German Drivers permit "Führerschein" is an administrative honor given to the people who demand a permit for any of the classifications they want. It is needed for each sort of mechanized vehicle except for the littlest mopeds under 50 cm³, with a speed cutoff of 25 km/h, just as mechanized bikes. (In any event, for these, there is a base age of 15 years and a little required driving school course)
