AM cost statistics for small motor vehicles: €1,184 cost benchmark, €69 median lesson price and 11,041 driving schools.
Compact training, manageable costs
Ride a scooter or moped from age 15 – class AM makes it possible. With a top speed of 45 km/h and 50 cc engine capacity, AM is the gateway to motorised mobility, especially in rural areas often the first step toward independence. No mandatory special drives are required for AM – training focuses on around 8 practice lessons plus theory instruction. You will also need a first-aid course and an eye test.
A AM (moped) license costs around €1,184 on average nationwide. A single practice lesson (45 min) runs about €69. These figures are based on approx. 11k driving schools across approx. 1.4k cities (updated August 25, 2026). Lesson prices range between €55 - €80. A typical cost breakdown includes base fee €363, lesson €69, special drive €75, theory exam €61, practical exam €195 – plus individual practice hours on top. Location makes a difference too: costs range from €906 in Berlin to €82,966 in Stuttgart.
AM is comparatively affordable because training is more compact than for A1 or A2. Still, comparing offers pays off: some schools provide all-inclusive packages, others charge theory and practice separately.
