Understanding Moped Licensing Requirements:
A moped typically features an engine with a capacity not exceeding 50cc and a maximum design speed of around 31 miles per hour (50 kilometres per hour). If you obtained your full car license before February 1, 2001, you're exempt from completing a Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) to ride a moped.
To legally ride a moped, it must meet specific criteria: the engine capacity should not exceed 50cc, the weight must not exceed 250kg, and it should have a maximum speed not exceeding 28mph (45 km/h). Before June 2003, licenses allowed riding mopeds up to 50 km/h.
To ride a moped, learners must:
To obtain your full moped license, you must first pass the theory test for motorcycles and then the moped practical test. If you passed your car driving test before February 1, 2001, you can ride a moped without L plates or D plates, but it's recommended to complete CBT before riding on the road. If you passed your car driving test after this date, CBT completion is mandatory before riding a moped on the road. These laws are regulated under RTA 1988 sects 97(e) & 101 and MV(DL)R regs 38(4) & 43.
