Getting Your CBT
The licensing system in the UK can seem confusing. But fear not, Maeving are here to help.
What's a CBT?
A CBT is a certificate of ‘Compulsory Basic Training’, granted to you after a one-day course in basic motorcycle riding. The training ensures you can ride safely on your own and that you have control of a motorcycle. It can be thought of as a ‘learner’s licence’.
Who Needs a CBT?
If you do not hold a full motorcycle licence, you will be required to get a CBT to ride the Maeving RM1, as it is the electric equivalent of a 125cc.
If you have held a full driver's licence since before 2001, you still need a CBT in order to ride the full powered Maeving RM1.

FAQs
Technically, you can't fail a CBT, but you may be asked to re-book in order to undergo further instruction before you are awarded your CBT licence. This is rare as the session is meant to be a training day and not a test.
A CBT costs £140 - £200. The precise amount will depend on where you book and whether or not you take your own gear.
