Convenient on-line classroom

The classroom portion consists of a six-hour course called eRider that can be done at your convenience and in the comfort of your home. It is highly interactive, using video and other features to address risk management, riding strategy, roadway management, impairments, and special riding situations like carrying passengers and group riding. Participants complete all classroom activities (6 chapters) before their first in-person motorcycle riding session. The motorcycle riding portion of the course consists of 10 hours of in-person instruction on gas powered motorcycles. The 10-hours of riding instruction takes place over two days and builds fundamental street-riding skills and strategies.

The eRider is a great option for busy students who are successful at learning in an individualized, self-paced environment. Please check our eRider FAQs page for eRider system requirements.

We welcome all Livermore residents as well as future riders from neighboring towns such as Tracy, Dublin, San Ramon, Danville, Fremont, Hayward and Milpitas. Come learn how to ride a motorcycle and have fun with us!

"The online theory training prepares you for the two day riding practical. Each instructor had our best interests in mind and were very skilled, understanding and professional. The class gave me a great foundation to build upon. Also kudos to them for teaching in the 110 afternoon heat!"

"I took the class with my son, and we both liked it! Evie, Erin and Brian are fantastic, patient instructors, who made the class fun and motivating. What I liked a lot is that the course isn’t just about learning to ride, but emphasizes safety which is especially important for younger people, like my 17year old son, whose frontal lobe hasn’t fully matured yet. :) Thank you for such a great experience!"

"It was a great experience. Crusoe, Aaron or Adam? and Mike were all exceptional and explained everything simple enough for me to learn the basics to riding. I have little to no experience prior and I feel a lot better after taking the course."

- Tony Potenti, November 2023

"I had basically no experience on a motorcycle. The instructors were patient, extremely helpful, and had a good progression though the class for beginners. By the end of the riding portion I had a basic grasp of how to ride. I am by no means ready to hit the highway, but I am more than comfortable enough to ride and practice on my own on slow streets and get better on my own now that I know the fundamentals."

- Dylan Nuessle, March 2024

"I had ridden motorcycle back in India and was getting back into it again here in the US. The training was very educating and the staff was super friendly. They had helmets and even gloves so that helped too. The bikes were very good and didn't pose any issues. The instructors, Anthony, Erin, and Tony were very nice and helped us immensely during the two day program. I loved the experience and would love to take intermediate lessons some time in future."

- Santosh Pendap, October 2024

"Instructors were friendly and gave good constructive criticism about how to fix your issues. I was a total beginner when it came to riding a bikes and by the end of the class I was quite comfortable with the maneuvering. My only wish is if the course completion certificate and form for the DMV was given faster or in person rather than mailed so we can get our license faster."

- Muthu Mohan, July 2023

"It was fantastic, I had alot of fun. You can never have enough motorcycle training. I've already seen a difference when I go out riding. I use the new skills that I've learned and practice them everytime I ride. I already went to dmv and got my motorcycle endorsement. Now i can legally ride on the freeways.Great instructors. I will recommend this training course 👌 💪"
