BSR License in Lyon

In Lyon, the BSR price (200 to 300 euros) does not cover the future maintenance cost of the 50 cc scooter (service, tyres, brakes) nor occasional fees (insurance sticker, replacement gear). This grid in department 69 helps families anticipate the annual budget in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.

Note: Lyon is part of the communes with a Low Emission Zone active since 2020 (Crit'Air 3, 4, 5 and unclassified vehicles banned, Crit'Air 2 restriction planned in 2026 (regime subject to the abolition law voted in April 2026)), to be anticipated when choosing the training vehicle and for later use.

The BSR - AM License in Lyon means mastering plateau manoeuvres, circulation training in real conditions and specific equipment (approved helmet, CE-certified gloves, high-visibility gear). Two-wheelers are particularly exposed to blind spots, lane splitting rules and interactions with heavy vehicles. In this context, the Low Emission Zone active since 2020 (Crit'Air 3, 4, 5 and unclassified vehicles banned, Crit'Air 2 restriction planned in 2026 (regime subject to the abolition law voted in April 2026)) applies equally to two-wheelers: a Crit'Air certificate is mandatory, and access restrictions must be anticipated when choosing an itinerary. Our partner schools tailor training to the traffic density observed in the department 69.

The BSR (AM licence) in Lyon concerns middle and high schoolers from age 14, attractive in a metropolis where distances between districts (Croix-Rousse, Part-Dieu, Vaise, Gerland, Monplaisir) and high schools may require mobility. The 50 cc scooter or light quadricycle offers useful autonomy, complementary to the TCL network (metro, trams, buses). Training, eight hours (150 to 300 euros in Lyon), follows ASSR validated at middle school. It is often entry into motorised mobility, followed years later by A2 at age 18 for enthusiasts or directly the B licence via AAC at age 15.
