Which class of driving license is required to drive motorcycles with a power output exceeding 35 kW?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is the Class A license. Under Spanish regulations, this is the unrestricted motorcycle license, authorizing the driving of motorcycles and motor tricycles with no limits on power or engine capacity.  To understand why the other options are incorrect, we must review the tiered system of licenses: Class A1 license: Authorizes motorcycles up to 125 cc and a maximum power of 11 kW. Class A2 license: Authorizes motorcycles with a maximum power of 35 kW (approximately 47 CV). Therefore, once a motorcycle exceeds the 35 kW threshold, it is no longer valid for the A2 license and the A license is required.
