For residents of Paris (2,102,650 inhabitants, department 75) already holding the Class B licence for 2 years, the 125cc Training opens a new daily mobility. This mandatory 7-hour training is organised in approved driving schools nearby and issues, with no final exam, an attestation to keep with the driving title.

Some areas of Paris or department 75 apply a low-emission zone (ZFE) that restricts the most polluting vehicles.

The 125cc Training in Paris 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 2024 (Crit'Air 3, 4, 5 and unclassified vehicles banned) 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 75.
