    right the grandparents live in france, in a shit place so ill be bored visiting, and basically i wanna know if im entitled to ride anything just when visiting,

    All i know about france is you can start riding at 15.
    And also when your on a full license, no bike in the country is allowed to exceed 100bhp, and tuning is illegal apparantly


    Help guys

    cheers fellas

    i was lead to believe you can ride any vehicle under 50cc rezzed to 33mph with no license, tax, mot insurance etc

    on a goped forum im on they all run round paris on gopeds, no lights or anything and the police dont say shit? :nerd:

    part of the eu is meaningless.. i can rent a car in spain even tho i have no licence here. they ask for a passport not your licence (did it befor so no arguing) france are bastards so will be a bit harder. you may be able to rent one tho so its worth finding a rental agent in france and asking

    do yourself a fav... ether do your full licence real quick or get a pushbike. why would you want to ride a ped in france anyway? have you SEEN french drivers?

    Ah sorry, just thought the EU, had to obey to it's shitty EU law, so assumed regulations would be similar.
