There is nothing like the thrill of opening up the engine of your motorbike on an empty, winding country road and gliding at speed – an experience as tranquil and calming as it can be adrenaline-pumping.
A part of that excitement of course comes from the element of danger that accompanies with riding and which keeps us going back for more, but it also means that we need to ensure we are fully protected when out on our motorbikes. Continue reading →

On January 19th new driving licensing rules came into effect for all riders of motorcycles, tricycles and mopeds, including new and existing license holders.
So what exactly do the new rules change, and how do they relate to you as a motorcycle rider?
Changes to Motorcycle Entitlement
The new rules that have been brought in on the back of EU legislation redefine the categories of motorcycle, while also changing the kinds of vehicle contained in those categories, and there will be two routes of access for riders to choose from:
• Progressive, otherwise known as ‘staged’, access will be available for young and inexperienced riders in regards to more powerful machines;
• New riders who already satisfy the minimum age requirement will have direct access to categories A and A2 automatically.
Existing Riders
For riders who had already earned full motorcycle entitlement before 19th January this isn’t going to be taken away under the new rules. For those of you who passed a practical category A motorcycle test before this date still won’t be able to ride a bike exceeding 25kW until two years after the pass date.
However, if you are wanting to change your motorcycle to something more powerful you will still need to adhere to the new EU legislation that governs larger engines.
New Riders
Below are the restrictions regarding the redefined motorcycle categories:
Category A1 (small motorcycles)
• the cylinder capacity must not exceed more than 125cc;
• the power output must not exceed more than 11kW;
• the power/weight ratio must not exceed 0.1kW/kg.
The minimum age for this category remains at 17.
Category A2 (medium motorcycles) – this includes motorcycles with a sidecar:
• the engine power cannot exceed 35kW;
• a power/weight ratio that does not exceed 0.2kW/kg.
The minimum age for this category is 19.
If you’d like to find out more about the different categories of motorcycle available get in touch with our expert team here at J&S Accessories on 01606 810 800.
