A2 Restricted 33bhp Licence
A2 Licence – The route to a full licence for under and over 21s
The A2 licence is available to all aged 17 and over but you will be restricted to a machine of 33bhp for two years. If you are 21 or older the Direct Access course may well be your best option.
Sick of paying £80 a tank for fuel ?? We can’t help you with that but we can help you make your fuel go a lot further – invest some money in taking an A2 restricted licence.
This is the cheapest way to gain a full bike licence. You will have a 33bhp restriction for two years, but 33bhp is plenty for running around town and commuting to and from work.
As you can see from the picture of one of my excursions 33bhp doesn’t mean boring either – plenty of scope to tour and have fun at the weekend.
Make no mistake, you can travel big distances on smaller bikes. They have advantages of weight, economy and simplicity over some of the latest whizz bang monsters.
You can make a great adventure bike out of a smaller capacity motorbike.
You will need to take this route if you are under 21 years old.
How to get your A2 Restricted Licence
Step 1 – already have or complete a CBT certificate.
Step 2 – pass the Theory and Hazard Perception Test. You can train without one but you cannot book or take a test without it.
Step 3 – take the DSA Motorcycle Test Module 1 and Module 2 courses to pass the motorcycle test.
Please take a few moments to watch the Module 1 test requirments below
If you take the practical test on a 125 cc bike you will be restricted to riding a motorbike with less than 33 bhp for 2 years but the L plates come off, you can carry a pillion passenger and you can use motorways. After 2 years the power restriction is lifted automatically, and you will have an unrestricted licence.
To give you an idea, most four stroke 250cc twins or 350cc singles would come below 33 bhp limit, two strokes of the same size would probably be over the limit. These are rough guide lines and you will need to check with the manufacturer to be sure.
It is possible to fit power restrict or kits to larger bikes to bring them down to 33 bhp, but to be honest there may not be a lot of point in doing this unless it suits your circumstances.
