To legally ride a motorcycle or motor scooter, regardless of engine size, in the Australian Capital Territory you must have a rider licence. As a road safety initiative, to become licenced the ACT Government administers a Compulsory Rider Training and Testing Scheme.
Stay Upright Motorcycle Techniques is contracted by the ACT Government to operate the scheme and conducts pre-learner and pre-provisional rider training courses and provisional licence assessments.
Prospective motorcycle learner licence holders must successfully complete a 9 hour Pre-Learner Motorcycle Rider Training course. You must be at least 16 years and 9 months of age and hold a current (not expired, restricted, disqualified or suspended) 'C' Class learner, provisional or open licence issued by the ACT Government.
