Can I do my driving test on a Monkey (BIKE!)?

Hello Lads,

I know this sounds a little crazy.. But thought it would be a good laugh.

Does anyone know if it's legal to do my bike test on a Monkey Bike?

They can be got with over 150cc engine, have all the neccessay lights/indicaters/speedo/manual gears... they can be completly road legal.

Imagine turning up for your test on that thing!!

op you seem to have alot of free time on your hand.

If it's road legal, then it's road legal.

But I'm sure there's a clause somewhere that allows the tester to refuse to carry out a test on safety grounds, even if the vehicle is road legal. In the case of a monkey bike, you're too low to the ground to be safe in traffic.

Though yes, it would be hilarious
Sounds like a sketch you should sell to a hidden camera show.

And what about my other hand?!

Yeah, really need some clarification on this! I can't see the health and safety thing holding up if it's all ready been deemed safe for road use?

For instance, could I do my bike test on a bike with a side car?! Surely that's cheating too?!

I wanna do my test on a monkey bike, and kick the test's ass!

YES!!!

What if I was an odd shapped little creature and a monkey bike was the perfect machine for my prefered riding style and I felt completely comfortable with my riding position on one?! :eek:

What If I was poor, and the only thing I could afford was a Hu Wai Ma Ling Lang Chinese Monkey Bike for 200euro delivered to my door?! :eek:

Also, I would like to know if I could do my Garda BikeSafe, and my Aon assesment on one?!

Good cheap way to get into biking...

What if you were a troll?

I agree with the bit that it would be funny to do your test on a monkey bike, but I disagree that is a cheap way to get into biking. If you can only afford a new monkey bike then you would be better off buying a decent second hand 'normal' bike instead. I don't know of any large cc monkey bikes but from what I've seen if you buy a Chinese Wing-Wang Monkey-ped for daily use you will spend a lot of time pushing it.

a friend of mine has a 150cc one that he built and suped up, problem is they have a clone honda 50 type engine so no clutch= restricted full license to automatics
