Basic Rider 3-Wheel Course

CCRI currently offers 3-wheel licensing program. This course is designed to introduce the fundamentals of safe and responsible 3-wheel motorcycle riding, and prepares riders for entry into the complex environment of traffic. A completion certificate will be given for those who successfully pass the test and complete the course. This certificate is needed to apply for the RI State 3-wheel vehicle permit. 

If you are looking to get a 3-wheel license you will need to take the 3-wheel course. The 2-wheel course will only get you a 2- wheel license under RI Law 31-10.1-1. 

This 3-Wheel Basic Rider Course is for anyone seeking a 3-wheel motorcycle license, this course meets the requirement of the state Motorcycle Rider Safety Course. The lecture portion of the course will be ONLINE, and it is recommended that this online portion is taken within 30 days prior to your first range. (Unless otherwise directed by a CCRI administrator). The Range portion of the course will be IN-PERSON. 

The 3-wheel program allows bike sharing for CCRI owned MC’s which means two riders share one bike, exercise is separated into two groups. Currently we have one H-D trike to use as well as three CanAm’s.
