Extra tutoring for 50cc post CBT?

[400N]

After having half a dozen bikes in the garage and years of going to the TT etc, I gave up 2 wheels when my kids came along. My eldest daughter turns 16 after Chrismas and is looking at going to a 6th form college miles from a decent bus service. So a 50cc scooter seems the only practical option even though it brings a few compromises.

Her doing CBT is a given, but I am trying to sort some extra road awareness training, cant seem to find anyone doing that for 50cc riders - is it not a thing?

When I learnt to ride my dad arranged for me to spend a few hours with a police motorcyclist and it was super useful, possibly even saved my life. I can tell her stuff, but its not the same as proper observed riding

thoughts?

Talk to the CBT people about extra tuition.

I would have thought that if you explained the situation and your requirements to any decent motorcycle training school they would find a way to help you.

I think the issue may partly be because with a 50cc you're going to be quite restricted as to where tuition will happen; I would be surprised if instructors would be comfortable going anywhere other than 30mph roads and depending on where you are, that's properly limiting things. Even "fully urban" environments often involve 40mph stretches / flyovers etc. which a 50cc scooter is going to be extremely vulnerable on.

Good thought process though; the number of 50cc I see riding about who clearly don't have a clue on how a road works suggests most parents don't think about extra tuition.

Yeah any motorcycle school should be able to do this. Ring them and ask.

When I got my funky moped many decades ago, there existed the RAC/ACU training scheme. Taught everything from handling to maintenance. Sadly it stopped many years ago. I bought a moped for my son when he turned 16 a few years ago and tried to find something similar, with no success.
So plan B was to get two Bluetooth headsets and shadow him for the first few solo outings after his CBT. Worked perfectly well. I could see what he was doing and advise him what to be aware of until he got some experience.
I use the Sena10S which I cant fault. Bit expensive but has been faultless and great range.
