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.

"Lots of fun! Plan on continuing with the Intermediate and Advanced Courses. Great location... I drove from Sac to avoid the 100 deg days. Instructors: Tony, Q, Steven, and Dillon were each awesome. Great conclusion by Dillon making sure we understand our level of experience... saving lives."

"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

"Outstanding class, instructors knew the material but also provided me insightful tips that really made a difference in real time. I appreciated the feedback and truthfully it was not an easy class to complete and requires stamina. Elvie and Erin were so supportive and so was Tony, highly valued their comments and feedback. Relax elbows, ride smoothly and don’t get overly confident. I would recommend all three levels of riding before getting out on the road..."

"What a great experience! The instructors were really outstanding, explained each exercise in great detail, and made sure everyone in class clearly understood what to do. Not only was it so fun to learn how to ride a motorcycle, but I also learned how to do so safely. Highly recommend! In addition to having outstanding instructors and many different types/sizes of motorcycles they also had free loaner boots, gloves, and helmets!!"

"🏍️ Fantastic Beginner Experience: Boosted Confidence on the Road I recently completed the motorcycle course on April 27-28, and as someone with minimal experience, I can't emphasize enough how valuable this course was for me. Not only was it incredibly enjoyable, but it also significantly enhanced my confidence in handling a motorcycle. The instructors were the true stars of the show. Their wealth of experience was evident, and they adeptly conveyed essential knowledge while making the learning process engaging and fun..."

- Tokyo Mai, May 2024

"I really enjoyed this motorcycle course. I have been riding for over two years and would consider myself an intermediate rider. The teachers were fantastic - Wyatt and another guy but I can’t remember his name :/ they were clear, fun and knowledgeable, and the course was set out really well. I was thankful that we did similar drills/exercises over and over again to really impress it into our memory and get it right, and like I said, the teachers were excellent ..."
