Correct Answer:

After the engine is started

Explanation:

A passenger should mount the motorcycle before the engine is started. This practice ensures that both the rider and the passenger are settled and balanced on the motorcycle before any movement occurs. Mounting the motorcycle after the engine is started can be dangerous because the rider may be distracted by the running engine, and there is an increased risk of the motorcycle rolling or moving unexpectedly. Additionally, it is important for safety reasons that both the rider and passenger establish their positions and balance on the motorcycle while it is stationary, allowing the rider to securely control the bike without the added complexity of managing a passenger during the starting process.
