Training
and Licensing for a 16 year old:
You may only ride a 50cc Motorbike or Scooter restricted
to 30mph (classified as a moped)
You will need to apply for a provisional moped license and
take Compulsory Basic Training (CBT). The CBT must be taken
by anyone wishing to ride a motorbike or scooter on the
public roads. The courses, which are carried out by an Approved
Training Body, take a day to compete.
The course covers 5 main elements:
1.Learning how to balance on your bike
2.Learning to stop in an emergency
3. Positioning yourself on the road whilst you are riding
4. U turns
5. Safety checks
Once you have competed
the training successfully, you will be issued with a certificate
of validation (DL196). L plates will be required which can
only be removed, once you have completed a theory and practical
test.
Motorbikecrazy will be happy to make all the necessary arrangements
for your CBT training and can include the cost in your package.

year old +/ No car license:
There are two types of license available, a provisional
moped license for up to 50cc and a provisional motorcycle
license which will allow you, to ride motorbikes up to 125cc.
Once you have successfully completed the CBT training you
will be able to ride on the road displaying L plates. Motorbikecrazy
will be happy to make all the necessary arrangements for
