Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of driving licence do I need?
Most learner motorcycle and moped riders must take compulsory basic training (CBT). You then have to pass your full motorcycle test within 2 years or you’ll have to take CBT again.
After you’ve completed your CBT, you can ride a moped or a motorbike up to 125cc and with a power output of up to 11kW on the road. You must use L plates (L or D plates in Wales) until you pass your full motorcycle test.
You need to book CBT through an approved training body (ABT) – each ATB sets its own fees.

When you don’t need to take CBT
You don’t need to take CBT to ride a moped if you passed your car driving test before 1 February 2001.
You also don’t have to take CBT if you:

• have a full moped licence from passing a full moped test after 1 December 1990
• have a full motorcycle licence for one category and want to upgrade to another

Although, we do have a selection of bikes already built and viewing by appointment can be arranged by contacting us.

I’m 6ft 2” and 100kg, is my height/weight suited to these bikes?
Most of our bikes have been precisely built with the geometry to suit kids and adults alike with foot pegs and handlebars that are positioned accordingly. If you are still unsure based on our guide we recommend for you to visit us and trial the seating position and height for your peace of mind.

Seat height up to 74cm – we advise up to 5ft 10” and 110kg

Seat height above 83cm – we advise up to 6ft 2” and 110kg

Seat height above 83cm – any height is suitable and weight is bike dependant.

These are guides only and your own specific suitability may mean this does not apply to you.

What are the terms and amounts if I wish to finance my bike?
Unfortunately we cannot advise on finance as there are many variations that affect rates, instead we can only advise to click the ‘FINANCE’ tab at the top of this page and contact the finance team direct who can answer all your questions.

I see you do a 6 month payment plan. Could you tell me about it, and would it be possible to pay additional payments to pay it off quicker?

When I receive my bike, what assembly is required?

Some items that require installation are handlebars, front forks, front wheel and rear shock lower bolt, there will also be various other smaller tasks.
Each bike is supplied with an owners manual that includes an assembly guide and checklist.
