Belgium
1. Driving licence AM
A driving licence AM allows the holder to drive certain mopeds and light motor vehicles with a maximum design speed of up to 45 km/h. It is the European licence category commonly used for faster mopeds, scooters and light quadricycles. The minimum age, training, theory test and practical test requirements vary between countries. Slower mopeds or electric bicycles may fall outside category AM, depending on their speed, power and national rules.
What vehicles can you drive with a category AM licence in Belgium?
Category AM covers qualifying mopeds with a design speed above 25 km/h and up to 45 km/h, and light quadricycles. Speed pedelecs also fall within the applicable AM licensing rules. Do not apply the above-25-km/h moped threshold as a blanket exclusion for all light quadricycles; check the vehicle’s approved category.
Do you need an AM licence for a class A moped in Belgium?
No. A class A moped with a maximum speed of 25 km/h can be driven in Belgium without a driving licence, provided the applicable vehicle requirements are met.
Do you need an AM licence for a class B moped in Belgium?
Normally, yes. A class B moped requires category AM or another licence category valid for AM. Belgium exempts drivers born before 15 February 1961 from the requirement to hold and carry an AM licence. This Belgian exemption must not be assumed to apply abroad.
