Contact Us Frequently Asked Questions * * * Can I ride a manual motorcycle if I take my CBT on an automatic scooter? Legally yes, the CBT isn't restricted to the specific bike type you train on. However we'd always recommend professional training before riding a completely new type of bike on the road. What should I do if I haven't ridden a motorcycle at all before? You will be taught thoroughly throughout your CBT (Compulsory Basic Training). However it is a good idea to get as much preparation in beforehand as you can. It's worth making sure you have a good idea of what you’ll have to do during your CBT, then get some practice in by trying out some of the exercises on a bicycle. It’s also worth having a brush up on your highway code too. Do I need to take a theory test before my CBT? In short, no. The CBT passes you as a learner for 2 years, you don’t need to pass a theory test. However you will have to pass one if you wish to progress to a full motorcycle licence. What can I ride once I complete the CBT? This will depend on your age. If you are 16 you will be restricted to a 50cc moped. If you are aged 17 or older you can ride a light motorcycle up to 125cc. How long is the CBT valid for? The CBT certificate is valid for 2 years. If you don't move on to a full licence you will have to complete a CBT every 2 years. What can I ride if I have a full car licence? If you passed your UK driving test before 1st February 2001, you can ride a 50cc moped without L plates, without the need to take a CBT. You can also take a pillion passenger. However if you want to ride a 125cc you will have to take the CBT. If you passed your driving test after the 1st February 2001 a CBT will be required before you can ride any scooter or motorbike. I want to ride a large motorcycle without restrictions, what do I need to do? Ultimately you will need a full (A) motorcycle licence. Can I carry passengers after completing a CBT? No. In order to carry a pillion passenger you need to get either an AM, A1, A2 or A licence by taking a theory and both modules of the practical motorcycle test. Can I ride on motorways after taking my CBT? No. You can only do this once you’ve attained your full licence. Do I need to display L plates after passing the CBT? Yes. Unless you have a full car licence issued before 1st February 2001 and your riding a 50cc moped. Can you ride on a dual carriageway with a CBT licence? Yes you can. Can you fail the CBT? It’s not technically a test, however an instructor will ask you to come back for additional training if they feel you require it. ### UK’s \#1 platform for motorcycle training RideTo operates in more than 40 cities across the UK and has helped new riders book over 1,000,000 hours of motorcycle training.
