"I took the beginner course here. Before taking this course, I had never been on a motorcycle. Now I can say I can confidently operate a bike and be safe. Wyatt, Erin, and Q are great instructors! They are super knowledgeable and patient. Throughout the course, they did a great job at building up everyone’s confidence and preparing them for the assessment. I will definitely be taking the intermediate course once I get my own bike!"

"Highly recommended. Can’t say enough about this crew. These are the experts. Training courses of multiple skill levels available. Riding needs to be taken seriously and riders need to be prepared for the unexpected to make every ride as safe as possible. PTM has a great team packed with knowledge and experience that can help make every ride that such safer. Classes like this should be mandatory before taking to the roads, no matter where you are..."

"The experience was overall very fun, I enjoyed taking the class over the past weekend. My instructor was very patient and was available at any time during the hands on training to answer questions that we had. She always gave clear and detailed instructions and even demonstrated herself a few of the exercises that we did. Overall 10/10 experience, highly recommended for beginners like myself"

"Great course that taught me the necessary skills while having some fun. They have a variety of bikes to learn on and the instructors Chris and Dillon were real cool overall great experience with the only one real downside being there can be a few too many people for the course I felt. 🤙"

"Wonderful motorcycle school! My English is not very strong, so I used an interpreter during the lessons. The team of professionals always made sure the interpreter had time to explain everything to me, so I could fully understand and learn. Thanks to them, I became a confident motorcycle rider. Before this, I had no riding experience, but in just two days they taught me step by step. Huge thanks to the school and the amazing team — I highly, highly, highly recommend them!"

"The Beginner course is great! A lot of good safety and basic motorcycle operating procedures covered in the theory classes. PMT provides bikes for people who don't own one yet to practice with. The instructors on the course are very helpful and provide continuous feedback to correct riding posture and other nuances. I would definitely recommend taking this course for people who aren't comfortable or used to riding a motorcycle."
