CBT is the riding lesson that everyone must safely complete before attempting a full licence test or riding their own bike (up to a 125cc, depending on age) on the road.*
​
The CBT is not a pass/fail test, so once successfully completed you cannot carry a passenger or go on motorways, and your bike requires L-Plates.
​
You must be at least 16 years of age and hold a valid UK provisional or full car licence.
The 5 training Elements (3 theory, 2 practical) usually take a day to complete, however, it can take longer. Your booking is for one day only.
​
Once successfully completed your certificate is valid for 2 years, during which time you can either achieve your full A1, A2 or A licence, or renew it before it expires.
​
You can use your own road legal bike and safety equipment, however, 50cc automatic and 125cc manual bike hire can be selected when booking. We strongly advise taking the £20 Voluntary Excess Waiver Option, when hiring a bike.
​
Helmet, jacket and gloves are automatically included if required, and you should wear jeans and sturdy boots.
A theory test is not required, however, every rider is expected to have a good understanding of the Highway Code. Novice road users should take the Ridefree online quiz to increase their knowledge, as the CBT includes a road ride, if you reach the required standard on site.
