Not Every Electric Motorcycle Requires A Driver’s License. See What The Brazilian Traffic Code Says About Power, Speed, And Throttle, And Find Out When It’s Necessary To Have An ACC Or Category A License

Not every two-wheeled vehicle requires a driver’s license. With the rise of electric motorcycles in Brazil, many people wonder if it is necessary to have a driver’s license to ride them. And the answer depends on specific criteria defined by the Brazilian Traffic Code (CTB).

According to Tribuna de Minas, the CTB allows a driver to ride without a license only vehicles that have a motor of up to 350 watts, a maximum speed of 25 km/h, and that do not have a manual throttle.

When these conditions are met, the electric motorcycle is classified as an electric bicycle or mobility device.

In other words, if the electric motorcycle does not have a throttle and is limited to 25 km/h, it does not require a license. In all other cases, the rule changes.

For vehicles with a more powerful motor or that reach higher speeds, it is necessary to have the Authorization to Drive Mopeds (ACC) or a driver’s license in category A.

The ACC is mandatory for those who wish to ride mopeds, defined as two or three-wheeled vehicles with an electric motor of up to 4 kW or a combustion engine of up to 50 cm³, that exceed 32 km/h, with a maximum speed of up to 50 km/h.

The process to obtain the ACC is similar to that of the driver’s license. One must be at least 18 years old, undergo a medical examination and psychological evaluation, as well as theoretical and practical lessons. Afterwards, the candidate takes the practical test at the Detran and, if approved, pays the fee to issue the document.

Although both processes are similar, obtaining the ACC tends to be cheaper. This is an option sought after by those who want to save money when starting to ride mopeds in their daily lives.

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

At over 8,800 meters above sea level, the summit of Mount Everest is made up of rocks that originated at the bottom of an ocean about 500 million years ago and were pushed to the highest point on Earth by the collision of tectonic plates.

Brazil advances with decisive tests until June, the 6×6 Guarani armored vehicle with engineering equipment enters the most important phase and can enhance the operational capability of the Army.

At 16 years old, a South African young woman creates an almost invisible earring with a camera and GPS capable of recording attackers and sending silent alerts to protect women in risky situations.

Japan finds an alternative to oil amid rising prices by transforming ocean balance into electricity with a new technology that maintains efficiency even when the sea changes.

The Pacific Ocean reveals what the cliffs of Big Sur have hidden for millennia: Pfeiffer Beach, in California, features swirling purple sand formed by garnet crystals and displays a stone arch that is illuminated by the sun in winter for just a few days each year.

A promise made to their father led three men to unearth a forgotten house that had been swallowed by time for over 70 years, in a story of memory, abandonment, and reconstruction that seems straight out of a movie.

Worlds covered by water, atmospheres filled with hydrogen, and the possibility of life beyond Earth: ocean planets are rewriting the map of cosmic search and forcing scientists to rethink where to look.

The new Renault Koleos has a screen exclusively for the passenger that is invisible to the driver, heated rear seats, and 29 assistance systems, but its Chinese competitors cost R$ 40,000 less and deliver more power.
