Register NowFrequently Asked Questions About the B196 Extension.
What exactly is the B196 extension?
The code number 196 is added to your existing Class B driver's license and allows you to ride light motorcycles up to 125cc (max. 11 kW). You don't need an extra exam – just driver training at a driving school.
What are the requirements for B196?
You must be at least 25 years old and have held a Class B driver's license for at least 5 years. No eye test, no medical examination – just the driver training.
Do I have to take an exam?
No. Neither a theoretical nor a practical exam is required. You complete driver training with at least 4 theory and 5 practical units of 90 minutes each. With our certificate, you go straight to the licensing office.
Can I ride with B196 abroad?
No, the B196 extension is valid exclusively in Germany. Abroad, you need a Class A1 driver's license, which requires regular training with an exam.
Does B196 also apply to scooters?
Yes – B196 entitles you to ride all light motorcycles and scooters up to 125cc and max. 11 kW, whether manual or automatic.
