COMPULSORY BASIC TRAINING
Call us on : 0191 384 6404
BOOK NOWFirst introduced for provisional licence holders
in 1990, Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) is now a
legal requirement for all learner riders.
WHAT IS THE CBT?
The CBT is a course of instruction, safe practice and assessment for new riders wanting to ride a scooter or geared motorcycle. It is the first step to two wheels and must, by law, be taken by any new rider before they ride on the road using ‘L’ plates. You have to be at least 16 years old to ride a 50cc machine and 17 years old to ride a 125 cc scooter/motorcycle.
Even if you never ridden a bike before, our friendly and knowledgable instructors are on hand to start your motorcycling journey.

The guys at Ace are absolutely outstanding.
They were very helpful, the training they provided was out of this world.They got me through all aspects of my unrestricted category A license without me having any prior knowledge of riding a bike!
Friendly, professional, helpful and understanding! I cannot recommend these guys enough.
