Motorcycle license card – your way to freedom on two wheels

Taking a motorcycle driving license is a dream for many who want to experience the freedom and excitement of riding on two wheels. However, it takes both time and dedication to obtain the right driver's license, as you have to learn to handle a motorcycle safely and responsibly in traffic.

There are different categories of motorcycle registration cards in Denmark, depending on the size and engine power of the motorcycle, as well as your age. In this article, we'll go over how to get a motorcycle driving license, what the requirements are, and what you need to be aware of before you get in the saddle.

Categories of motorcycle correcards

In Denmark, there are three main categories of motorcycle registration cards, which depend on your age and the engine size of the motorcycle. The three categories are:

  • A1 (small motorcycle driving license): This driving license entitles you to drive a small motorcycle or moped with an engine size of up to 125 cc and a maximum of 11 kW. You can take the A1 choir card when you are 18 years old. It is a good choice for beginners who want to start with a smaller motorcycle and gradually build experience.
  • A2 (intermediate motorcycle driving license): With an A2 driving license, you can drive motorcycles with an output of up to 35 kW (48 hp). To take the A2 choir card, you must be at least 20 years old. The A2 fairing card is a middle ground that allows for fairing more powerful motorcycles than the A1, but still with limited engine power.
  • A (large motorcycle registration card): With an A registration card, you can register all types of motorcycles without restrictions on engine size or engine power. To get an A choir card you must be at least 24 years old, but if you have already had an A2 choir card for two years, you can upgrade to an A choir card when you are 22 years old. The A driving license is for those who want full freedom to drive on the biggest and most powerful motorcycles.

Requirements to take a motorcycle driving license

To take a motorcycle driving license, you must go through both theoretical and practical training. Here are the main steps:

Theory lessons: Before you can take coring lessons, you must take part in theory lessons, where you learn about traffic rules, safe crossings and motorcycle technique. The theory test is similar to the car theory, but is adapted to motorcycle traffic and the special conditions that apply to motorcyclists in traffic. You must pass a theory test to proceed to the practical test.

Choir lessons: After completing the theory lessons, you must take practical choir lessons. These hours take place both on the shunting track and in normal traffic. On the maneuvering course, you learn to handle the motorcycle at low speed, make turns and park correctly. In traffic, you must show that you can drive safely and follow the traffic rules.

Maneuvering track and chore technical facility: As part of your practical training, you will also train on a chore technical facility, where you learn to handle the motorcycle in more difficult conditions, such as e.g. during evasive maneuvers and braking at higher speeds. This training is crucial to ensure that you are able to handle the motorcycle in all conditions.

Practical rehearsal: When you have finished your choir lessons and are ready, you have to go to a practical rehearsal. During the test, you will be assessed by a driving test expert, who will test your ability to drive a motorcycle safely in traffic.

Costs of taking a motorcycle correcard

The price of taking a motorcycle choir card can vary, depending on the choir school and how many extra choir lessons you need. Typically, a motorcycle choir card costs between DKK 10,000 and 15,000, which includes theory lessons, choir lessons and rehearsals. In addition, there may be extra costs for, for example, a medical certificate and renting a motorcycle for the practical test.

Tips for future motorcyclists

Getting a motorcycle license requires both discipline and focus, but the rewards are great. Here are some tips for new motorcyclists:

  • Safety first: Always wear approved safety equipment, including a helmet, motorcycle jacket, gloves and boots. It can save lives in the event of an accident.
  • Gain experience gradually: Start by practicing on less busy roads and build up your experience before venturing into busy city traffic or motorway junctions.
  • Keep up to date: Even after you get your motorcycle license, it's important to keep your skills up to date and always be aware of the traffic around you.

Getting a motorcycle license is not only a practical investment in freedom, but also a passion for many.
