Re: Motorbike licence in Zurich

Someone told me that you can ride any size of bike with a car licence and "L" plates while you are learning . Is that correct ?

Hi Barish,

Cheap and best don't often come together - the bike test in Switzerland is pretty tough so I'd recommend going for best rather than cheap. Take a look at the website of the Association of Swiss Motorbike Teachers - you'll find a list of members in Zürich. If I were you, I'd work through the websites (the list isn't that long) and just call the people up and speak to them in English - I once heard my instructor speaking to a potential pupil on the phone in English - he said he offered classes in English, but it was barely comprehensible and very stilted. I won't name names, but he is not on that list. If I remember correctly, the Strassenverkehrsamt recommend the Association's instructors - they certainly have a leaflet about recommended schools in the area you could pick up if you are ever in that part of town.

Sorry I can't be of more help, but good luck and ride safe.
