How do you learn to ride a motorbike?
You can learn to drive bikes with smaller engines – like mopeds – from the age of 16. That’s a year earlier than the legal limit for driving a car.
Learning to ride a motorbike is different to learning to drive a car, especially as you’re out there on your own.
Before you ride a motorbike, you’ll need the following:
- A provisional driving licence with motorcycle entitlement.
- To complete a compulsory basic training course (CBT) at a riding school.
After completing your CBT, but before passing your test, you’ll need learner motorbike insurance.
Following this, you’ll be free to ride your motorbike with L-plates – albeit with exclusions subject to age and engine size. You won’t be able to drive on motorways and can only remove L-plates once you pass your practical test.
How long should my learner motorcycle insurance last?
This is up to you and depends on how long it will take to be test-ready. Once your seven days are up, you can easily get another week’s learner motorbike insurance.
You’ll be able to put a more permanent arrangement in place once you pass your test.
