Once the motorbike has been turned on, you have 20 seconds for free to get ready for riding. Use them to wear the hygienic cap and helmet (plus the gloves if you’re in France!), to adjust the rearview mirrors and to check the brakes.

In Paris, you have:

- 20 seconds for free if you’re between 18 and 54 years old;
- 45 seconds for free if you’re 55 years old or older.
