Furthermore, you do not need a test certificate if you have a valid driver's license.

The test certificate entitles the holder to drive motorcycles with a maximum design speed of 25 km/h (moped), so-called light mopeds (maximum engine capacity 30 cm³, maximum design speed 20 km/h), electronic mobility aids with a maximum design speed of 20 km/h, as well as two-wheeled motor vehicles of class L1e-B and three-wheeled motor vehicles of classes L2e-P and L2e-U, if their design ensures that the maximum speed on level ground is limited to a maximum of 25 km/h. The test certificate is issued to the holder of the test certificate.

The training is carried out by a driving instructor who holds a driving instructor's license for class A and includes at least six double lessons of theory and one double lesson of 90 minutes of practical training in individual lessons or at least two double lessons of 90 minutes each in group lessons.

For admission to the theoretical moped test, you must present your training certificate to the officially recognized expert and examiner for motor vehicle traffic at the Technical Test Center (TP) for Motor Vehicle Traffic (in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the TP is officially recognized by DEKRA). After passing the test, the TP will issue you with the moped test certificate. The test certificate or a driving license replacing it must always be carried when driving a moped.

If you lose the test certificate, you must contact the test center that issued it for a replacement test certificate to be issued.

Taking the theoretical moped test and issuing the test certificate incurs fees and expenses that are determined by the technical inspection agency. These are set in the schedule of fees for road traffic measures at 10.30 €. This does not include costs incurred by the driving school for the training and the issuing of the training certificate.

In an examination, the applicant must prove that he/she has sufficient knowledge of the legal regulations governing the driving of a motor vehicle and is familiar with the dangers of road traffic, the behavior required to avert them, and can safely master the exercises for vehicle control.
