| It says that the 50cc jobbie needs a category "A1-" licence. Does this mean that an additional test is required is needed if I just have a cetegory B car licence? | |

Contrary to all neighbouring countries, car licences are NOT valid for 50 or 125cc in Switzerland.
For 50cc, you need category F (up to 45km/h) or any larger bike licence (A1 - up to 125cm³ and 11KW, or A - unlimited bikes).
- Category F (50cm³, am 45km/h): 12 months learner permit after passing theory test. These things are slow, and tuning isn't taken lightly. Forget about that one...
- Category A1 (125cm³, max 11KW / 15hp or 50cm³ unlimited speed if under 18 years old)): 8 hours base instructions. 4 months learner period, then another 12 months after passing 8h practical test (if you have car licence category B)
- Category A step-up licence (bikes below 35KW and with maximum kW/weight ratio of 0,16kW/kg): minimum 18 years of age, 12hours minimum practitical riding instructions, learner period available.
- Category A direct entry (unlimited over 35KW): minimum 25 years of age, 12hours minimum practitical riding instructions, learner period available.
