Riding entitlement

What can I ride with an A1 licence?

Category A1 covers motorcycles with a maximum engine size of 125cc, a maximum power of 11 kW and a power-to-weight ratio of up to 0.1 kW/kg, in line with the specifications laid down for the category.

In everyday language A1 is described as “the 125 licence”. What matters, though, is whether the specific vehicle meets all of the category's specifications.

Requirements

Who can obtain A1?

From age 18

Category A1 can be obtained once you have reached the age of 18, provided the conditions laid down are met.

A1 or code 121?

A1 is a normal licence category with no national geographical restriction. Code 121 is a national code added to category B, under specific conditions, which allows you to ride A1 vehicles within Greece only. Code 121 is not the same thing as obtaining a normal A1 licence.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the A1 licence

From the age of 18.

Motorcycles up to 125cc, up to 11 kW and with a power-to-weight ratio of up to 0.1 kW/kg, in line with the specifications of the category.

No. 125cc is only one of the technical limits. The motorcycle must meet all of the category's specifications, that is the power limit and the power-to-weight ratio as well.

You have two options: either a normal extension of your licence to category A1, or — provided the conditions are met — looking at the case of code 121.

No. A normal A1 licence and the national code 121 are different cases.

Both are possible at our school. If you take the practical examination on an automatic bike, the category on your licence carries code 78 and is valid only for vehicles without a clutch. With a clutch there is no such restriction. Code 78 concerns the transmission of that category and is not a legal condition for extending to a higher category. If you want to get used to operating a clutch now, for riding motorcycles with manual transmission later, training with a clutch may be the better choice.

The Medical PIN is issued through the digital driving licence procedure and is used by the doctors to register their medical certificates electronically. Once the online application is complete and the PIN has been issued, you can visit a pathologist and an ophthalmologist.

The cost depends on your existing licence and on the procedure required. Ask us for a quote for your own case.
