How the motorcycle license (MC körkort) works in Uppsala Arlanda
Step 1 – Körkortstillstånd
You will need a valid körkortstillstånd (grupp 1) to learn to drive a motorcycle and take your exams. It’s the same körkortstillstånd that you need for your car license and it is valid for 5 years.
Step 2 – Study theory
You will need to pass a theory exam as part of your MC license. Your knowledge must cover all car-related theory plus additional knowledge about motorcycles. You will use the app Körkort Nu to cover all the knowledge needed, which is only in Swedish!

Step 3 – Let’s ride
Practice riding 1-on-1 with our fabulous MC instructors. We will start you off with 5 lessons, which should be enough for many students. If you need additional MC lessons after this time, these can be purchased for an additional cost.
Don’t forget to also book Manöverbana sessions, to practice on a specialised track without any traffic.
Step 4 – Risk 1 & Risk 2
Just like car licenses, you will be required to complete a Risk 1 theoretical course and a Risk 2 practical course before your MC exams. These are mandatory and are hosted at Gillinge trafikövningsplats. These are currently only offered in Swedish!!!
Step 5 – Nail your exams!
First, you will be required to pass your theory exam, which covers both car and motorcycle related knowledge. Once passed, you have 12 months to pass your motorcycle riding exam. Your riding exam will cover low speed manoeuvres, high speed driving and braking. You will use our motorbike for this, and your instructor will accompany you to the exam. Exams are only offered in Swedish!!
Step 6 – Clear your calendar!
Because you’ll be zooming around the country roads on your cool motorcycle as a fully-licensed rider! Congrats on getting your motorcycle license!
