Eligibility, age & CBT

Yes — to ride an electric moped you need a UK provisional or full driving licence plus a CBT (Compulsory Basic Training) certificate. A CBT is a one-day course valid for two years. Our e-bikes (ETT Trayser 2.0 and Cycl Carr-E) need no licence and no CBT.

For a moped, 21 or over — our fleet insurance sets that limit, above the legal minimum of 17 for an L3e moped with a CBT. We rent the no-licence e-bikes from 18, which is also what delivery platforms generally require — check your platform’s own rules.

Yes — all Otto vehicles are full-size mopeds and e-bikes for adults: mopeds from 21 (CBT and licence required, an insurance limit above the legal minimum of 17), e-bikes from 18, which is what most delivery platforms require anyway.

A valid UK provisional/full driving licence and CBT certificate for mopeds, a form of ID (passport or ID card), and proof you’re registered with a delivery platform if renting for delivery. We confirm everything by email or WhatsApp before you collect.

No — no plan involves a credit check. Short Rental takes a refundable deposit instead (£200 on mopeds, £150–£200 on e-bikes), returned when you hand the bike back in the condition you collected it; Rent-to-Buy takes a £400 downpayment.

Our insurance is structured around hire-and-reward delivery. For purely personal use, short rental or pre-owned purchase is usually the better fit — get in touch and we’ll find the right plan.
