&lt;h1&gt;I want a scooter but which one can I ride?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;The minimum age to ride a scooter in the UK is 16.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt; You will need a provisional licence and must complete the Compulsory Basic Training (CBT).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;If you have a FULL Car Driving Licence and this was issued before February 2001 you can ride a 50cc without displaying L plates.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;You can also ride up to a 125cc but you will have to do the CBT.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;The Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) is carried out by professional training instructors and will teach you all the basics required to ride safely. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;We will make all the CBT booking arrangements for you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Once completed, you will &amp;nbsp;be able to ride up to a 125cc displaying L plates. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Displaying L Plates means that you are not allowed to ride on motorways or carry a pillion passenger.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt; In order to do this you will need to take the Full Motorcycle Test.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;If your licence was issued after February 2001, you will need to do the CBT to ride a 50cc or 125cc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 16px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Do I Buy A 50cc. or a 125cc or bigger?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 16px;&quot;&gt;If you're&amp;nbsp;commute is a short distance, let's say up to five miles&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;each way, a 50cc will be perfectly adequate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 16px;&quot;&gt; If however you are&amp;nbsp;traveling&amp;nbsp;longer distances, licence permitting, then a 125cc would be more indicated.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
