Fancy being off the L-plates before the clocks change fully sink in? Booking your CBT now, while the weekend slots are still open, beats scrambling for a space in spring.

CBT is built for complete beginners. Never sat on a bike before? That’s exactly who this course is for.

You need to be 16 for a 49cc machine, 17 for a 125cc. Either way, one day of classroom work and practical riding gets you assessed and out on the road.

We run our CBT courses in Warrington, weekends only, at £225. Bikes and gear are provided, groups are kept small, and you get proper one-to-one attention if you book onto our 1-to-1 option.

Thinking about learning to ride but not sure where to start?

Think a scooter licence is somehow easier to get than a bike licence? It isn’t, and that mix-up catches out a lot of people before they even book their first lesson.

In the UK there’s no separate “scooter licence”. Whether you’re on a 49cc twist-and-go or a 125cc geared bike, you start in exactly the same place: Compulsory Basic Training.

The only real difference is age. You can ride a 49cc moped at 16, but you need to be 17 before you’re legal on a 125cc machine, scooter or motorcycle, it makes no difference.

Once you’ve done your CBT, that certificate covers you to ride either type up to 125cc on L plates. Fancy something bigger later? That’s when a full licence (DAS) comes into play.

We run CBT at weekends here in Warrington, £225, small groups, bike and kit provided. Riding a scooter or thinking about a proper bike instead, not sure which suits you better?
