You can drive a moped with two, three or four wheels. What type you can drive depends on whether there is a code entered next to Category AM in your driving licence, or if you have a moped driving permit. Moped driving permits were issued until 2005.
You cannot tow a trailer with a moped.
A moped must not be able to run faster than 45 km/h.
With code 145 or 146 or a moped driving permit
You can ride a moped with two wheels.
You can drive a moped with three or four wheels if its unladen weight is no more than 150 kg. If the moped is electrically powered, the batteries should not be included in the moped’s unladen weight.
- A Category A1 driving licence is also valid for Category AM 146.
- With a moped driving permit, your driving entitlement is only valid in Norway. You can drive in other countries if you exchange your moped driving permit for a driving licence for Category AM 146.
To exchange your moped driving permit with Category AM 146, you must fill out an application form on paper and send it to your local driver and vehicle licensing office (trafikkstasjon).
