Looking for a CBT test in Crystal Palace? You need a valid CBT certificate before you can ride a 50cc moped or 125cc motorbike on UK roads. You can book your course online in a few minutes, at the National Sports Centre in South London, with easy access from Central London.
CBT stands for Compulsory Basic Training, and it isn’t a test in the exam sense. There’s no pass or fail. It’s a full day of guided instruction with a DVSA-approved instructor, who teaches you the controls, slow-speed handling and how to ride safely on the road. You complete the course once your instructor is happy you can ride on your own.
You can start from the age of 16 for a 50cc moped, or 17 for a 125cc motorbike. You’ll need a UK provisional or full driving licence, and the course includes everything else, from the bike to a helmet and basic kit. Once you’ve completed it, your CBT certificate is valid for 2 years. In that time you can ride a 125cc with L-plates, though not on motorways.
