CBT/Motorcycle/Moped License

connors07

Hi, I was looking to get some advice on which license to go for regarding Motorcycles/Mopeds.

I do not hold a full driving license, only a provisional and I have completed one CBT and a renewal course since then which expires quite soon. I can normally get the renewal for around £70-£80. Is there any other kind of Moped test I can do which will mean I don't have to keep renewing it? I only ride a 125cc moped which I use for commuting, I don't think I'll ever get anything bigger than that.

Would getting a full driving license mean that I wouldn't need to keep renewing the CBT as I would have done a full theory test?

Any advice on this would be much appreciated. Cheers!

A full car licence still requires renewing a CBT every two years.

You would need to get a full bike licence to not have to renew. As you only want to ride up to a 125 then an A1 licence would suffice.

A moped is 50cc. You ride a 125cc motorcycle.

Sorry, I have a habit of calling scooters mopeds!
