Class A covers motorcycles and related two/three-wheeled vehicles in Kenya’s NTSA driving licence framework. Riders as young as 16 can apply for this class with parental consent, making it the entry point for many young Kenyan road users, particularly boda boda riders.

A Lower Cost of Entry
Because Class A motorcycle training is generally shorter and the licence fee structure is the same flat amount applied across all classes, this tends to be the most affordable licence to obtain in Kenya — useful context for the large number of riders who use it for commercial boda boda work.
Total government fees to get a fresh Class A licence run to roughly Ksh. 4,750 across the provisional licence, test, and Smart DL issuance — modest compared to other classes once you factor in shorter, cheaper motorcycle training.
