The A2 licence attracts two distinct profiles in the 16th arrondissement: young lycée students seeking post-baccalaureate autonomy, and thirty-something professionals wanting to streamline commutes to La Défense or the A13. The 35 kW power cap for two years is not a strong constraint on 16th-arrondissement streets, where the 50 or 70 km/h speed limit matters more. Models like the Honda CB500X or Kawasaki Versys 650 fit this mixed city-and-motorway use. A2 training in Paris costs between 800 and 1 200 euros, and proximity to the Bois de Boulogne allows useful practice rides shortly after passing. After two infraction-free years, a 7-hour course unlocks the full A licence, freeing the bike to 70 hp or more.
