Hi,
im looking at getting a trike, as i prefer bikes as opposed to cars, but havent got a hope-in-hell of passing my test Sad
I have a full car license and CBT allowing me to ride a 125, but can i ride a trike? Am i limited on power/size/weight etc?

Thanks

That is just dumb... No 125cc low tax, no helmet needed, anyone with no bike experience can hop on one with a normal driving licence, and could they complicate things a bit more? Not sure that's enough... I hate seeing EU regulations take over from common sense....

Yes they changed the law so you can only ride a trike with a car license, but, when a few years ago I tried to get my wife insured on my trike (she only had a car license then) we couldnt get any insurance for her because she didnt have a bike licence.

Work that one out
