If you have any worries about learning to ride in just one day - RideTo’s Peace of Mind Policy might be for you!
Although a CBT isn’t an official test, if your instructor doesn't think you are safe to ride after one day of training, they will tell you to come back for another day of training in order to get your CBT certificate.
By purchasing the Peace of Mind Policy for only an additional £29.99, either at the time of booking your CBT or anytime before your CBT training starts, should you need a second day of training, we at RideTo will pay for it - saving you over £130!

Once you pass your one day of CBT training you can legally get yourself out on the road! (well as soon as you have the correct documents for your bike that is!)
Whatever bike you ride, whether you buy one, rent one or are given one as part of a job, make sure you are legally allowed to ride it. We have made a helpful guide on UK laws and licences to help you figure out what you can legally ride.
Like a car, your bike must be insured before you ride it on UK roads. It also has to be taxed - luckily this only costs £17 a year though so won’t break the bank!
Also like a car, if your bike is 3 years or older it will need to have an MOT carried out once a year at a garage.
If you buy a scooter or motorbike, the final document to make sure you have is the Vehicle Registration Document (VRD). If you buy a second-hand bike you will need to register it with your personal details. If you buy a brand new bike from a dealer, they will register it with the DVLA for you.
