French motorcycle and tricycle licensing regulations

Overview

Regulations in France allow drivers with a standard Category B license to operate certain motorcycles, scooters, and three-wheeled motor tricycles, such as the Piaggio MP3 500, provided they meet specific criteria. These requirements include holding the license for at least two years and completing a mandatory seven-hour training course.

Recent developments include the market introduction of the KTM 125 SMC R, a model designed for both A1 license holders and Category B license holders seeking an alternative to standard scooters. The vehicle features supermotard ergonomics and is intended for urban maneuverability.
