Will the new test close Aberystwyth Motorcycle Training Centre?

NO  We will continue to offer CBT and test training form Aberystwyth Motorcycle Training Centre. Please see new test page for full details

• So far the main problems I am encountering with the new test is that students must remember that the test is carried out behind a big fence with only you and the examiner, you must remember to carry out your observations before you move the bike every time.

• The Hazard or as it is commonly known the swerve test has not been a problem following correct training.

• Students have had difficulty in making the speed through the speed trap. This test requires good confidence in your riding. 

• One rider on a 125cc motorcycle managed to obtain a speed through the measuring device of 61k , 10k over the required speed so it is more than possible.

• Accuracy when riding on the maneuvering area you must not be complacent with your bike positioning.

How many lessons will I need?

Depending on your ability to master the skills of riding, CBT in most cases is completed in one days training.

Further training will depend upon your knowledge of the road and ability.
