If you choose to provide your own bike, it must be LAMS approved (Learner Approved Motorcycle Scheme). Your bike must be at a warrantable standard, although it does not need to have a warrant of fitness. The following ‘pre-ride’ checks are required to be undertaken before the bike can be used:
- Handlebars and levers - secure and straight
- Suspension - secure and not leaking
- Tyres - inflated, legal tread depth, no sidewall cracks
- Brakes - adjusted and not leaking
- Footpegs - secure
- Chain - lubricated and tension ok
- Brake light - secure and working
- Headlamp or daylight running lamps - operational

Please note it is your responsibility to ensure the bike you provide meets the required safety standard. Please contact us prior to your course/test if you have any issues or questions. New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) rules prevent motorcycle riding schools from providing automatic scooters for hire for the Basic Handling Skills test. Participants must provide their own LAMS Approved automatic scooter for the test.
