We are part of the California Motorcyclist Safety Program and all of our instructors are certified to teach the Total Control riding courses.

eRider option available at this location

At our South San Francisco site, we are offering eRider. 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.

"I had a great time taking this course! The instructors Craig and Issac, were patient with me and answered all of my questions. (I hope I didn't ask too many!) They were very informative and made me feel confident, and now I can be a better rider and also a better driver too! I would recommend this course to anyone in the Bay area no matter what level of rider you are."

"I had such a great time at class with Ken and Kyle. I’ve been riding for awhile but they still taught me some new things. Thank you Pacific Motorcycle Training. I will be back for more training."

"This program was very well paced. It started slow for the beginners and moved on efficiently for those with a little more experience. It helped ease my initial fears and helped make me feel more confident in my abilities to ride."

― Joanne Gleason

"The experience with PMT was great. The instructors are patient and friendly. They are very knowledgeable and encouraging. They definitely show you how to be safe rider out on the road. I will recommend their classes to anyone who s interested in getting into the fun world of motorcycle riding. I completed my safety course on 1/16/2022."

― Neilson W.

"Very informative instructors. I enjoyed every second of the 3 day beginner course. There are multiple people in class but they made sure to pay close attention to us individually. I missed the morning physical riding class because I forgot my ID, but got in during the evening class. DONT BE LIKE ME! Prepare for everything the night before and be ready to have fun!"

― Fox Talks

"I loved this class. I learned SO much--both inside and outside of the classroom. Tex was great in the classroom and Evie was dynamite in our road-skills class."

― Victoria Lorrekovich

"The instructors take time to explain everything for beginners and intermediate training. They then show you how each concept is implemented on the motorcycle and learning hands on. Although I was nervous, the instructors had a lot of patience and pointed out what I needed to do to become a better rider."
