A motorcycle also needs to have at least one horn capable of emitting sound a minimum of 200 feet.  Riders are encouraged to equip motorcycles with both hand and foot brakes.

Seats and footrests are also required for motorcycle operators.  Arizona encourages motorcyclists to use their headlights on high beams during daylight hours in order to maximize their visibility. A motorcyclist can use a modulating headlight during the day when the light modulates a minimum of 200 cycles per minute.","@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/arizona-motorcycle-laws\/#Answer"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question1","text":"Arizona law requires all motorcycle operators and passengers under 18 years of age to wear a protective helmet.
