CBT
CBT – the beginning of everyone’s riding career!

CBT courses are the first step for anyone to ride a motorcycle legally in the UK and it provides important training that will help every new rider. Completion of your CBT course (gaining a DL196 CBT certificate) allows you to ride as a learner displaying L-plates for up to 2 years on motorcycles of up to 125cc if over 17, or 50cc when 16 years of age.
Not a test but a training course, it is intended for beginners and as such is known fully as Compulsory Basic Training.

You will receive all the help necessary to make you feel at ease as a new rider – both on and off the road. The aim is that you will leave feeling confident and comfortable riding on the road by yourself.
If your instructor views you as safe and ready to ride on the road unassisted after completing the 5 parts that make up the course then a certificate will be given to you.
The course involves both discussing riding with spoken ‘theory’ parts, safe car park-based learning and ultimately on-road training for 2 hours – during which your instructor will aid you where necessary and help you develop your riding and hazard awareness.
The CBT course is priced at £180, or £160 using your own motorcycle or scooter – call us if you want to use your own bike at the discounted price.
We have both 50cc and 125cc bikes available.

Full License

Full License – if you have completed your CBT within the last 2 years and have since passed the theory test you can now take the 2 tests (module 1 and 2) that will give you a full motorcycle license. The benefits? No more L-plates or learner restrictions and a far greater choice of what (and where) you can legally ride. There are currently 3 main licenses –
- A1 125cc light motorcycle license that anyone 17+ can take
- A2 47hp restricted license for 19+ year old riders (you can upgrade to A after 2 years/on reaching 24)
- A category unrestricted for over 24s, ride any motorcycle power/engine size
Module 1 is a machine control test that involves performing various manoeuvres in an enclosed test area – for example fig. 8, slalom, emergency stops etc.
Module 2 is a road-based test during which you will be assessed by an examiner who will follow you on another motorcycle – watching how you use the road, deal with hazards and control the bike.
We can provide as much training as you need to complete the journey to getting your full license.
Back to Biking
Back to Biking – a little rusty around the edges!? Many riders benefit from the confidence booster that training with an instructor can give them on return from a long break from riding. Whatever the reason you stopped we can help to get you back in the saddle enjoying riding again.
Half or whole day sessions are available, feel free to get in touch to discuss what you’d like to do.

Taster sessions
Come and try out a motorbike and see whether riding is for you. Great if you just want to dip your feet in the water before committing! No obligation, no pressure sessions that simply aim to get you moving on 2 wheels; these can also be used to form a pre-CBT exercise practice workout should you want.
Feel free to contact us to discuss your needs.
