As we already told you in the article about the “Tips to get your driver’s license,” when you opt for a motorcycle you will have to take the A-class driver’s license and with it you will be able to drive mopeds, motorcycles and motorized tricycles.

Of course, the reflective vest is necessary for the road safety. By legal requirement, in Argentina from the age of 16 you can drive mopeds as long as you do not carry passengers and you will need the authorization of your parents (or legal representative) to get the license. A moped is a motorcycle that has up to 50 cubic centimeters of displacement and cannot go more than 50 kilometers per hour.

Hard and smooth exterior with retro reflective markings, interior with a high density cushioning padding, flexible padding adhered to the padding, which adjusts the helmet to the head; tape restraint system and buckle that goes under the chin correctly holds the helmet to the head, the standard helmet ensures that, in case of accidents, your head is protected. Always wear it fastened. Remember that industrial helmets can not be used to ride a motorcycle.
