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!

"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 !"

"If you’re looking for an amazing experience to start your riding career, this is the place. The instructors are patient, friendly, knowledgeable and know how to relay that knowledge. Evi was a fantastic instructor in particular. Once the class was done they offer an intermediate class at a discount (it never expires) which I didn’t hesitate to sign up for. 👍"

- Paul Feeney, August 2024

"As a brand new rider with 0 experience I felt like I gained skills and knowledge for real world scenarios. The instructors were clear, patient, knowledgeable and did not hold back with the real risks of driving a motorcycle. I would strongly recommend ALL new or beginner riders to take this class. I can’t wait for my intermediate level!"

- Owen Bower, June 2025

"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!!"

- John Pinnella, January 2026

"Highly recommended! I haven’t been riding in 10 years so this beginner class was perfect! Instructors are very experienced and knowledgeable. I learned so much about what I didn’t know."

- Roy Selvidge, April 2024

"Amazing experience! Evie and Erin were incredibly patient and worked with me individually on skills that I struggled with and didn't make me feel bad for messing up. Joey brought the energy and encouragement and was fun to work with. There were many opportunities to practice the skills so the test at the end wasn't intimidating. I recommend this class for all noobs and for anyone who wants to learn how to ride the right way."

- Jessica Thiragirayuta, June 2024

"I had an absolute blast over the weekend! Great team of instructors each day that were informative and patient with all of us. Highly recommend. It was a trip watching people go from never being on one before to riding pretty darn good a few hours later. It doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner or a seasoned rider TAKE THE CLASSES I promise you, you’ll learn something new."
