Find the right electric motorbike for your first ride
Tell us how and where you want to ride. We will help you narrow down the right type of bike, understand the legal requirements and prepare for your first test ride.
New to electric motorbikes? This guide explains where you can ride, what licence you may need, how range and charging work, and which bikes are likely to suit you.
Not sure what you are allowed to ride?
Your age, licence, CBT status and the bike's approved classification determine what you can ride on UK public roads. Off-road models are for private land with the landowner's permission and cannot be made road legal simply by adding lights or a number plate.
Use our UK electric motorbike licence guide to understand the rules and find bikes that may suit your licence.

First decision: where will you ride?
The single biggest factor in choosing your first bike is whether you will ride on public roads or on private land.
Do not assume an off-road bike can legally be used on public roads. Registration, insurance, licence requirements, road equipment and modifications must be checked for the specific model.
