Frequently Asked Questions

Which motorcycle class is right for me?

It depends on your age and your dream bike: AM from 15 for light mopeds, A1 from 16 up to 125cc, A2 from 18 up to 35kW, A from 24 unrestricted. We’re happy to advise you individually.

Can I get the unrestricted Class A directly?

Yes, from age 24. Alternatively, from age 20 you can upgrade after 2 years with Class A2 via a practical exam.

Do I need to retake the theory exam if I already have Class B?

You’ll always need to learn and pass the motorcycle-specific theory questions; the general theory may be waived in some prior-license constellations. We check this for you.

What does a motorcycle license cost?

The base fee is €299.00 — plus driving lessons and exam fees, all listed transparently above.

Do I need my own protective gear?

For practical training we recommend your own well-fitted protective gear. We’ll advise you on this before your first lesson.
