Compulsory basic training (CBT) is a course you usually have to take before you ride a moped or motorcycle on the road. The training makes sure you can ride safely on your own while you practise for your full moped or motorcycle test.
After you’ve completed CBT, you can ride a:
moped if you’re 16 or over
motorcycle up to 125cc and with a power output of up to 11kW if you’re 17 or over
You can book a CBT course directly with a motorcycle training school. Use this link to find one near you.
Your CBT will be valid for 2 years. Any CBT older than this will not be accepted on the Ryde app.
Once you have a CBT you can upload it to the Ryde app using our document upload feature found in the pull out menu. For more information on this, click here.
