LicencingIn Canberra you need a motorcycle licence to ride any scooter with any size engine; NSW is the same, training takes one day.
There is some confusion because in SA, WA, QLD and the NT you can ride a 50cc scooter, or "moped" on your drivers licence. You can get a rider's licence when you turn 16 years and 9 months and you will be riding on your own from that day. |
