Q4.  Do I need to get a Learners Licence before I can start Training?

Q6.  Do I need to have my own motorcycle?

 

A1.  Not after the 1st of July 2008. Changes to legislation have been approved to restrict new riders to a 250cc motorcycle for the first 12 months.

A2  No Longer applicable See A1. As long as you have held a licence for 3 years in the last 5 years you can still do Q-RIDE and do the unrestricted class. You can not count the time of suspension though. For example you first got your licence in January 2001 and in February 2002 you where suspended for accumulation of points for 3 months and got your licence back in early June 2002 and have held your licence since then till 2006, you can do the Q-RIDE unrestricted.

A3.  R Class is the unrestricted class of motorcycle you can ride any size motorcycle.

        RE Class means you are restricted to a 250cc motorcycle until you have held you RE for 12 Months or a Licence (car) for 3 Years whichever comes first.

        REA Class is an automatic Motorcycle (Scooter) up to 250cc.

        RA Class is the automatic motorcycle (Scooter) of unrestricted size.

A4.   Yes you do need to get an RE Class Learners Licence before you can start training in Q-RIDE for ALL classes of Motorcycle. The only exception is if you already hold a RE Class licence. This includes REA and RA class. You do not need a Motorcycle Licence to ride a 50cc Scooter at present this can be done on a car licence.

A5.  This depends on how much riding you have done and how well you can handle a motorcycle. The courses are designed around the following principles to give you a guide.

         1.  Advanced course.

 This course is designed for those with a high level of skill, who ride on a regular (weekly) basis, either in an off road situation or for those who use their motorcycle daily but have not obtained their licence at this stage.

         2.  Intermediate course.

This course is set for those who can ride a motorcycle but do not ride on a regular basis or have not ridden very much in the last 12 months. If you do not believe you could hop on any bike and do a figure eight or counter steer or any of the other maneuvers confidently then this is really the course for you. (The most commonly taken course)

        3.  Hourly lessons.

These are designed for those who have not ridden in a while or not at all. They can be used to start your riding or just to brush up on your riding skills before going on one of the other courses. These are done on a one - to - one basis with one of our trainers so you will have personal uninterrupted service specifically designed for you.

A6.  No we can supply a motorcycle, Helmet and Gloves for you. You will need to pay a small fee for the use of a bike for either the Advanced or Intermediate course.
