"I am so impressed with this company I felt enthusiastically inspired to express this as a recommendation to all who have even the slightest interest in bicycles, e-bikes, motorcycles of all kinds and even drivers. We all share the road, and though there are more divers than motorcyclists, becoming aware of the safety for all vehicles, and human lives traveling in or around them, is such a key cornerstone anthem we should always be striving for. This class did just that..."

"Attending the course was a fantastic experience! I went in knowing nothing about riding a motorcycle, but the instructors were patient and thorough, guiding me every step of the way. Now I feel confident and comfortable on a bike, and I’m thrilled to hit the road. Highly recommend for anyone!"

"The class was very informative and well put together. The teachers were awesome, (there's always 2) and this was my 2nd time taking a M1 safety class to get my M1 license after not riding for 3 years.. and needed to renew my M1 lic. It made a lot of sense to take the course again just in case I'd forgotten important safety tips, and I'm VERY glad I retook the course. I didn't realize I'd accumulated a few bad habits over the years that made me not as safe of a rider..."

"Q made the learning experience seamless! I had such a great weekend full of learning in a low pressure environment. Thank you so much for the opportunity to take the step on getting my endorsement."

"I recently took the intermediate course to get my motorcycle license, and honestly, I was a bit nervous about the skills test at first. But the bikes they provided were all new or newer models, super easy to ride, and that made a huge difference. The overall experience was fun, and the day flew by. We had a bit of classroom time, but most of the day was spent riding — which is exactly what I was hoping for. The instructors were very relaxed and easygoing, which helped make the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free..."

"I am training to be an instructor and it is required to take several classes to get an understanding of the program from a new rider's perspective. I am impressed with how well the program works I have been to 1 class and then I was a student both times I watched Evie teach very new students ranging in age how to ride a motorcycle. She is a great teacher and is very good at giving positive feedback and helping the students if they need help in a certain drill..."

"I took the class with my son, and we both liked it! Evie, Erin and Brian are fantastic, patient instructors, who made the class fun and motivating. What I liked a lot is that the course isn’t just about learning to ride, but emphasizes safety which is especially important for younger people, like my 17year old son, whose frontal lobe hasn’t fully matured yet. :) Thank you for such a great experience!"
