The 125 training is probably the most cost-effective option for an active resident of the 18th arrondissement. With a B licence held for two years, seven hours of training are enough to ride a 125 cc scooter or motorbike. For a delivery driver, a tradesperson or an employee whose northern suburban workplace is poorly served (Saint-Denis, Aubervilliers, Pantin, Roissy), a 125 turns a 50-minute public-transport commute into a 22-minute door-to-door ride via the A1 or ring road. Models like the Honda PCX 125, Yamaha XMAX 125 or equivalent electric scooters are the most used. Paris training costs between 250 and 350 euros. The 18th has direct access to the northern ring road and the A1.
