Restricted Love Licence
Once you have a Learner Motorcycle Licence, you can move straight up to a Restricted Licence without waiting for six months as a Learner by completing this assessment.
📋 About the CBTA Assessment
The CBTA Assessment, including briefing and a debrief takes about two hours and covers around 40 kilometres. You are followed by an NZTA qualified instructor/assessor whilst being continually assessed against set criteria.
It covers most of the riding situations you could expect to encounter, including urban riding, interacting with traffic, motorway and rural riding, so it's important to know how to deal with these differing situations.
💡 Strongly Recommended: BRONZE Course
Love Motorcycle Training provide heavily subsidised training courses through the RIDE FOREVER training programme with courses starting at as little as $20.
We strongly recommend the completion of a BRONZE Ride Forever Course PRIOR to sitting the Restricted CBTA Assessment.
