Scooters are self-propelled vehicles that have two wheels, designed for personal transportation. They have an exterior that conceals the majority of the mechanicals and usually include some integral storage, such as an integrated seat or a front leg shield. They also usually come with various motors and power configurations, ranging from 50cc single-cylinder models, to 850 cc twin-cylinder scooters. Scooters are typically driven by chains however they can also be driven directly. They can be powered by natural gas or battery-powered electric motors.

If you've passed both of these tests, the next step is taking your motorcycle road test on an off-street test with a trained examiner.
You must bring your motorcycle with a helmet and appropriate eye protection for the road test. If you pass your road test you will be issued your motorized bicycle licence. In most cases you will also have to register your motorcycle, and pay a small fee.
