petrol costs ?
depend..
lot of factors..
on which school u take from.
is the quene long to wait for TP...etc.
on whether u those fast learner..
and how intensive u go for the bike lesson..
normal phase .. those 1 week 1 lesson like that..
plus waiting for tp.
is 6 -9 months..
that is if u pass the first try
whole course.
think u set $1k aside.
is motorcycle classes sequential ?
yes..
2b to 2a.. up..
after u get 2b.. wait one yr to apply to enroll for 2a..
so on. so for.
U have't enroll 2b want to aim for 2a..
take it easy..
for normal road bike 2B..
brand new.. is $3k up.
petrol cost..
depend on which bike u riding..
normally range from $5 - $20
for 2B bike -
tell u what u need to knw that cannot be found in this website http://www.ssdcl.com.sg
i think $1k is far too much,u might need about 500-600 in average.if ur the CMI one uh then i think its near 800.
6-9 months also is too much,but i guess its in average too.currently im taking at ssdc,enrolled on my 18th birthday in march and now im in prac 8.but of course im schooling..so its easy.
at SSDC,prac 1 to prac 3 there are slots up to three times a week,which means that say ur currently taking prac 1 on monday,then u fail,u can book for it again on wednesday,fail again then on friday so forth.
but starting prac 4 the slot gap kinda get a bit longer...then proceed on prac 5,it gets longer and so forth.
the only difficult practical lessons u need to get through i think is prac 5 and prac 8.
its an assessment than a lesson.
if u want to get ur license fast then i advise u when it comes to prac 5,7 and 8,dont take it at night,at night very hard to pass...very suey...poor lighting at ssdc.
heck i advise u for all lessons not to take at night at all with the exceptional of prac 6 whereby u have to take at least one night lesson.
for traffic police test,dont worry,in a month average there is about 4 tests conduct by the TP at ssdc,so...if ur fast learner,ull get them fast.
oh ya riding theory test,u need to wait for it at least 2 weeks.fail,wait two weeks.
last but not least...dont think too much about bike's price tag now,coz itll change by the time u pass ur TPPT.and 2a?dont even think about it,u must pass ur 2b and wait one year from the date u passed till u can enrol for 2a.
thats all,the rest u can get the info from the website i gave.all of those information above are solely based on my experience in SSDC,donno bout the rest.oh ya b4 i forgot...ssdc dont have any 1.01 1.02..that one only at BBDC.
btw ive a difficult F******** time to pass my prac 8!urgh!damn instructors. -
How long does it require if i take up riding .... from basic theory all the way till licence ...
i did mine in about 4-5 months
how is the learning like ?
lessons by lessons..different school got slightly different variations..
how much will the entire course cost ?
i spend about $800 i think
is motorcycle classes sequential ? (eg. have to learn from the lowest cc? 2b-2a-2 ?? )
yes.
how much does a normal bike like vespa gt , gilera runner , phantom, x9 evo cost ? (btw - what kind of bikes can i ride with a class 2a ? )
depends. first hand can go about 6k. second hand 3k.
2a can ride super 4.
petrol costs ?
depends on your bike. from $3 to $13 also have. -
around 4 months?Originally posted by kukububu:Please equipt me with what i need to know ...

when around prac 3 or 4, chiong ur theory.
learning should not be a problem, instructors will teach u step by step.
500 should be enough.
class not really useful. if u want more 'sut' bikes, u go higher and higher the class. if u wan relac and transport only, 2b should be good enough for u.
my mgr bought his gilera around 5k if i not wrong, phantom if not wrong again 2-3k. rest not so sure. 2a, my friend told me got 1 harley is in 2a.
if u want save on petrol cost, buy a wave. heard it saves money good. mileage. -
LoudnessFZ, what do you mean it is hard to pass at night? Isn't it much more cooling than in the day, and less traffic? And what makes it 'suay'?
Anyway what do you mean have to take at least one night lesson? Do you mean 1 lesson in prac 6 or one night lesson from prac 1-8? -

u enrolled already?if u do...just wait till u go prac 5..and go book night session..ull know what i mean

well its up to individual..for me riding at night not just cooling,but it affects
ur focus and ur vision and less alert.riding during the day yeah its hot
but im more alert,focus,and i can see very well...get what i mean?
for practical 6,the rules in SSDC as well as CDC says..u have to take up at least one night lesson before u can proceed to prac 7.
my guess is they wanted to let trainees experience night riding as well as
day riding,coz its really..totally..different...prac 6 in ssdc is just general riding,
means that they will take u to tour the road around ang mo kio and then
let u practice U turns. -

If just for transport bike, don't go anything less the 125cc & not more then 180cc.
My first bike is Piaggio Hexagon 180cc 2 stoke water cool. Bought $800 for 8year old bike. Very fast scooter bike. Maximum speed I reach is 150km/hr. Skidded once during rain & bump by a stupid driver once when I was fully stopped at a junction. No injury involved.
Then I changed to Honda Wave 125cc 4 stoke air cool. Maximum speed I reach 110km/hr. Petrol not more then $60 for 1200km per month. Insurance is $99 per year third party depend on your age. Bike brand new cost $3700. I would never sold it if I did not get an overseas job. Super transport bike that can carry a lot of things. I have 2 basket + box. No accident on this bike.
Last July I bought an Piaggia Sifera. 80cc 2 stoke air cool for my holiday trip to Singapore. Maximum speed I reach 90km/hr single person. It's too cheap to pass by. Bought S$500 only 2 year old bike with less than 3000km on the meter. Third party insurance is $100. Road tax $80 a year. Petrol is heavier because smaller CC & Scooter. Not recommend for daily long transport usage cause high petrol & no power at all. Short daily transport very useful & relax. No accident on this bike.
See my reverse trend of getting smaller & smaller bike? Because I always think, if I have more power I risk my life on the road. If I have smaller power, I take every precaution. Still Singapore road do not have to run so fast. average 60~80km is more then enough. This only people who have involved in accident will fully understand. Don't speed.
Furthermore, the first 1~2 years on biking is your most dangerous period. Also when you buy bigger bike & on loan. If involved in accident, medical fee, repair fee, bike loans, laywer fee & fines all comes together. I personally seen a few people riding 250cc 500cc or bigger bikes in such situations. They have to sell the bike after repair at huge lost of $ & go take bus or convert to smaller bikes. So beware.
DO NOT SPEED & KEEP RIDING LESSER CC BIKE. I know it safe my life. I really hope people out there understand this. Best if someone can pass this to Traffic Police & promote on small CC bike. Give us Road Tax rebate or some benefits for converting to smaller CC Bike. It save life, make our road safer, cleaner air & more people are there contributing to the Country. -

Don't get this licence, go get a class 3 license and drive car instead!
If you have financial problem in having a car, then better take public transports. In Singapore, just walk a few steps and you can see a road, a bus stop even MRT station in front of you, unlike those countries got a lot of villages and under developed, moto bikes and bicycles could be a MUST for their people.
Singapore's road condition is so busy and no longer suitable for motor bikes and bicycles! Too dangerous liao!
You are now 17 turning 18, your parents have been trying so hard, spending so much money and put in so much effort in bringing you up, they must have full of hope on you. So you should take good care of your own body, try your best not to do anything that might make their hope gone!
To a lot of young man, riding moto bike just like smoking cigarette, they think it looks sard sard and very wu sey, but in fact it is totally nothing at all. Nowadays in Singapore, people doing these activities are in fact not only buay sard and bo seh but also "not intelligent" at all.
Unless you have no choice and your job needs you to have it and it is a MUST, don't ride motor bike or bicycles! NOT WORTH IT! -
to surfer188,its just so easy if u say class 2b bike.
and its up to people to choose what they want.
if u want to save life,road safe,cleaner air bla2,den go write to government
ask them to ban people from riding.and u can rally ppl to promote to them
buying more bicycles than bikes,and become like Dr.Chee.
ur just not practical.
and to baruku_9
u dont need to nag,just let em choose their choice,there are a lot of motorbikes
and bicycle on the road.if it IS SO VERY EXAGGERATINGLY DANGEROUS then i guess,we,singaporeans,can all count how many bikes there are in singapore.
10?20?5???
and if u drive a car,ur in the wrong place,BETTER GO ADVISE THOSE RETARDS
WHO DRINK AND DRIVE AND HIT AND RUN AND KILLED.they are the one who
really make the road in singapore dangerous,get the picture???
no?well here it is
imagine a DRUNKEN DRIVER ON A VAN WHO DROVE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE TAMPINES EXPRESSWAY -
you are wrong.Originally posted by BaruKu_9:Unless you have no choice and your job needs you to have it and it is a MUST, don't ride motor bike or bicycles! NOT WORTH IT!
the dangerous ones are those on 4 wheels, not 2 wheels.. -
just be extra careful on the roads -
yes. 4 wheels are the dangerous 1.2 wheels are the dangered 1.Originally posted by R3SsH|n:you are wrong.
the dangerous ones are those on 4 wheels, not 2 wheels.. -
Yalor yalor, you are absolutely correct! The dangerous ones are those on 4 wheels, they are very dangerous to those riding 2 wheels ones right?Originally posted by R3SsH|n:you are wrong.
the dangerous ones are those on 4 wheels, not 2 wheels..
They just need to give a light kiss to those riding 2 wheels ones and can easily make them lying flat or even fly away on the road! Worst thing is that the next on 4 wheels might follow up and roll over those poor 2 wheels ones who are lying on the road!

Hi everyone, I am interested in taking the 2b licence, and would like enquire about some doubts.
1) So how should I go about doing this? Do I have to take a theory test before going to the practical?
2) What's the difference between private schools and normal schools? I heard there's one at Bukit Batok right? What school is that? I intend to go there as it is near to my current school.
3) Do i go over there to register for it? What is needed if I were to register over there?
4) Is there any registration fees I have to pay? Or do I only have to pay for the practical lessons?
Thanks all. -
if ah..
next time i want to buy a scooter; how much is it, and must get what license?
XD -
Cool...scooter, get a vespar, its cute and good for a scooter.Originally posted by missqi:if ah..

There are scooters for class 2b and 2a, depending on the model and cc, prices are also depending on whether its brand new or 2nd hand as well as model and cc.
There is a large range of scooters avaliable for you to choose. =) -
Depends on which make the scooter, how old and your age.Originally posted by missqi:if ah..

Scooter can cost as little as $400/- for a old beat up ahpek vespa which you can respray or do up. Brand new scoots from distributor may cost highest $10,000/-
Then there is considerations for the Road Tax, ERP Units, your insurances & the parking fees. Miscellanous that you will need will be parking coupons, Cashcard, petrol & oil change bike maintenance services.
For riding most scooters.
Class 2b licence can liao.
Cost: $600/- minimum to get the licence. No need pay one shot. Your first paymen is roughly $130/-; for the registrations, and possibly some credit $$$ to start your practical lessons.
And it probable to get it within 3 months, if you are good with your lessons. -
1)There is 3 driving schools in Singapore giving motorcycle riding training. They are SSDC, CDC & BBDC.Originally posted by technoboy:Hi everyone, I am interested in taking the 2b licence, and would like enquire about some doubts.

Singapore Safety Driving Centre~Ang Mo Kio
Comfort Driving Centre~Ubi
Bukit Batok Driving Centre~ As the name suggest.
Please do a yahoo search for them online and find one nearest to you. Preferably one near your school or work place so you can go for lessons after school/work.
and yah....when you register for the course, it includes in theory lessons & the basic theory test liao. And Yes....you need to pass your basic theory test before you can proceed to book for the Final Theory/Bike Theory Test and then the practical test that provide you your licence.
2) There is no difference. Singapore does not have private PRIVATE riding schools. They are all private limited
3) You can register online, but you still need to go down to the school in person to hand over passport pictures of yourself, take the eye test & collect your dates & the booklets for your lessons and book your basic theory test.
Bring along your IC, photographs and roughly $130/- cash to pay for stuffs.
4) Yes. You will most likely have to pay for registration and some lessons as well as book your date for your Basic Theory Test. And if you got spare cash, can pay for your practical lessons first. As and when your credit runs out, then you top it up with more cash to ensure smooth booking of other practical lessons and the final tests.
