1Under Danish traffic legislation (Færdselsloven), what is the maximum cylinder capacity permitted for a Category A1 light motorcycle?
A.125 cm³
B.50 cm³
C.250 cm³
D.400 cm³
Explanation: Category A1 (lille motorcykel) covers light motorcycles with an engine cylinder capacity not exceeding 125 cm³. If the engine exceeds 125 cm³, the vehicle falls into Category A2 or Category A.
2What is the maximum engine power output allowed for a Category A1 motorcycle in Denmark?
A.4 kW
B.11 kW
C.7 kW
D.35 kW
Explanation: Danish and European regulations establish an engine power limit of 11 kW (approximately 15 hp) for Category A1 motorcycles. An engine exceeding 11 kW requires a Category A2 or Category A licence.
3What is the maximum permissible power-to-weight ratio for a two-wheeled Category A1 motorcycle under Danish regulations?
A.0.1 kW/kg
B.0.2 kW/kg
C.0.25 kW/kg
D.0.5 kW/kg
Explanation: A Category A1 motorcycle must not exceed a power-to-weight ratio of 0.1 kW/kg. This ensures that even at the maximum 11 kW power output, the motorcycle unladen kerb weight cannot be less than 110 kg.
4What is the statutory minimum tyre tread depth required across the main tread pattern of a motorcycle tyre in Denmark?
A.0.5 mm
B.1.6 mm
C.3.0 mm
D.1.0 mm
Explanation: According to Færdselsstyrelsen and the Danish Road Traffic Act, motorcycle tyres must have a minimum tread depth of 1.0 mm in the main pattern over the entire circumference. Although 1.6 mm applies to passenger cars, the legal minimum for motorcycles is 1.0 mm, though road safety bodies recommend replacement at 2-3 mm.
5What are the legal requirements for the service braking system on a Category A1 motorcycle during a technical check?
A.Two independent braking systems capable of operating the motorcycle's service brakes
B.A single combined lever operating both wheels simultaneously with no secondary system
C.Only a front wheel disc brake, with the rear wheel relying on engine braking
D.A mechanical foot brake operating all wheels, with a handlebar parking catch
Explanation: A motorcycle must have two independent service-brake systems. A conventional geared motorcycle normally uses a right-hand lever for the front brake and a right-foot control for the rear, but control layout can differ on approved designs such as scooters or combined-braking systems. The candidate checks effective operation, control travel, fluid level where visible, and absence of leaks or damage.
6What is the legal requirement regarding the motorcycle headlamp during daytime riding in Denmark?
A.The low beam (nærlys) or dedicated daytime running light must be illuminated at all times
B.Lights are required only when riding in heavy rain or dense fog
C.Headlights may be switched off during daylight hours to conserve battery power
D.The high beam (fjernlys) must be permanently illuminated to maximize visibility
Explanation: In Denmark, motorcyclists are legally obliged to ride with dipped headlights (nærlys) or dedicated approved daytime running lights on at all times, day and night. This mandatory daytime running light rule significantly increases motorcycle conspicuity for other road users.
7What are the technical requirements for the turn direction indicators on an A1 motorcycle according to Færdselsstyrelsen task cards?
A.They must show white light to the rear and red light to the front, flashing 30 times per minute
B.They must show steady non-flashing blue light visible from 50 metres
C.They may flash at any frequency between 10 and 200 flashes per minute
D.They must show amber/yellow light clearly visible in bright sunlight, flashing 60 to 120 times per minute
Explanation: Færdselsstyrelsen specifications mandate that direction indicators must emit amber (yellow) light that is clearly visible even in direct bright sunlight, with a flashing rate of 60 to 120 pulses per minute (1 to 2 Hz).
8When checking the motorcycle drive chain during a pre-ride inspection, what should the rider verify?
A.The chain must be completely dry and free of lubricants to prevent dirt accumulation
B.The chain must be lubricated, clean, free from rust, and have the manufacturer-specified slack (typically 15 to 30 mm)
C.The chain must be tensioned as tightly as possible with zero slack
D.The chain should sag loosely below the swingarm to avoid tensioning the rear shock
Explanation: A motorcycle drive chain must be kept clean, free from rust, and properly lubricated. It must have the correct vertical slack (commonly 15 to 30 mm midway between the sprockets, as stated in the owner manual); excessive tightness damages bearings while excessive slack risks chain derailment.
9How does a candidate correctly test for wear or play in the steering head bearings (styrfittings) on a motorcycle?
A.Hold the front brake firmly, rock the motorcycle forward and backward, feeling for any play or knock in the steering head
B.Rev the engine to high RPM while stationary and listen for handlebar vibrations
C.Press down on the rear seat and bounce the rear suspension repeatedly
D.Turn the ignition key and verify that the steering lock indicator illuminates on the dash
Explanation: To check the steering head bearings for looseness, the rider firmly applies the front hand brake and rocks the motorcycle forward and backward while feeling for clunking, free play, or movement in the steering column. Turning the handlebars smoothly from stop to stop also verifies that the bearings are not notched or binding.
10What is the legal standard regarding motorcycle exhaust systems and noise emissions in Denmark?
A.Riders may remove the internal silencer baffle (DB-killer) if riding outside urban zones
B.Exhaust systems are exempt from noise testing as long as the motorcycle has an engine displacement under 125 cm³
C.The exhaust system must be gas-tight, securely mounted, undamaged, and fitted with an intact silencer that complies with type-approval noise limits
D.Aftermarket exhaust systems do not require any approval or documentation in Denmark
Explanation: The exhaust system must be undamaged, securely fastened, gas-tight, and equipped with an effective silencer that meets the motorcycle's approval requirements. Removing a required baffle or using an incompatible exhaust can make the motorcycle non-compliant and lead to enforcement or inspection.

About the Denmark Motorcycle Theory A1 Exam

Denmark Motorcycle Theory A1 Study Tips from Top Performers

1Master the exact A1 technical specifications: 125 cm³ maximum displacement, 11 kW maximum power, and 0.1 kW/kg maximum power-to-weight ratio.
2Remember that Denmark sets the minimum age for A1 at 18 years, unlike several other European countries where A1 starts at 16.
3Understand the 25-scenario digital format where any incorrect statement fails that entire scenario picture, and you are allowed a maximum of 5 faulty pictures.
4Focus heavily on Section 5 (Road Signs & Priority) and Section 6 (Manoeuvres & Road Positioning), which represent 50% of the tested curriculum.
5Study motorcycle-specific safety checks: minimum 1.0 mm tyre tread depth, chain slack and lubrication, steering head bearing checks, and dual independent brake systems.
6Never forget the right-of-way rules: right-hand priority (højrevigepligt) applies at all junctions lacking signs or signals, and turning left across oncoming traffic always requires yielding.

Frequently Asked Questions

What motorcycles can I ride with a Danish Category A1 licence?

Category A1 allows you to ride two-wheeled motorcycles (with or without sidecar) with a maximum engine cylinder capacity of 125 cm³, maximum power of 11 kW (approx. 15 hp), and a power-to-weight ratio of at most 0.1 kW/kg. You may also drive motorized tricycles with a power output not exceeding 15 kW.

What is the minimum age to take the Category A1 test in Denmark?

The minimum age to hold Category A1 in Denmark is 18 years old. You may begin instruction at an approved driving school at 17 years and 9 months, and take the official theory test up to one month before your 18th birthday. The practical driving test can only be taken once you turn 18.

How many scenarios are tested and what is the passing score?

The official Færdselsstyrelsen digital theory test consists of 25 visual scenarios (billedprøve). To pass, you must have errors or omissions in no more than 5 pictures (at least 20 fully correct scenarios).

How much does the Category A1 driving test cost in 2026?

Færdselsstyrelsen's 2026 fee table lists 1,600 DKK for the Category A1 driving test. Instruction, medical certification, first aid, photographs, and test-vehicle costs are separate; check the current fee table before booking or retaking.

How long is a passed Category A1 theory test valid?

A passed theory test is valid for 18 months. You must pass the practical driving test within this period; otherwise, you must retake and pass the theory test again.

Can I upgrade from Category A1 to Category A2 later without taking the theory test again?

Yes. If you have held a Category A1 driving licence for at least two years and wish to upgrade to Category A2, Danish rules allow you to take only a practical driving test on an A2 motorcycle, without having to retake the theoretical examination.

Are these practice questions identical to the official Færdselsstyrelsen exam?

No. The official exam uses visual scenario screens with multiple statements per picture. This 100-question bank is an English single-answer study adaptation, not an official translation or visual-format simulation.
