If you have a car driving licence
You can ride a moped (up to 50cc) without L plates and without taking the moped test in some situations.
You passed your driving test on or after 1 February 2001
You’ll get a full moped licence if you either:
pass your car driving test and then complete a compulsory basic training (CBT) course
complete a CBT course and then pass your car driving test within two years
You can then ride a moped (up to 50cc) without L plates. You do not need to take the full moped test.
You can ride mopeds for as long as your car driving licence lasts.
You passed your driving test before 1 February 2001
You can ride a moped (up to 50cc) without L plates. You do not need to take a CBT course or take the full moped test.
You must take CBT if you want to ride anything larger than a 50cc moped.
When you do not need to take CBT
You do not have to take CBT if you:
want to ride a moped (up to 50cc) and you passed your car driving test before 1 February 2001
Then Direct Bikes quote
So long as you gained your full car driving license before the 1st February 2001, though, you can ride a 50cc moped with a passenger on the back without needing anything else. You could ride without L-plates, too. If you got your full driving license after the 1st February 2001, though, you need to go and sit your Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) examination.
This would mean that you could then bring someone onto the road with you. However, you don’t have a car license, then you cannot take someone on the road with you. The only way that you can have a pillion passenger if you have either your full driving license and your CBT, or your full driving license prior to the 01/02/2001.Keep that in mind, as it’s very important to comply with these rules.

Not quite. Moped is a portmanteau that means a small motorcycle powered by a motor and pedals. Not even sure if any were made since the 70s or early 80s. For some reason the name has stuck around.
