The Malta motorcycle theory exam at a glance

The Malta motorcycle theory test is Transport Malta's theory test for a moped or motorcycle licence in categories AM, A1, A2 and A, taken on a touch-screen computer at the Theory Test Centre. Transport Malta gives the theory test as 35 multiple-choice questions in 45 minutes, with 30 correct to pass, in English or Maltese. Malta's driving licence regulations add compulsory questions for motorcycle categories on protective clothing and helmets, how visible riders are, slippery surfaces such as drain covers and road markings, and the engine cut-out switch, oil and chain. For category AM the theory test is the whole test; for A1, A2 and A a practical test follows.

How It Works

Train by Topic

Four training sets cover gear and machine checks, control and road position, being seen and road surfaces, and licences, passengers and safe riding. Questions you miss come back until you have mastered them.

Real-Length Mock Tests

Five 35-question tests with 30 to pass, the length and pass mark Transport Malta gives for the theory test. No question repeats across tests, and every answer explains the rule and the common wrong pick.

Built for Riders in Malta

Malta's driving licence regulations list what the motorcycle theory test must check: protective clothing and helmets, how visible riders are to others, slippery surfaces such as drain covers and road markings, and the engine cut-out switch, oil and chain. Every question follows Malta's own rules for left-hand traffic, the licence categories and the law on passengers and helmets. Transport Malta does not publish how many questions come from each topic, so these per-test counts are Tigertest's. Pictures are described in words.

How to Pass the Malta Motorcycle Theory Test

1. Learn the rider-only topics first

The questions a car driver never sees are the ones that catch riders out: helmet fit and care, protective clothing, the engine cut-out switch, chain and oil checks, carrying a passenger and how to park a motorcycle. Master these before the general road rules.

2. Think about grip

Many questions come back to how much grip your two tyres have: braking before a bend, keeping off drain covers and painted lines, the first rain after a dry spell, diesel at roundabouts and sand on coast roads. If an answer asks a tyre for grip while leaning, it is usually wrong.

3. Ride as if no one has seen you

Drivers often look straight at a motorcycle and still pull out. Expect it at junctions and roundabouts, choose a position where you can be seen, and do not take a flash of headlights as an invitation.

4. Aim above 30

With only five mistakes allowed, read every word, especially "not" and "first". Aim for 33 or more in every mock test, drill the questions you missed, then take all five tests before your test day.

Malta Motorcycle Theory Test Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Malta motorcycle theory test like?

It is Transport Malta's theory test, taken on a touch-screen computer at the Theory Test Centre. Transport Malta gives the theory test as 35 multiple-choice questions in 45 minutes, with 30 correct answers needed to pass. For motorcycle categories the law adds compulsory questions on protective clothing and helmets, being seen by other road users, slippery surfaces such as drain covers and road markings, and checks on the engine cut-out switch, oil and chain.

Which licence categories does it cover?

Category AM covers mopeds, light quadricycles and electric kick scooters. A1 covers motorcycles up to 125 cc and 11 kW, A2 motorcycles up to 35 kW, and A any motorcycle. For category AM the theory test is the whole driving test; for A1, A2 and A you then take the practical test on your learner's permit.

Who can sit the theory test?

Malta's driving licence regulations allow the theory test from age 18, or from 16 for category AM, and you apply with a learner's permit. The minimum age to ride an A2 or A motorcycle on a learner's permit is higher, so check Transport Malta's current rules for your category before you book.

Can I take the test in English?

Yes. Transport Malta offers the theory test in English or Maltese and publishes its theory material in both languages. Malta drives on the left, so the questions assume left-hand traffic, clockwise roundabouts and overtaking on the right.

Are these the real test questions?

No. Every question is original, written by Tigertest from Malta's driving licence and motor vehicle regulations, so it tests the same knowledge without copying the official question bank. Pictures are described in words, so study the Highway Code's illustrations too. Tigertest is free practice and is not affiliated with Transport Malta, and it does not book or replace your test.

Malta motorcycle theory sample questions and answers

6 of the 200 practice questions, one from each topic, with the answer explained.

1. What do worn brake pads usually cause?
- A.Lighter, quicker steering
- B.Longer stopping distances
- C.Better grip in the rain
- D.A quieter running engine
Answer: B. Worn pads reduce braking and can damage the discs. Check them as part of regular maintenance.
2. You are riding on a narrow road and need to stop quickly. Where should you look?
- A.Down at your front tyre
- B.At the speedometer
- C.Behind you in the mirror
- D.Ahead, not at the ground
Answer: D. Keep your head up and eyes ahead. Looking down makes it harder to keep the motorcycle straight and upright.
3. Your passenger only has a cycling helmet. May they ride with you?
- A.No, a crash helmet is needed
- B.Yes, on short trips in town
- C.Yes, if you stay below 50 km/h
- D.Yes, any helmet will do
Answer: A. The law requires a crash helmet for anyone carried on a motorcycle. A cycling helmet is not built for motorcycle impacts.
4. Your licence shows a condition that you must wear corrective lenses. When does this apply?
- A.Only on the main roads
- B.Only on long trips
- C.Every time you ride
- D.Only after dark
Answer: C. A licence states the conditions on which you may drive or ride. A condition such as corrective lenses applies on every journey.
5. You plan a long trip with a full top box. What should you check in the top box handbook?
- A.Its price when new
- B.Its colour code
- C.Its maximum load
- D.Its warranty date
Answer: C. Top boxes and racks have a weight limit. Heavy loads high and behind the rear wheel make the front feel light.
6. A cyclist ahead is riding slowly on a narrow road. How should you pass?
- A.With as much room as a car
- B.Squeezing past closely
- C.Sounding the horn and passing
- D.On the left, by the kerb
Answer: A. Give a cyclist as much room as you would give a car, and pass only when you can see the road ahead is clear.
