Question

I want to buy a scooter, I have a full car license, do I need to take a test for the scooter?

Answer 1

No you don't.

Answer 2

yes u do.. a car license doesnt allow you to ride a scooter.. it may look like it does, on the back there is a scooter i know.. but u have to do the test first and then u have to send ur license away and have a scooter added to it!

Answer 3

If you passed your test before 1997, you can ride anything under 150cc straight away, pre 2001 under 50cc and L plates.

Post 01, a compolsury bike test ( cbt) for anything under 50cc, a proper bike test for anything over 50cc

Answer 4

If you look at your paper licence, it will tell you what you are allowed to drive without taking further tests.

Answer 5

At my location, YES.

You'll need certified third party endorsement (i.e, proof

of instruction is required), insurance, and pass exams.

Answer 6

You can ride a 50cc moped or scooter that is restricted to 30mph (almost all are anyway) older ones such as the Yamaha FS1E are not restricted, but have pedals (as in mo-ped)

You can ride both types on a full car license, and do not require L plates..

Your license acts as a provisional for other classes, including motorcycles, which means you can ride up to a 125cc after taking a CBT course.. you then have 2 years to take a full bike test, or you are banned for a period, and then have to start all over again.

ANYTHING other than these, and you will require a full class D motorcycle license.

Answer 7

Scooters use approximately 5% of fuel the average car uses. You'll be saving yourself a fortune if you regularly substitute your car for your new scooter - not to mention your reduced carbon footprint! ;-)

Answer 8

Yes you do need a license for a two wheeler.
