How to apply for your driver’s license for a motorcycle and what it costs.
The cost of the motorcycle driver’s license in Zug
The cost of a motorcycle driver’s license is as follows:
- Learner’s license in the canton of Zug: CHF 60.-
- 3 basic course modules: CHF 600.-
- 5 driving hours: CHF 500.-
- Examination fee Canton Zug: CHF 120.-
- Driver’s license canton Zug: CHF 50.-
All in all, the motorcycle driving license will cost you about CHF 1’330.-.
Depending on how many driving lessons you need and whether you have the A1 category, the costs can still vary somewhat.
How long the learner’s permit is valid for
- Category A1: 4 months, extended for 12 months after the basic course. If you already have the category B, the validity ends after 4 months
- Category A 35kW: 4 months, extended for 12 months after the basic course. If you don’t have to do the basic course (A1), then the learner’s permit is valid for 12 months.
- Category A: 12 months
We recommend you to go through the exam quickly. Often the season is driven through with a learner’s permit and a new learner’s permit is purchased for the new season. Unfortunately, this only works twice. After that, you won’t get a learner’s permit. You also learn a lot about safety in driving school. Since riding a motorcycle is dangerous, it pays to complete the training early.
Where you can apply for the driver’s license
It all starts with a completed form to apply for a learner’s permit. You can find the learner’s permit application for the canton of Zug here. If you have not yet taken your car test, you still need to take the Zug first aid course and the sea test.
Why you need a driver’s license for a motorcycle
As described above, the required driver’s license category depends on the performance of the motorcycle.
Can I also take the basic course in English?
Yes. We always announce the basic course in German. However, since it is a very practical course and we are driving a lot, there is rather little talking. Therefore, we can continuously translate the instructions or give you the feedback in English. English-speaking students are therefore very welcome.
