CBT Test In Walthamstow
Taking your CBT Test in Walthamstow is the first step to getting on two wheels and beating the London and Walthamstow traffic.
Anybody aged 16 or above with a valid UK passport can take a CBT, which stands for Compulsory Basic Training. Once you’ve completed your CBT, you will be allowed to ride either a 50cc (if you’re 16-years-old), or a 125cc (17 and above) machine on the roads, with L-plates, displayed.
There is no test involved when you take your CBT in Walthamstow - it’s just a day of training where you will learn the basics of riding motorcycles and scooters on the roads. You don’t need any prior riding experience, although it will help if you brush up on your highway code beforehand. You don’t need to worry about owning a bike or any protective equipment, either. The school will provide you with a bike and most protective equipment - just wear some sturdy trousers and tough boots that cover your ankles.
Once you complete your CBT, it will last for two years. If you wish to continue riding after those two years, you will either have to retake your CBT, or, if you fancy moving onto something with a little more power, get your full motorcycle licence.
