How much is a motorcycle CBT test in South Shields, Tyne and Wear?

The price varies depending on which motorcycle training company you take your compulsory basic training with, but in South Shields will typically be between £160 and £200. There are four main things that affect the price:

1. Clothing and equipment hire. This includes your safety helmet, jacket, gloves and boots. Once again it may not be included in the price, so check first.
2. Experienced or beginners CBT. If you've done your CBT before you can book an experienced CBT which usually costs less. This is because it will be shorter as you will already have been through all of the basics. Only do this if you have done at least 1 CBT and are confident riding your motorcycle or scooter.
3. Bike hire. Not all CBTs include the price of the bike hire so make sure you check if it is included in the price.
4.  Collision damage waiver. This is an insurance that will be offered to you before your training. It means that if you damage the motorcycle or scooter during your training then you will not have to pay for the repairs. It typically costs between £10 - £20 but is well worth having as repairs are much more than that.

Don't try to simply get the cheapest price, the quality of the training is the most important thing. Quality training will one day save your life.
