Ohio Requirements (What You Must Know)

Current OH minimums are $25,000/$50,000 bodily injury and $25,000 property damage. We’ll quote higher limits that better fit Oregon’s exposure.
Medical Coverage
Ohio doesn’t provide PIP for motorcycles. Add Medical Payments (MedPay) to help with ER and follow-ups regardless of fault.
Helmet & Eye Protection
OH requires helmets for riders under 18; all riders must wear eye protection unless the bike has a windshield.
Inspection & Lane Splitting
No routine state inspection required, but keep equipment roadworthy. Lane splitting is not permitted in Ohio.
This is a summary. Your policy controls. We’ll review carrier forms and endorsements with you before binding.

Oregon Riding Realities (and How We Insure Around Them)
- Urban traffic & mixed speeds: From I-75 to OH-2, visibility and stopping distance matter-favor higher BI/PD and UM/UIM.
- Theft risk: Garaging and anti-theft devices reduce loss and can help pricing. Pair with higher comprehensive and accessories limits.
- Seasonal weather: Riders should consider lower comp/collision deductibles and roadside for variable conditions.
Getting Your OH Motorcycle Endorsement
Course Path (Recommended)
- Enroll in an approved Basic RiderCourse (BRC)
- Pass the course; bring completion card to BMV
- Add the M endorsement (often no road test needed)
Permit + Testing Path
- Get motorcycle examination permit (knowledge + vision)
- Practice under permit restrictions
- Take BMV road test; add M endorsement
Bike Size & Restrictions
Testing on a very small-displacement bike can trigger a restriction. Completing an approved course typically removes this-ask us if you’re unsure.
