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!

"It was cold. It was windy. It was pouring down rain, but the fundamentals were all there for every experience that you may encounter when riding a motorcycle great for beginners and experience riders alike."

"I am so happy I chose this class! The instructor was amazing! I feel so much more confident on my bike now. I highly recommend Pacific Motorcycle Training. I will definitely be enrolling in additional classes!"

"Brian and Evee were the absolute best. Unreal skills and even better teachers. It completely changed the way I ride. I thought the price was expensive at first but it was worth every penny. The DR200 I was on was perfect for my riding and practice to work on skills. Would’ve left 10 stars if possible!"
- William Swan, March 2026
"The guys running the course were great! Knowledgeable, relaxed and supportive. Unfortunately there was someone there, the first day, to do some surveying of the company or something. He on the other hand was a complete asshat who did nothing but confuse the students and shout random stuff angrily. I’ve put 5 stars despite that guy. I assume he’s not there often so I would still 100% recommend the company."

"Great experience. Learned a lot of fundamentals at this course and this made me more confident in my riding abilities. Instructors were very professional and knowledgeable. Instructors also kept it real and gave a lot of 1 on 1 when needed. I will recommend anyone that is trying to get there M1 license to attend this course."
- Anthony Kwong, July 2025
"Pros: Did the course in woodland. Amazing coaches and teachers. Playing sports and having many coaches in my life has shown me what a bad coach is. These are great coaches. After every drill run they give you feedback and show you how to fix your mistakes for your next try. They had that sparkle in their eye when teaching and talking about bikes you can tell they really want the best for everyone. Not a con more of a “heads up”: They say the program isn’t meant to make you a “complete rider” and that’s true, they only have a small amount of time to shove everything to save your life into a small program..."

"Top notch. The instructors are GREAT! So informative. I was very new to riding and new to California, and pmt gave me the confidence and training I needed to ride safe."
- Tyler Jones, November 2023
