Three-wheeled motor scooter insurance

Didn't get your car license (B) before 19-01-2013? Then you are in possession of a 'new driving license'. With the new driving licenses obtained in the Netherlands from 19-01-2013, you need a motorcycle driving license (A) to drive a three-wheeled motor scooter. To obtain a motorcycle license, it is not necessary to already be in possession of a car license.

Since 19-01-2013, the motorbike driving licence has been divided into three categories, namely: A1, A2 and A.

Category A1

This license can be obtained from the age of 18.
For this category there is a maximum of 125 CC and 11 KW power for motorcycles.
There is no maximum CC for tricycles, the maximum power for tricycles is 15 KW.

Category A2

If the driver has held an A1 license for at least two years, category A2 can be obtained. It is also possible to enter without an A1 license, from the age of 20.
A maximum power of 35 KW applies to category A2.

Category A

The minimum age to take the exam for category A is 21. If the driver obtains the A license before he or she reaches the age of 24, code 80 may appear on the license. Code 80 expires two years after obtaining category A license or if you turn 24 before then. If you have already obtained the A2 driving license before obtaining the A license, code 80 will expire when you have been in possession of driving license category A2 for two years. When the code expires, you may drive a heavy motorcycle (A) without having to take an additional exam. If you are not yet 24 years old, you must apply for a new license at the municipality. If you do not do this, code 80 will not expire until you are 24 years old.

The most well-known three-wheeled motor scooter is the Piaggio MP3 (LT). In 2006 Piaggio introduced the world's first motor scooter with dual front wheels that could be driven with a car licence. Nowadays, more and more alternatives are appearing on the market, such as the:

• Gilera Fuoco 500 LT
• Peugeot Metropolis 400(i)
• Yamaha Tricity (125 cc)*
  *To ride the Yamaha Tricity (125 cc), unlike the above motor scooters, you must hold an A1 license

Are you looking for good and affordable insurance for your three-wheeled motor scooter? At Alpina, you can get insurance quickly and easily.

The premium is determined based on several factors. The amount of the premium depends on the specifications of the motor scooter, the type, the weight and the number of cc. In addition, your personal information comes into play, such as your age, place of residence and number of claim-free years. You can find the possible motor scooter insurance cover on this page. You can choose whether you want to insure accessories. This is not an obligation.

This is the basic coverage and cheapest motor scooter insurance. It covers the damage you cause with your motor scooter to third parties, but not the damage to your own motor scooter. Read more.
