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!

"It was an awesome experience. Even if the temperature was cold we still had fun taking the course. I'm glad I took this course, learned so much. Amazing instructors Joey and Olivia. Thank you so much! MD"

"Every one of the instructors were clear, concise, and patient. Couldn’t recommend this course enough for anyone a little worried about starting off their motorcycle journey. They go over the basics of the bike, safety maneuvers and the importance of counter steering. Show up open minded and ready to mess up often."

"MUST ATTEND this training! Evie and her team are phenomenal and will teach you the basics of being a safe and effective rider. They made everyone feel comfortable even if you’ve never touched a motorcycle before. No new rider should just go and get a license without attending a CMSP class. Highly Recommended!"

- DENZ GTR, April 2024

"I took the January 24 course with Craig and Evie as the instructors. Great coaching, great drills, and great classroom explanations! Great meeting all the other students and learning from all the feedback. I would highly recommend the intermediate course and will be taking an advanced course in the future!!"

"Very approachable beginner course for all skill levels. I left way more knowledgeable and safe than I started, but the journey is only beginning."

- Dean Achelis, August 2023

"I recently took the intermediate course to get my motorcycle license, and honestly, I was a bit nervous about the skills test at first. But the bikes they provided were all new or newer models, super easy to ride, and that made a huge difference. The overall experience was fun, and the day flew by. We had a bit of classroom time, but most of the day was spent riding — which is exactly what I was hoping for. The instructors were very relaxed and easygoing, which helped make the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free..."

"Evie, Dillon and another female (I don’t remember her name) were excellent instructors. Evie was professional and treated everyone with respect. When we made a mistake she focused on the positive and what we did correctly and provided instructions on what to do differently next time. The class went by fast. We learned a lot and it was great value for the price. I plan to take the intermediate class after I purchase my motorcycle."
