3-wheel motorcycles (Class 6E)
To obtain a Class 6E licence, which authorizes you to ride 3-wheel motorcycles, you must hold a Class 5 licence and complete a driving course.
To drive a 3-wheel motorcycle
You must:
- hold a valid Class 6A, 6B or 6C probationary or regular motorcycle driver's licence
OR
- hold a valid Class 5 and Class 6E (3-wheel motorcycle) driver's licence
You do not need to hold a motorcycle licence to drive 3-wheel T-Rex- or Slingshot-type vehicles. A valid Class 5 driver’s licence allows you to operate such vehicles.
A motorcycle that does not have a side-car and that:
- is designed to move on 3 wheels in contact with the ground
- is designed so that its wheels remain perpendicular to the road in curves
- is equipped with seats that the riders must straddle
- does not have a structure partially or entirely concealing the driver and passenger, except the part in front of the driver and the seat backrest
Holders of a Class 6E licence are also authorized to drive 2-wheel motorcycles on which a conversion kit—composed of a metal structure and of a pair of auxiliary wheels aligned on the axle of the motorcycle’s back wheel—has been installed.
Note that the definition of a 3-wheel motorcycle for rating purposes may differ.
