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.
