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!

"All I can say is that I had so much fun taking the class specially when I had no experience riding a motorcycle. Joey, Erin and Jason made it so easy and FUN and NOT BORING taking the class they were so supportive, hands on and they teach you all the basic stuff even with or without experience in riding a motorcycle this Duo was really awesome I was really glad I had them as my instructor. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED"

"The instructors were so patient and the safety training was excellent. I felt much more confident after the sessions ended. Erin, Connor and Lorenzo were great instructors and I totally recommend undergoing the safety training before you take your motorcycle on the roads!"

"Fantastic program, facility, bikes and instructors. My 18 year old and I both took the 2 day beginner program; she's never riden a motorcycle but I have. The instructors were knowledgeable, patient and encouraging. Everyone in the group was supportive and just great people all around. Highly recommend!"

"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

"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!"

- MI N, July 2024

"Quite a few of the nine riders in this class were skeptical that we would learn all that much. By the end, we all agreed that we benefitted. I’ve already been applying the cornering skills I learned there. One more thing: Evie was a great instructor. She demonstrated each maneuver flawlessly, and you could just tell she was an excellent rider. But she was also a great teacher. Positive, observant, insightful, and exceedingly helpful. Kudos Evie!"

- Tom Nemeth, September 2026

"The instructors were great! Very helpful and encouraging. Learned a lot and sharpened my skills. Definitely recommend to any new or experienced riders!"
