Restricted motorcycle (RE) licence

Before you begin

Find out if you're eligible for a restricted motorcycle licence.

Find the steps you need to get your licence to ride a Learner Approved Motorcycle Scheme (LAMS) approved motorcycle (R-E class), from getting your learner’s permit to driving on your P plates.

A LAMS approved motorcycle has:

  • a power-to-weight ratio up to 150 kilowatts per tonne (kW/t)
  • an engine capacity up to 660cc; or
  • may be powered by an electric powered engine with a power output up to 25kW.

Western Australia currently uses the New South Wales LAMS list, which is available on the Transport for NSW website. A search tool is available to help you check whether a motorcycle is approved.

Moved from overseas or interstate?

You may have to apply to have your learner's permit recognised in WA.
