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 Sacramento 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 Sacramento residents as well as future riders from neighboring towns such as Woodland, Davis, Dixon, and Yuba. Come learn how to ride a motorcycle and have fun with us!

"PMT was awesome! I’ve been riding a few years and still learned so much! Mark and Zack are great teachers! They explained everything very well and made sure everyone understood. I’ll be going back to the intermediate class and talked one of my friends into going also, definitely worth it. Hopefully I’ll get mark and Zach as instructors again! 🤘"

"I took a beginner’s course just two days ago in this blistering heat, but with Evie, Mark and Zac instructing not just me, but a bunch of my classmates was a fun experience. We were given plenty of water, in-depth guidance and critical feedback after the classes were done. I will definitely come back for the intermediate course in the future."

"Great experience. The instructors were very knowledgeable with all their instructions. Great class for new riders and a great refresher course for people with some riding expedience."

- Michael Bigley, March 2024

"Everyone was so kind and supportive, they never made me feel like I was dumb for not understanding something and made sure to explain everything clearly and in ways that were easy to understand. They obviously care about actually teaching people how to ride, not just pass the course or the test. I absolutely will be taking their intermediate and advanced courses once I have more experience riding, and am excited to learn more from them. Super knowledgeable and incredibly helpful..."

"I am training to be an instructor and it is required to take several classes to get an understanding of the program from a new rider's perspective. I am impressed with how well the program works I have been to 1 class and then I was a student both times I watched Evie teach very new students ranging in age how to ride a motorcycle. She is a great teacher and is very good at giving positive feedback and helping the students if they need help in a certain drill..."

"The instructors Zac, Olivia and Mark were all amazing, very patient knowledgeable. I walked away with new knowledge and skills I was never aware of even after riding for years but self taught. So, if you think you know it all. It doesn't hurt to take the class if you haven't done so and just read thru the handbook. Even to refresh. A big thank you to the team."

- Nick Ruelas, November 2025

"I came in here with 0 riding skills and signed up for the basic level course. With our small group of students, the instructor Zach payed careful attention to each students skill level and making sure we all performed to the best of our ability by explaining what it expected of us. Before certain drills, he would run them down by himself so we understood how to perform, then we got a chance to practice with the bike off, then on. If some students were performing better, he gave them other pointers to look out for while riding, and if we were in need of more help, he provided examples to help us understand how to ride safer..."
