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!

"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!"

"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 had an amazing experience. I had very little to no experience with riding and so I felt a little anxious about how quick I would learn everything and be ready for the evaluation. Halfway through the 1st day I had already began to feel more comfortable and confident with the bike I was riding. Day 1 and 2 had different instructors but they were all great and I learned a lot. I highly recommend for anyone who is looking to get their M1 to do this course!"

"Morning course 16-17 August 2025 Basic I had a fantastic experience with Pacific Motorcycle Training in Livermore! Everything was well-organized from start to finish. The instructors (Wyatt, Joe, the blonde female instructor — I can't remember her name (so sorry)) did a great job explaining every part of the course, and they were always available to answer any questions. They were encouraging and supportive throughout, which really helped build confidence, especially for beginners..."

"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."
- Michael Lozano, August 2024
"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..."

"It was fantastic, I had alot of fun. You can never have enough motorcycle training. I've already seen a difference when I go out riding. I use the new skills that I've learned and practice them everytime I ride. I already went to dmv and got my motorcycle endorsement. Now i can legally ride on the freeways.Great instructors. I will recommend this training course 👌 💪"
