Both eRider and traditional classroom option available at this location

At our Salinas site, we are offering both eRider and the traditional classroom course. The in-person sessions on the motorcycle is identical for both options.

The eRider online classroom is a six hour course 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 the first riding session. The eRider is a great option for students who are successful at learning in an individualized, self-paced environment. Please check our eRider FAQs page for eRider system requirements.

The traditional Motorcyclist Training Course is the perfect option for students who want to learn from a live instructor. A typical class schedule consists of 5 hours of classroom and 10 hours of riding practice. The classroom portion is currently held on zoom with the first night of class help on Wednesdays at 6 PM.

When signing up, please note the two different options. eRider is a two-day option and the traditional classroom course is done over three days.

We welcome all Salinas residents as well as future riders from neighboring towns such as Monterey, Watsonville, Santa Cruz, Carmel, Hollister and Gilroy. Come learn how to ride a motorcycle and have fun with us!
