Newbie with questions.

Hi all.

I have cat A on my license but not sure what it entitles me to drive and do I need any kind of training (I’m 56 if that helps) websites are quite confusing. Any help appreciated.

You can drive:

• motorbikes with a power output more than 35kW or a power to weight ratio more than 0.2kW/kg
• motor tricycles with a power output more than 15kW

You can also drive motorbikes in categories A1 and A2.

DVLA says you can drive:

motorbikes with a power output more than 35kW or a power to weight ratio more than 0.2kW/kg

motor tricycles with a power output more than 15kW

You can also ride motorbikes in categories A1 and A2.

Category A1

You can drive light motorbikes with:

an engine size up to 125cc

a power output of up to 11kW

a power to weight ratio not more than 0.1kW/kg

This category also includes motor tricycles with power output up to 15kW.

Category A2

You can drive motorbikes with a:

power output up to 35kW

power to weight ratio not more than 0.2kW/kg

The motorbike must also not be derived from a vehicle of more than double its power.

You need to look at column 12 as well. If it's like this

with a number, then you have to check the number here https://www.gov.uk/driving-licence-codes

If you score a 79, like the one above does, it means the category includes "tricycles" - i.e. three-wheelers only, and not "bicycles", i.e. motorbikes.
