Becoming a Motorcyclist can be a confusing and daunting task.......................

However here at Mayhem we want to take all the stress out of getting you on two wheels.

Let’s get down to basics

Do you want to ride an automatic motorcycle like this?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Or do you want to ride a geared motorcycle like this?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To be eligible to start training you MUST have one of the following

  • A full UK driving licence
  • A provisional UK car licence with provisional motorcycle entitlement
  • Or an EU licence with valid UK counterpart (D58/2)

 

Ride as a learner or get a full bike licence

 

Either way you will need to take the Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) course. If you are happy to just ride as a learner you can simply retake your CBT every 2 years.  If you want to take your bike test you will need to consider the following depending on your age.

 

Age 16: You will only have category P on your licence so you can only ride a moped with a maximum speed of up to 50km/h

Age 17-20: You may only take a restricted (A1/A2) licence

Age 21+: You may have an unrestricted full licence enabling you to ride any bike.

 

Motorcycle Theory Test

 

Before we can book you in for a Module 1 bike test you will need to pass a motorcycle theory test.  This became compulsory for everyone in February 2001 regardless of whether you have a full car licence or not.

CBT

 In 1990, the Government introduced the CBT with the aim of reducing the numbers of incidents involving novice moped and motorcycle riders. The CBT prepares and equips you with basic skills and knowledge required for use on our modern roads.
The CBT is not an exam or test; it is a training course consisting of a number of theoretical and practical elements including a two-hour, instructor supervised road ride.
It is recommended that you familiarise yourself with the Highway Code and arrive suitably dressed for motorcycle training.

If possible wear boots as these give better protection than training shoes. Jeans are better than tracksuits and warm clothing will be required.
If successful you will be issued with a CBT certificate (DL196). This entitles you to the following:
  • 16 years of age you may ride a 50cc moped or scooter.
  • 17 years of age or above you may ride a motorcycle or scooter up to 125cc.
    However, the following restrictions will apply:
  • Visible L-plates front and rear at all times.
  • No motorway usage.
  • No passengers.
  • CBT certificate is valid for two years unless you go on to pass the A2 or DAS course.

We will provide the following for equipment training if you do not have your own :

  • Motorcycle helmet & Radios.
  • Waterproof jacket and waterproof trousers.
  • Protective gloves.
  • Scooter or Geared motorcycle (if required).
  • CBT certificate DL196 on successful completion.
