When you complete your CBT at Lowland Motorcycle Training, you will be issued with a voucher that you can take to a Lexmoto dealer in order to obtain a discount off the retail price of a new Lexmoto motorcycle or scooter. You have nothing to lose, so why not contact us and book your CBT.
So, what is the purpose of the training? It helps to make sure riders can ride by themselves in a safe manner so they can continue practising for the full moped or motorcycle test.
Put another way:
Upon completion of your compulsory basic training, you will automatically have the entitlement to ride:
You must be using ‘L’ plates to show you are a learner (L or D plates in Wales). You would need to take the CBT again, or stop riding on the roads, unless you pass the full moped or motorcycle test within two (2) years.
Note: Riding a motorbike without a valid CBT certificate can result in six (6) penalty points and a £1,000 fine.
You must take compulsory basic training (CBT) to ride bikes in:
Note: All of the other GB offshore islands are exempt from this ruling.
Having a car licence means you may be able to ride a moped (up to 50cc) without L plates and without having to take the moped test.
In this case, you would get a full moped licence if (either):
You can then ride a moped (up to 50cc) without L plates and you would not need to take the full moped test (for as long as your car driving licence stays valid).
In this case, you would be able to ride a moped (up to 50cc) without L plates and there would be no need to take a CBT course (or the full moped test). But, you would need to take the CBT to ride anything with a bigger engine than a 50cc moped.
Take at look at brief description of what to expect on the MOD 1 test.

If you cannot meet this condition, no training will go ahead, and you will lose your fees.
