SusieQ Solex Amsterdam - Solex driving

No, not all Solexes drive at the same speed. This may be related to the adjustment of the moped or the weight of the driver. 

You can drive a Solex from the age of 16. The person in question must also be in possession of a valid moped or car driver's license.

A Solex is a light moped. Legally, Solexes built before 1974 can be converted to light mopeds. They have a moped plate, but because they only drive at 25 km/h, it remains a moped. You are not obliged to wear a helmet due to these regulations, but we do recommend this.

In most cases, you will be contacted to reschedule the appointment. There is also the possibility at some organizations to receive a bad weather voucher, a new date is not immediately planned.

It is advisable to wear old clothes, because you can get dirty on the way during the tour. In addition, we advise you to always wear long pants and a garment with long sleeves, an accident is sometimes in a small corner. Sometimes it can also be another road user that puts you at risk, prevention is always better than cure.”
