LET'S START YOUR JOURNEY
It's our mission to spread the freedom and joy of motorcycling to as many people as possible.
To ride a Maeving, all you need is a CBT, which stands for Certificate of Basic Training. Essentially, it's a one-day course that equips you with all you need to safely ride a motorcycle or moped.
BEGIN YOUR ADVENTURE
Riding on two wheels is a great way to get around town. It's fast, it's clean and is often the most economical way to travel.
To help you on your way, we have created the New Rider Programme, which will reimburse the cost of your CBT as well as £50 worth of accessories once you become a Maeving owner.
So, if all that's standing between you and owning a Maeving is the right licence, now is the time to sign up. Offer is valid from 24th Feb, 2024.
HOW IT WORKS
Sign up to receive the cost of your CBT course back up to the value of £160, provided you have passed within 30 days of ordering your bike.
After purchasing either a Maeving RM1 or RM1S, please send proof of your certificate, the VAT receipt of your CBT, and your bank account details to support@maeving.com. We will then reimburse the price of your CBT, plus the £50 accessory offer, by sending the amount to your bank account.
Disclaimer: if you choose to cancel or return your Maeving, we will refund the price of the bike minus the price you paid for your CBT. Offer is valid from 24th Feb, 2024.

GETTING YOUR CBT
We're here to help guide you through booking, attending, and passing your CBT, as well as to answer any questions you may have about becoming a biker.
WHAT HAPPENS ON THE DAY?
There are five simple stages to completing a CBT course. These are:
- Introduction: overview of the course and a basic eyesight test (don't forget your glasses if you need them!).
- Motorcycle theory: learn the basic controls and maintenance of motorcycling.
- On-site riding: get a feel for starting, stopping, steering, and balancing in a controlled space.
- Road theory: learn the rules of the road and how to ride safely with other road users.
- Riding on the road: at least two hours of riding on the roads. That's it. You're now ready to confidently hit the road.
WHAT DO I NEED TO PREPARE?
To put your mind at ease, read the following reminders to ensure you're ready for the course.
- Bring a UK provisional or full driver's licence. EU license holders must bring a completed D9 form and EU license photocard, obtained in advance.
- Wear abrasion-resistant clothing, such as a leather jacket and reinforced denim jeans, as well as good quality boots. Most CBT centres will have helmets and gloves.
- Revise the Highway Code, learn about the basic functions of motorcycling in advance, and watch CBT training videos on YouTube to feel prepared.
- Arrive on time. If you are late, you will not be allowed to take the course. Plan your journey, double check timings, and aim to get there early.
