Learn to ride a motorbike the smart way!

CBT - Here at Ride Smart we offer the COMPULSORY BASIC TRAINING course. Everyone who wishes to ride a moped or motorcycle will need to take  CBT before riding on the road. The course ensures you can ride safely on your own whilst you practice for your full moped or motorcycle test.

There is no pass or fail for this course, however you will need to complete the course and show you are competent on the road before a CBT certificate can be issued.

Once you gain your CBT with us, it will be valid for 2 years.

Please note we assess your ability throughout the day up until the road ride element. For some people, reaching the standard required to safely go out on the road may take more time than the single day course. In this instance you will be invited back for further training. 

A2 and DAS - A2 and A license courses available with advance booking, please enquire using our contact us form.
