i am currently 18 years old and i have my alberta learners licence.

currently i am looking into means of transportation that i can use but i cannot find anything online that is definite and will tell me all the information that i need.

as a learner it states that i can use (copied from the official site)

• a vehicle or vehicle-trailer combination
that the holder of a Class 5 driver’s
licence may operate
• a motorcycle (must be 16 years of
age or older when learning with
a supervisor who holds a Class 6 non
-GDL licence)
• a moped


yet when i search for the definition of a moped i cannot get a clear enough answer on the cc of moped i can use.

http://www.transportation.alberta.ca/Content/docType45/Production/MopedPowerBikes.pdf

the above website states that i can only use a 50cc engine yet i can go 70km/h which a 50cc engine would not allow for that speed.

i just need some help understanding what cc of a engine i can and cannot use because 50cc is not enough and also moped's are defined as up to over 125cc.


sorry if you do not understand me completely, just leave a comment and i will get back to you as soon as possible.

they told you exactly what they consider an eligible moped in the second link.

i honestly don't know what to tell you other than stop being 18 with a learners permit.

usually these rules apply to 15-16 year olds so ofc being an 18 year old these rules are going to be goofy for you.

yeah so if i were to get a moped with higher cc than 50cc couldnt i just put a governor on it so it only goes a certain speed?

50cc is the limit on engine size according to that so i'm gonna go with no.

guidelines are there to cover their ass not to be practical. a 50cc moped is ofc gay and slow as balls, but they are also aiming those guidelines at 14-16 year olds who need nothing more than a way to get to school without their parents driving them or taking the bus.

okay well thank you for helping me out man, tommorow i am going to go to the licences office and see what i can do

and i did want to get my learners earlier but life got in the way and getting a licence was no longer important to me for awhile.
