Scooter drivers in Luxembourg need to be at least 16 years old and be in possession of the corresponding driver's license. Replying to a parliamentary question by MP Gilles Roth, Minister for Mobility François Bausch, stressed that the government was not considering to lower the minimum age for riding a 50cc moped.
Roth had drawn parallels with France, where the minimum age is only 14 rather than 16. Belgium's law in this context comes closer to Luxembourg's legislation. Belgian moped drivers can drive a 50cc vehicle at the age of 15 years and 9 months, after they have passed a theoretical exam.
In Luxembourg, moped drivers need to complete 12 hours in theory courses and 7 hours in practical training. Bausch nevertheless specified that the government was planning on reforming the training period required to obtain the driver's license.
