Introduction

The A2 license is the gateway to medium-displacement motorcycles (up to 47.5 hp).
It is available from the age of 18, and is a compulsory step before the A license.

Many motorcycle school students ask:
👉 "Can I rent a motorcycle to train before the A2 exam?"

The answer is yes, but with an important nuance:

  • You can' t rent an A2 motorcycle until you've obtained your A2 license (or its official certificate).
  • On the other hand, you can rent an A1 motorcycle (125cc) if you already have a B license + 7h training (or foreign equivalent).

It's a great way to make progress before exam day.

Can I rent a motorcycle to train for my A2 license?

👉 Yes, but not directly to A2.
Before the test, you can rent an A1 motorcycle (125cc) to work on your balance, trajectories and reflexes.

At Good Motors, for example, we offer :

  • Honda Dax 125
  • Yamaha XSR125
  • Yamaha TW125

👉 These bikes are ideal for gaining experience before moving on to an A2 in a motorcycle school.

Can I rent an A2 motorcycle without an A2 license?

👉 No.
To drive an A2 motorcycle, you must have obtained your A2 license (or the official certificate of achievement).
At Good Motors, the law is 100% respected: no license = no A2 rental.

What A2 models can I rent once I've got my licence?

Once you have your A2 license, you can access a wide range of motorcycles:

  • Royal Enfield Interceptor 650
  • Honda NX500
  • Royal Enfield Bear 650
  • Royal Enfield Himalayan
  • Royal Enfield Super Meteor

👉 All A2 bridle-compliant, perfect for training and progress.

Can I use a rental motorcycle to take the A2 test?

👉 No.
The test must be taken with an approved motorcycle school.
A1 or A2 motorcycle rental with Good Motors is only for training outside class hours and gaining experience.
