As a result of the age being raised for the A2 test

"As a result of the age being raised for the A2 test - teenagers under the age of 19 will not be able to ride anything bigger than a 125cc"

這句話的意思因該是
"由於A2考試(駕照的種類)的參加資格年紀提高,以後19以下的青少年將無法騎乘大於125cc的機車"

雖然看得懂,但如果是我寫這句話,我會寫成

"As a result of the age is raised for the A2 test - teenagers under the age of 19 will not be able to ride anything bigger than a 125cc"

所以我的疑問是
1.原句 "As a result of the age being raised for the A2 test"   這部份到底需不需要(或是可不可以)放動詞?
