Mopeds or Scooters (Class 6D)
ChangeTo obtain a Class 6D moped or scooter licence, you have to take a 6-hour theoretical and practical driving course and pass the SAAQ's knowledge and vision tests.
A Class 6D licence allows its holder to drive only a moped or motorized scooterA 2- or 3-wheel passenger vehicle equipped with an electric motor or a gasoline-powered engine with a cylinder capacity of no more than 50 cc and an automatic transmission..
If you hold a driver's licence or a probationary licence of any class – other than Class 8 − you may drive a scooter.
