Restricted A2 Licence
You will need to take this route if you are under 21 years old, you might also want to take this route if you are happy to ride smaller or lower powered machines. This is the way to gain a full licence at the least cost.
Complete a CBT.
Pass the Theory and Hazard Perception Test.
Take the Practical Test on a 125 cc machine.
We offer a very attractive deal on three days additional training if you have taken a CBT with us. Again talk to Sally about this.
If you take the practical test on a 125 cc machine you will be restricted to riding a machine with less than 33 BHP for 2 years, the L plates come off, you can carry a pillion passenger and use motorways. After 2 years the power restriction is lifted automatically, and you will have an unrestricted licence.
To give you an idea, most four stroke 250 cc twins or 350 cc singles would come the below 33 BHP limit . Two strokes of the same size would probably be over the limit. These are rough guide lines and you will need to check with the manufacturer to be sure.
It is possible to fit power restrictor kits to larger machines to bring them down to 33 BHP, but to be honest there may not be a lot of point in doing this unless it suits your circumstances.
