To ride the current selection of e-scooter models that are available you will only need to test and pass your CBT for 50cc automatic vehicles. Current e-scooter models are classed as Mopeds (L1e-B) with power up to 4kW generating a maximum speed of 28mph. These are typically regarded as being equivalent to a 50cc engine. However, it may be worth considering opting for a manual 125cc test as other more powerful models may become available in the future. Vehicles fitted with L3e category batteries (11kw or less) are equivalent to 125cc models. You will need to be at least 17 years old to ride vehicles capable of outputting that level of power. Opting for the manual vehicle course would permit you to test for a 125cc (or equivalent electric powered vehicle) motor cycle license within the two year cut off.
