Learn to ride and get licensed!

Welcome to Pacific Motorcycle Training, the top school to learn how to ride a motorcycle safely in the San Francisco Bay. 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 San Francisco Bay. 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.

"Great experience with great instructors. You can really tell these guys do it for the passion of motorcycling. The information they provide is clear and helps you understand how to become a safe rider. Instructors:Tony,Q,Dillon,Steven"

"The experience was lit! I'm a total greenhorn, never laid hands on a motorcycle before. The instructors were fire! They were chill and their teaching method was dope! Big ups to Steve, Crusoe, and Dylan for being so rad. Much appreciated! My main vibe? Cruising on a motorcycle so can’t wait to level up and hop in on more classes down the road."
- Nana Wine, April 2024
"I struggled a lot with the weight of the bike and fell a couple times. Q gave me helpful tips on balancing the bike and offered a lighter bike. All the teachers were very helpful, knowledgable and patient. The first day was hard learning the basics but by the end I learned how to ride the motorcycle and was able to pass the class."
- Sofia Sustal, March 2023
"Fantastic beginner motorcycle course. I gained a wealth of crucial knowledge and feel far more confident to get out on the road on a motorcycle. All of the instructors were incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and friendly. Will definitely be back for the intermediate course."
- Jason Grant, October 2023
"A highly recommended, informative and thorough, course that covers all the basics, taught by extremely professional instructors and should be mandatory for any beginning rider. In attendance were riders of all levels of experience ranging from those who had never been on a bike to those who had ridden for years, but wanted to get back to the essentials. Also very fun, and it includes the driven test so you don’t have to take that part at the DMV once you’ve graduated."
