The major advantage of the A1 licence is that it allows you to ride lightweight motorcycles and scooters up to 125cc, 11 kW (15 hp). You can obtain the A1 licence from the age of 16, making it an attractive option for younger riders and an excellent foundation for progressing to the A2 or unrestricted A licence later.

For experienced car drivers, B196 can be particularly appealing. Drivers who are at least 25 years old and have held a Category B driving licence for at least five years can obtain the 125cc entitlement by completing the required training. No theoretical or practical examination is required.

When calculating the 125cc motorcycle licence price, don't look only at the basic fee. Driving lessons, examination costs, learning materials and administrative fees can all affect the final price. Comparing driving schools and understanding exactly what is included can help you avoid unexpected expenses.
