Learn to ride and get licensed!

Welcome to Pacific Motorcycle Training, the top school to learn how to ride a motorcycle safely in the East Bay area. During our classes, you will learn everything you need to know to ride and control your motorcycle safely. Whether you are interested in learning the basics of riding a motorcycle—and getting your license endorsement—or simply improving your motorcycle skills to be safer on the road, come with us and we will provide you with the best classes you can get in the East Bay area. We are part of the California Motorcyclist Safety Program and all of our instructors are certified to teach the Total Control riding courses.

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!

"Absolutely fantastic experience with Pacific Motorcycle Training! Taking the class in Livermore was the best decision I've made since purchasing my motorcycle. Evie, my trainer, was exceptional—knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly supportive. The amount I learned here has significantly boosted my confidence on the road. The course is very professional, and the online module is well-designed and highly informative. I can't recommend this course enough; you won't regret it!"

"I recently took the beginner riding class in the Livermore Ca location. The instructors were very knowledgeable and very professional. The skills learned in the class reinforced the importance of safety and smooth and proper handling of the bike. I would recommend this class to anyone interested in learning how to ride. Special thanks to Dillon and the other instructors who made the weekend educational and fun at the same time! We had such a great a great experience that a group of us signed up for the intermediate riding class..."

"Great team! Eve and Craig were awesome instructors. They gave good input and instructions. Learned a lot, I highly recommend choosing this group of folks. They provide the perfect class for riders, that want to learn more or need a refresher after not riding for a while. Thank you for keeping riders safe !"

- Kenneth Jayne, August 2024

"I highly recommend this class to any and all riders! I'm a repeat customer (ARC Lvl. 1 & 2) and I am blown away by the curriculum, and even more importantly, the instructors. Ofir and Collen are both amazing! I have ridden motorcycles for over 11 years and have a ton of miles my belt. Even so, I have learned so much from each and every class. I plan to keep practicing and will be back soon!"

- Pearce Ekel, April 2025

"Great beginner course. Straight to the bikes and no classroom instruction which i like the best. Hands on is the only way to go. Both instructors did an excellent job building confidence for all students. After some basic riding experience, will return to take the next level course!"
