      I obtained my full car license before 2001. Do I still need a CBT to ride a Maeving motorbike?

      Your license allows you to ride up to 50cc whereas Maeving motorbikes are 125cc equivalent.

      Speedometer_RM1_SquareIf you obtained your full car license before 2001, you can legally ride a 28 mph L1 variant without a CBT or L plates, as it’s classed as an electric 50cc equivalent.

      If you would like to ride a Maeving motorbike (L3 variant), you’ll need to pass a CBT as it’s classed as an electric 125cc equivalent.

      Unfortunately, due to legislative limitations within the DVLA and DVSA, it is not possible to derestrict the 28mph version to become the 45 mph version or vice versa.
