If you are interested in learing to ride, we can help.
King's Cross Scooters has a special relationship with the A 2 Z Rider Training School in Islington and can help you arrange for training. |
 Please contact us if you wish to participate.
Here are some general things you should understand: |
|
| C.B.T (Compulsory Basic Training) |
Full Licence |
| You must hold a CBT training certificate before you can
be a learner on a moped or scooter.
The only exception
to this rule is if you passed your UK car test before
1/2/01 you are automatically entitled to ride a 50cc
moped without L-plates and without taking CBT {although
it is strongly" recommended that you do.}
At age 16 a
CBT certificate will allow you to ride up to a 50cc moped
and from 17 years up to a 125cc achine.
CBT valid for
2 years no passengers or motorways allowed. |
A full licence will allow you to dispose of "L" plates, use larger machines, carry a passenger and if over 50cc use motorways. |
| A 1 Light Licence |
| Test machine size 75cc-125cc. If you take a practical test on such a machine this will result in a full licence to ride a machine of 125cc maximum. |
| A2 Standard Licence |
| Test machine size 120cc -125cc {must be capable of at least 62mph} Taking a practical test on such a machine will result in full licence, for the first 2 years a rider will be restricted to machines of max 33bhp, after the 2 years the licence would be upgraded to an unrestricted licence without further test. |
| Motorcycle Theory Test |
Direct Access |
| A separate motorcycle theory test must be passed prior
to a practical test {not necessary if just doing CBT} please ask for advice on what books to study and how to book your theory test. |
If your 21 or over you may train and pass a practical
motorcycle test on a 46bhp 500cc Motorcycle. |
