Compulsory Basic Training (CBT)
 

First things first, you MUST hold a UK Driving Licence, Full or provisional, to conduct CBT training.

Are you sick and tired of traffic jams, expensive petrol, parking fees getting you down? How does 100mpg, £15 a year road tax and maybe, free parking sound? 50cc-125cc machines mean low maintenance, low insurance, low road tax and low running costs, beat the jams and enjoy the roads again...Get on 2 wheels and beat the recession!

Please Note....You are personally responsible for ensuring you have the correct documentation to undertake motorcycle training, for CBT training this consists of the PHOTOCARD and COUNTERPART of your driving licence showing Category A for motorcycle and Category P for moped training, these documents were issued together.

No counterpart, NO TRAINING, you will be refused training and will lose your deposit. If you cannot find the counterpart of your licence contact the DVLA for a replacement. We cannot and will not take you on the public road without this documentation. Old ‘paper’ style licences are still valid and do not have a counterpart.

 
Train on ICE with ACE!
      
 

We use PIAGGIO ICE mopeds (automatics), and Honda CG125's (Gears) for CBT training. These bikes are modern and easy to ride so why not complete your CBT with some street cred! Sorry but please note that we have NO facility for 50cc geared machines.
