Taking your first steps into motorcycling?
Our Learn to Ride course provides a safe, supportive environment where you can build confidence and develop the fundamental skills needed to ride a motorcycle.
We can provide the use of a 150cc or 250cc motorcycle, along with a helmet and gloves, so you can focus on learning without needing your own equipment or if you prefer you can use your motorcycle or scooter.

Motorcycle controls and pre-ride checks
Safe use of the clutch, throttle, and brakes
Starting, stopping, and slow-speed manoeuvring
Gear changing techniques
