What type of driving licence do I need to ride a monkey bike legally on the road in the UK?

If you are sixteen years old or older, and have completed CBT (Compulsory Basic Training) or have a full car driving license obtained before February 2001 and valid insurance, then you can ride a 49cc monkey on the road.

The standard 49cc Monkey can be registered as a new moped. This means that you can ride it on a full car license (obtained before February 2001) without "L" plates. (CBT may be required by your insurance Co.)

To ride a Monkey Bike with a larger engine you will need to be over 17 yrs, have a full motorcycle license or CBT & display "L" plates.

The Monkey-Bikes have lights, flashers, speedo, stop/tail light & horn and are road legal (except Dirt Monkey).
