What permissions are there for motorcycles?

We go through the different permissions for motorcycles. Learn about the requirements and age limits for the different motorcycle cards and what differentiates them.

There are three different permissions for MC.

  • Light MC (A1) - You may take this authorization when you are 16 years old. The training requires a driving licence permit and you need to attend two risk training courses.
  • Medium Motorcycle (A2) - You can upgrade to this rating once you have reached the age of 18. You will then need to take a driving test.
  • Heavy motorcycle (A) - If you have had the A2 qualification for at least two years, you can upgrade to the A qualification already at the age of 20. However, if you do not already have the A2 card, you need to be 24 years old to get a motorcycle license with the A rating.
