I guess the majority of us ride motorcycles

In Finland, when you are born before year 1985, you can ride a moped/scooter (50 cc) without any kind of lisence, youngsters after 1985 need to graduate a moped driving license. Earliest at the age of fifteen (15).

Age limit here in the UK is 16 for 50cc and 17 for everything else. Back in the day, when I was learning, you were OK up to 250cc at 16...  After the Bantam, I graduated to a BSA C15 at 17!

Think that applies EU-wide?  Certainly looks familiar to UK rules. Gone are the days when you could ride your 50cc ‘ped on a car licence!

So there's a break - I think those who passed their car test before 2001 have moped entitlement. Anybody after 2001 needs to take a CBT to "activate" their category P for moped (under 30mph) on their car license.

Yep, I was aware of that, just couldn't recall when the cutoff was - presumably back when the two-part test was introduced?

I got my motorcycle license in 2003, and at the time there was only 1 category (A).
I took the riding course and exam on a Vespa 200ccm, and after passing it I could have ridden a CBR900RR or anything else if I wanted, but luckily couldn't afford something like that.
Good thing they split it into multiple categories.

Here in Ontario all scooters are considered motorcycles, they just get categorized as either Limited Speed(50cc and Under), Small displacement (51-250cc) to just a motorcycle(anything over 251cc)

So where does the 49cc scooters fall into? Just curious what part of Ontario your from? I had family in Northwestern Ontario Sioux Lookout and some around Long point and Simcoe by Toronto.  Forgot a Aunt that lived in Sue Saint Marie Ontario.

K.K I live in the farthest North West portion of the GTA just north of Georgetown.
 49cc scooters are considered Limited Speed Motorcycles(not able to go faster then 75KPH-46MPH) as they fall under 51cc.
 In Ontario to drive any scooter-motorcycle with an engine greater then 51cc requires you to have a full Motorcycle licence(M) where as anything with an engine size smaller then 51cc it`s just an ML(motorcycle Limited speed). But yo get your full M it requires you to drive on a 400 series Highway at speeds of excess of 100KPH-60MPH which no 4T 51-110cc scooter will attain

Got my "motorcycle endorsement" by passing the road and written test while taking the 2 day motorcycle safety course. Son and I took it together at a nearby Air Guard airfield. We put something like 22 miles on our course-supplied motorcycles on that runway, over the 2 days.

Our vehicle was inspected by MP 's each time we needed to go in the gate. We had to stand in a glass booth....facing away from their inspection procedures.
Very good course taught by a couple of million mile Goldwing riders.

I think even 50cc riders need a motorcycle endorsement in Ohio
