Want to take your CBT on a Scooter?
Posted by admin in Scooter CBT on June 10, 2010
Many people are looking for an alternative to their car for commuting to work or for short local runs where the size and cost of a car is just not practical. However, among this group there are many who don’t want or need the full range and power of a motorcyle and don’t want the extra time and expense associated with learning to ride one.
Scooter ownership is a great easy way to get on to two wheels all you need to do is take a CBT on a scooter and you are done. Depending on your age you may be restricted to a 50cc moped, but once that restriction is passed you will be able to ride a 125cc scooter, and a 125cc will be enough for local use. In fact I use mine to cover much longer distances, and with a bit of map reading you will be surprised just how far you can get on b roads.

CBT Scooter – What equipment do I need?
Posted by admin in Scooter CBT on June 10, 2010
Well the good news is that you probably won’t need anything as most CBT training centers provide everything you will require. Chose a center and get in touch with them to ask before you book.
This is another great reason to do your CBT on a scooter even if you are not sure that two wheels are for you yet. There is no reason to shell out on expensive gear before you have had a real taste of what it is like to be on the road for real.
If you are taking your own equipment for your CBT then you will need to check that it is of a suitable quality. An approved helmet is a must, and there is no point taking gloves with holes in them, or every instructors bugbear – trainers!

CBT on a Scooter 125cc or 50cc
Posted by admin in Scooter CBT on June 10, 2010
Not sure if you want to take your Scooter CBT on a 125cc or a 50cc? Well, it may be that you don’t have a choice. If you are under 17 then you will be restricted to a 50cc machine (that is not all bad though as they are even cheaper to run).
I would always take the view that it is best to take your CBT on a scooter that is as near to the size of the scooter you plan to buy as possible. This will give you that little bit of extra experience with the power you are likely to have.
You may also be restricted by the scooters that the CBT test center has available for you to use, so it is always worth ringing around and checking if you can reserve a particular scooter for your CBT day.
