Learn to Ride a Motorbike with SuperBike Factory 

The CBT Compulsory Basic Training Course is a mandatory course for new riders who wish to ride motorcycles or scooters. It is the first step to learn to ride a motorbike and must, by law, be taken by any new rider before they ride on public roads using L plates.

Riders must be at least 16 years old for a 49 cc machine and 17 years old for a 125 cc scooter/motorcycle. You will learn about equipment, basic skills, and eventually take to the road under the guidance of an instructor. Upon demonstrating sufficient proficiency, riders receive a CBT certificate.

A1 Motorcycle Licence

If you’re between 17 and 18 years old and want the freedom to ride a bike up to 125cc without L plates, carry a pillion passenger, and travel on motorways, the A1 licence is your entry point. To obtain the A1 motorcycle licence, you must complete your CBT, pass the theory test, and successfully pass both Modules 1 and 2 of the practical test.

For those aged 19 to 23, the A2 motorcycle licence allows you to ride bikes with a maximum power output of 35kW (46.6bhp), like the Yamaha MT-03 or KTM 390 Duke, or any motorbike restricted to the A2 requirements. With an A2 licence, you can carry passengers, ride on motorways, and ride without L plates. To acquire an A2 licence, you need to complete your CBT and pass the theory and practical tests (Module 1 and Module 2).

To ride a motorbike of any size, you’ll need a full UK motorcycle licence, also known as a Category A licence. You can qualify for this licence if you are 21 years old and have held an A2 licence for at least 2 years or 24 years old or older. This licence allows you to ride any motorcycle of any capacity and power, with or without a passenger, on any road.

Once you've obtained your full UK motorcycle licence, you'll be free to buy and ride any motorbike you choose!
