Your instructor will assess your ability to ride safely, and once you’ve demonstrated control and confidence, you’ll receive your CBT certificate (DL196). This allows you to ride a 50cc or 125cc motorcycle or scooter (depending on your age) on UK roads.

Most riders complete their CBT in just one day, meaning you could be out on the road commuting, exploring the local area, or even preparing for a delivery job right away.
