Get moving with a Kickstart moped!

The process is simple; you start by completing an application form and send it to Kickstart. You can download a form from the Download section. Once we’ve got it we’ll phone you to discuss your personal transport problem. If we’re sure that you don’t have an alternative way of getting where you need to go, we’ll see if one of the schemes that we run can help you.

To be eligible for any of our schemes you need to have (or be able to get) a provisional driving licence. If you have points on your licence, we may still be able to help you. We’ll need a copy of your licence to check this.

You’ll probably need to have a Compulsory Basic Training (CBT for short) test, and if you’re accepted onto one of our schemes we’ll pay for this for you. You’ll also need to have some safety clothing (helmet, armoured jacket, gloves and wet-weather suit) and that’s also included in the deal.

For any of our schemes, if you’re under 18 we’ll need to have signatures from your parent or guardian to say they agree to you taking part in the scheme.

Not all of our schemes will be available where you live, but here’s a list of what we’re currently doing.....

Yarmouth area scheme: If you’re eligible for this we can help you by loaning you a moped for about 3 months to help you get to work or training. You get the CBT and clothing included, and all you have to pay up-front will be £20 towards the cost of the helmet.

The scheme will cost you £10 a week. You’ll be responsible for paying for the petrol and oil to run the moped. During the loan Kickstart pays for insurance, tax and servicing for your moped.

You’ll be expected to save money towards your own transport during the 3-month loan, so that when we get our bike back you will still be able to get to work or training.

Gifting scheme: This works differently, in that you end up owning your own moped. You pay us £40 a week for 14 weeks. We cover the cost of the CBT test and all of the clothing. We help you set up an insurance policy covering the new moped you’ll be getting, and we pay for the insurance deposit to get you going. This includes a breakdown policy for emergencies. If you’re over 18 you may be able to pay the rest of the cost of the insurance monthly.

You’ll get a brand-new moped issued and, once you’ve paid us your money the bike gets transferred into your name – you own your own moped!

Service Agreements: If you’re looking to do an E2E course the people that you do your training with may be able to pay for you to use one of our mopeds while you complete your course. Get them to give us a ring to discuss whether we can set this up for you.
