It is a legal requirement to gain a CBT certificate to ride any motorcycle or scooter on the road. However If you obtained your full car licence before Feb 2001 you can ride a moped up to 50cc without having to take a CBT course.
Upon successful completion it entitles you to ride up to 50cc if aged 16, or up to 125cc if 17 and over. You may not carry passengers or ride on a motorway. You must display an L Plate on the front and rear of your motorcycle.
A theory test certificate is not required to take your CBT. However, a good understanding of the Highway Code is essential before embarking on your training and we recommend completing the Ride Free course before attending for your CBT
A CBT certificate is valid for 2 years.
You can renew your CBT before the expiry date.
The CBT course has five elements:
a. Introduction, kit and equipment
b. Practical onsite training
c. Practical onsite riding
d. On road training - Theory
e. Practical on road riding
When you ride on the road your instructor will be in radio contact with you at all times. No more than 2 students will be taken out with one instructor. This link will take you to the Official DVSA CBT video
CBTs are generally completed in one day, however your instructor may determine that you require further training to complete the course to a satisfactory standard. Your instructor will advise you if this is the case.
