Fast Track Your A2 Restricted Motorbike Licence in East & North London

The category A2 motorcycle licence is available for anyone over the age of 19. The A2 motorcycle licence allows riders to ride any motorcycle/scooter with a maximum power output of up to 35kw (46.6bhp). Following European Legislation changes in January 2013, the A2 restricted licence is the only type of licence available to anyone under 24 years of age unless you intend on following the progressive access route, which allows riders who have held a Category A2 bike licence for a minimum of 2 years to upgrade their licence to a full Category A licence by simply re-taking their practical test on a larger and more powerful bike.

You can take your A2 motorcycle test on either a manual or automatic motorbike. If you choose take and pass your test on a manual motorcycle, you will then be entitled to ride either manual motorcycles or automatic scooters. However if you take your test on an automatic, you will only obtain an automatic licence, and will be limited to only ride automatic bikes.

Once you pass your A2 restricted motorcycle test, you can then ride any motorbike or scooter of your choice, providing that you have restricted the power output to a maximum of 35kw (46.6bhp). However, European Legislation states that you can only restrict a bike for the A2 test which had an original the power output not greater than 70kw (93.2bph) according to the original manufacturer's declartion. All of the motorbikes and scooters which we use have been restricted to make sure that they comply with the European rules and regulations, and have been approved by the DVSA for test purposes.

  If you have not yet passed your motorcycle theory test, then please note the following:
  • You may still book onto this course, but you will be contacted by email/text and requested to remit any monetary course balance outstanding. This is to ensure that 1 Stop Instruction are not financially disadvantaged by depriving another student of your reserved space on this course should you not successfully pass your motorcycle theory test before the start date of your course.

Once you have passed your motorcycle theory test, we will then book any DVSA test required as a resit, with you being liable to pay the respective current resit rate at the time of booking.
  • If you fail to provide us with your motorcycle theory certificate number, or do not respond to our text/email request for you to remit your course balance within 2 days, then we will, at this stage, remove you from the course and impose the following charges for such actions as per our cancellation and alteration policy in accordance with our terms and conditions:

• Be able to competently ride a manual 125cc bike (unless you are booking an automatic course). This course is strictly aimed at experienced riders only, not teaching you how to ride a geared bike, and if you are unable to competently ride a manual 125cc bike as a bare minimum, you will not be allowed to participate in the course, and any fees paid will be forfeited. Please bear in mind that this course will require you to ride a 600cc bike from the outset. Whilst we do understand that some people may have never ridden bikes bigger than 125cc, this course is aimed at people who are capable of riding larger bikes, and we would recommend anyone who is unsure about riding larger bikes to contact our offices on 020 8597 7333 or 0800 848 8418 and enquire about booking a 2 hour 1-2-1 lesson to familiarise yourself with a larger machine and ensure you are riding to a suitable standard before booking your course.
