives-benefits?hsLang=en) - [Arthur & Z Series Owner's Guide](https://support.fonzmoto.com/knowledge/arthur-z-series-owners-guide?hsLang=en) - [NKD Owner's Guide](https://support.fonzmoto.com/knowledge/nkd-owners-guide?hsLang=en) - [Vehicle Service, Care & Owner Support](https://support.fonzmoto.com/knowledge/vehicle-service-care-owner-support?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Vehicle Servicing](https://support.fonzmoto.com/knowledge/vehicle-service-care-owner-support?hsLang=en#vehicle-servicing) - [Vehicle & Powerpack care](https://support.fonzmoto.com/knowledge/vehicle-service-care-owner-support?hsLang=en#vehicle-powerpack-care) - [Troubleshooting concerns](https://support.fonzmoto.com/knowledge/vehicle-service-care-owner-support?hsLang=en#troubleshooting-concerns) - [Support](https://support.fonzmoto.com/knowledge/vehicle-service-care-owner-support?hsLang=en#support) - [Ownership & FAQs](https://support.fonzmoto.com/knowledge/ownership-faqs?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Common questions](https://support.fonzmoto.com/knowledge/ownership-faqs?hsLang=en#common-questions) - [Placing and order](https://support.fonzmoto.com/knowledge/ownership-faqs?hsLang=en#placing-and-order) - [Licensing & Registration](https://support.fonzmoto.com/knowledge/ownership-faqs?hsLang=en#licensing-registration) - [Range & Performance](https://support.fonzmoto.com/knowledge/ownership-faqs?hsLang=en#range-performance) - [Charging options](https://support.fonzmoto.com/knowledge/ownership-faqs?hsLang=en#charging-options) - [Warranty](https://support.fonzmoto.com/knowledge/ownership-faqs?hsLang=en#warranty) - [Community Guidelines](https://support.fonzmoto.com/knowledge/ownership-faqs?hsLang=en#community-guidelines) [![FONZ](https://support.fonzmoto.com/hs-fs/hubfs/FONZ-stacked-1.png?width=60&height=60&name=FONZ-stacked-1.png "FONZ")](http://fonzmoto.com) fonzmoto.com Knowledge Centre Copyright © 2026, FONZ HQ
