i Think ..
Your car licence if passed after 2001 allows you to ride a moped without L plates, but you still have to do a CBT 1st.
If you passed before 2001 you dont need the CBT.

You can ride upto a 50cc on a car licence but anything over that will require you to do a cbt

After you've done a CBT (cheap and easy) you can ride up to 125cc... then you need a full bike licence for anything more... unless they've changed the rules.

I had a fizzy, an ap50 and an ss50 before I was 17. Then upgraded to the yb100 with a chopped exhaust and ace bars

The popularity of nifty fifty's was coming to an end in my area when I was 16 (27 years ago...). Fond memories of swapping sprockets to max out downhill speed & feeling far superior to my mates who still relied on their parents to give them a lift everywhere...
