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!

"I strongly recommend this place to every motorcycle learner. All 3 instructors were awesome; White (hopefully I heard his name correctly) was the best. He’s super supportive and energized; “Aim! Throttle!” still lingered in my head. Never touched a motorcycle in my life; the thought to ride a motorcycle came to my mind as my cars are in good shape and there is little chance to replace them at least in the next 5 years. This is the closest class in Trivalley where you get the DMV road test waiver upon successful completion..."

"Title: Unforgettable Motorcycle Training: A Journey of Skills and Confidence Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) I recently had the pleasure of undertaking a motorcycle training course that exceeded all my expectations. From start to finish, it was an incredible experience that left me feeling both empowered and knowledgeable about safe motorcycle riding. Here's why I highly recommend this training program to any aspiring rider..."

"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!"

The training was incredibly helpful, providing me with the necessary skills and confidence to ride safely. The instructors were knowledgeable, patient, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure everyone understood the material.

"Great instructors who brought patience, humor and first class professionalism to the serious topics covered through this well thought out program. The bikes are adequate for the job and the location is ideal with great views and no distractions. The toilets are quite a walk and during our visit could have done with a few lightbulbs being replaced. The 6 to 1 instructor to pupil ratio is ideal in providing quality learning."

- Fraser Marshall, April 2025

"It was a great service and education provided by them. It is very useful for beginners as well as for riders not learned motorcycle riding technics methodically. I would recommend this company for your motorcycle learning and license process"
