KJM 50cc Customer FAQ`s

At KJM we see more and more people are attracted to the freedom and cost effectiveness of the 2 wheel 50cc & electric equivalent mopeds we have in stock and one question always makes top of the list - "What are the rules on riding?"

So here it is, in just two categories, direct from the Gov web site.

If you passed your driving test before 1 February 2001

You can ride a moped (up to 50cc) without L plates. You do not need to take a CBT course or take the full moped test.

You must take CBT if you want to ride anything larger than a 50cc moped.

If you passed your driving test on or after 1 February 2001

You’ll get a full moped licence if you either:

pass your car driving test and then complete a compulsory basic training (CBT) course
complete a CBT course and then pass your car driving test within two years

You can then ride a moped (up to 50cc) without L plates. You do not need to take the full moped test.

You can ride mopeds for as long as your car driving licence lasts.
