Questions Learners Have About Moped & Moto Categories

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Moped & Moto Categories, including how questions match the official theory exam in Portugal, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

What are the main moped and motorcycle license categories in Portugal?

The main categories in Portugal are AM (mopeds), A1 (light motorcycles up to 125cc), A2 (mid-power motorcycles up to 35 kW), and A (unrestricted motorcycles), each with specific requirements.

At what age can I get a moped (AM) license in Portugal?

You can typically obtain an AM license from the age of 16 in Portugal, provided you have written parental authorization if you are under 18 years old.

Can mopeds use motorways (autoestradas) in Portugal?

No, mopeds (vehicles in category AM) are generally not permitted on motorways (autoestradas) in Portugal. This restriction is due to their lower maximum design speed of 45 km/h, which is deemed unsafe for high-speed traffic.

What are the power limits for an A2 motorcycle license in Portugal?

An A2 license in Portugal allows you to ride motorcycles with a maximum power of 35 kW, provided their power-to-weight ratio does not exceed 0.2 kW/kg, and they are not derived from a version with more than double their maximum power.

Are helmets mandatory for moped and motorcycle riders in Portugal?

Yes, wearing an approved protective helmet is mandatory for all riders and passengers of mopeds and motorcycles while circulating on public roads in Portugal, as stipulated by the Código da Estrada for safety.

Does a Category B car license allow me to drive any motorcycle in Portugal?

A Category B license primarily allows driving light automobiles. While it may permit driving mopeds if obtained before March 30, 1998, and can allow A1 equivalent motorcycles (up to 125 cm³) under specific age conditions (25+ years or with an AM license), it does not permit driving any motorcycle without further qualifications.
