scoot wanted

daughter did her cbt and passed so im looking for a cheap 125 scoot for her .anybody got something dumped in the back of the garage .dont mind a bit of a project as would prefer her to learn something about the bike .

Oh And many congrats to her as well

 

19 mate so 125 yeah just looking for cheap and cheerfull as she wants to go bak and do geared but we want her to get more road knowledge first .

 

I think that you can ride a manual if you did your cbt on a twist and go actually, @Stephen-Niall seems to know a fair bit about this.

Extra training isnt to be sniffed at though!

 

no mate it has tick boxes at the bottom of the certificate provisional/ moped .....provisional/motorcycle .....so auto only

 

you can have a geared moped

 

Yeah thats what i always thought, then i was told otherwise, Check out this link, it seems to suggest otherwise, quote "Automatic and Manual machines
As far as CBT is concerned, the certificate is valid for either automatic or manual machines, regardless of the type of machine used on the course."

The boxes may just indicate what kind if vehicle you took the training on.

 

Give Mrs Rock Steady a toe between her cheeks to get her A2 sorted, then daughter has a ready made hand me down.

 

I did my CBT on an automatic scooter on the bottom of my CBT certificate it says 'Machine used - 50CC AUTO' .

I then went on and rode a geared 125cc for 2 months and completed my full A1 license, with that CBT. 2 Bike instructors, and 3 DSA Examiners have all looked at it and not said anything, I also asked about it to my bike instructor and he said its completely legal & fine. Bit of a silly rule really if you ask me, but so are most of the bike laws.
I would recommend to go back and do a geared CBT, but it's by no means necessary if you can teach her yourself.
