The one hour taster is designed as a basic lesson for people who have never ridden a scooter or a bike with gears and clutch before. It also gives you the experience and confidence before going into a group CBT. Our hour long sessions cover the basics you'll need, including moving off and stopping, riding around cones and possibly changing gears.
The CBT is a five-element training course that you must complete to be allowed to legally ride a Motorcycle or moped. It is a course, NOT a test. However, if we feel you are struggling with an aspect of riding may ask you to come back for further training before you get your certificate. We take your safety very seriously, if we ask you to come back then basic training will be offered at the discounted price of 25 per hour.
Use our guide to find out where to start, what type of bike each licence lets you ride and how to get started. The practical test is a two-part test, both of which you have to pass to attain your licence. These parts are known as module one and module two. Cornering and an emergency stop (minimum speed of 19mph for mopeds and 32mph for motorcycles).
Ride a bike that produces no more than 35 kW or 47bhp (these are normally advertised as A2 bikes in dealer showrooms). REMEMBER - that the maximum power to weight ratio is not allowed to be more than 0.2kwh per kg, also any bike that produces more than 70kwh or 94bhp in standard factory issue cannot be restricted down to 35kwh.
Yes, you always need to take and pass a motorbike theory test before taking the full motorbike practical test, irrespective of whether you have a full driving licence or not. If you are planning to ride a 50cc moped when you are 16 you can take the theory test from your 16th birthday onwards. However, if you are planning to learn to ride a motorbike you can take the test from your 17th birthday onwards.

I recently had my training done with 2 Countries for an unrestricted motorcycle licence. I have passed both of my modules for first attempt. The mod 2 was done by no faults at all. This is how good my trainers been Paul and Leo. They are giving the highest standard of training, absolutely worth all the pennies.
They are really friendly and you feel like you are part of their motorbike family for the time you do your training. There are also a lot of nice bikes in the shop to chose from once the licence gained.

I learned to ride with 2Counties, from CBT to MOD 1 and MOD 2. The 2 Counties team are excellent, professional, giving great instruction, patient and great VFM. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and I am extremely happy to have passed my MOD 1&2 at the first go. Thats all down to the 2 Counties team. Thanks very much, totally recommend 2 Counties if you want to learn to ride.

My journey started over a year ago and from start to finish Cam and his team have been outstanding and supportive. Thank you Alex and Leo for getting me through the CBT, thanks also to Paul and Leo (again) for getting me through both Mod1 and Mod2. Cannot recommend Cam and his team highly enough, If you're thinking of doing your bike test you couldn't pick a better team. Giving great advice and making the whole journey enjoyable

Did my CBT with 2 Counties yesterday and found it to be well structured and a really good base to kick on from to go for my full license.
Instructor was patient with the other guy in the group and managed to make the day work for both of us (I have previous experience, the other guy in the group did not)
Going to book in to carry on my lessons for my full license.
Would recommend to anyone.

The guys at 2 counties were fantastic getting me (cbt 12 years ago and a car ever since) and my wife (never been on the road at all) through our CBT.
My wife had convinced herself she would only be able to manage twist and go, but with the persistence and reassurance of the team she completed the course on a geared bike 😊
Thank you to the whole team, you're all fantastic, and anyone that chooses to train with you has made a solid choice.
P.S. after the social media posts of our success, we've made some referrals!

I have been going through the process of getting my A license with 2CRT. From CBT to exam bookings i have had nothing but absulute support from the whole team.
The staff at the shop and school are great and always happy to help out. I am a chatty person and easily get on people's nerves, not here, they always find some time for my questions.
The instructors are great as well, i have had the pleasure of working with two and both were friendly, understanding and always happy to explain things as many times as needed without a hint of frustration.
I drive for an hour each way to get to them, and

Went from start to finish with these guys, from the taster I was hooked, did my CBT and both tests and training mainly with Leo and thoroughly enjoyed it. Cam is fantastic answering questions and helping you out. Paul is also a great instructor and both instructors I had inspired confidence and made you feel calm and comfortable. Can’t recommend 2 Counties enough!!
