Moped test certificate

Take off with the moped

Strictly speaking, the moped driving licence is not a driving licence but a test certificate. With 15 years, you are already allowed to start moped training.

After your successful training, you may drive with the test certificate mopeds with maximally 50 ccm and a maximal speed of 25 km/h.

Theory and practice in moped training

Of course, you must also be fit in theory and practice with the moped test certificate. For this, you will attend six lessons of 90 minutes each in your driving school.


The practical training must consist of at least one lesson of 90 minutes. You don't have to take a practical exam. You will receive a certificate for your training, which you must submit to the testing authority, (e.g. TÜV). Only then will you be admitted to the theory exam.
