Learn to ride and get licensed!

Welcome to Pacific Motorcycle Training, the top school to learn how to ride a motorcycle safely in the Sacramento 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 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!

"Olivia, Mark, and Jason are excellent instructors! They provided us with detailed and thorough instructions on how to handle a motorcycle safely. I highly suggest that anyone who is interested in riding a motorcycle, should take this course."

"The instructors Thomas and Mia were awesome. Very nice and patient. Instructions were very organized and clear. The whole experience was very professional and helped build my riding skills to the next level."

- Jeremy Zeegers, July 2024

"Wow! These folks are true Pro’s. The online training prior to the beginning class was powerful. I learned so much and felt like I was already practicing in my mind before arriving. The in person/on bike part of the class was equally impressive. The teachers read each segment from a book and everything ran with military precision. That might sound boring or stiff, but after they made sure you got what you needed from the book, they added golden nuggets from their own experience..."

"Isaac and Zac were fantastic instructors for the Basic Motorcycle Training course! They did a great job explaining everything clearly and thoroughly, making sure everyone understood the fundamentals needed not just for training but also for getting licensed. The practices were run on time, well-structured, and really helped build confidence. They treated everyone with respect and were patient with each person’s skill level. Highly recommend this team if you’re looking to get started with riding!"

"The instructors, Q, Steve, and Evie were very knowledgeable. They explained things well and kept everything on time. They were able to identify when I needed special instructions and pulled me out to coach me on proper techniques and gave me specific information that helped me improve."

- Joe Kepiro, March 2024

"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!"

"My experience was great with Pacific Motorcycle Training in Woodland, on the Pioneer High School campus. Thomas and Steve were the instructors and they were very knowledgeable, supportive and fostered an overall nonjudgmental environment that was conducive to learning. I had never ridden a motorcycle in my life and by the end of the course I had a lot of the foundational skills down. I would recommend this course to anyone. And extra shout out to Thomas and Steve!"
