Yes anyone wishing to ride a 125cc must now successfully complete a CBT course first. If you passed your car test prior to February 2001 you can ride a 50cc moped without 'L' plates. If you passed after this date you must successfully complete a CBT first before riding a moped.

It depends upon your age at 16 you can ride up to a 50cc moped at 17 or over you can ride up to a 125cc.

This is Compulsory Basic Training, and is the starting point for learning to ride. It validates the provisional portion of your licence allowing you to ride a moped or 125cc (If 17 or over) with 'L' Plates. The CBT must be completed successfully before progressing onto a Part II or a Direct Access Course. It is generally a 1-day course (although it can take longer) introducing you to all the basics of learning to ride in an off-road area and culminates in a minimum of a 2-Hour on road session.
