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.

We welcome all Livermore residents as well as future riders from neighboring towns such as Tracy, Dublin, San Ramon, Danville, Fremont, Hayward and Milpitas. Come learn how to ride a motorcycle and have fun with us!

"Fantastic program, facility, bikes and instructors. My 18 year old and I both took the 2 day beginner program; she's never riden a motorcycle but I have. The instructors were knowledgeable, patient and encouraging. Everyone in the group was supportive and just great people all around. Highly recommend!"

"All I can say is that I had so much fun taking the class specially when I had no experience riding a motorcycle. Joey, Erin and Jason made it so easy and FUN and NOT BORING taking the class they were so supportive, hands on and they teach you all the basic stuff even with or without experience in riding a motorcycle this Duo was really awesome I was really glad I had them as my instructor. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED"

- Tristan Fabian, January 2026

"It was fantastic, I had alot of fun. You can never have enough motorcycle training. I've already seen a difference when I go out riding. I use the new skills that I've learned and practice them everytime I ride. I already went to dmv and got my motorcycle endorsement. Now i can legally ride on the freeways.Great instructors. I will recommend this training course 👌 💪"

- Corey Harvey, July 2025

"The trainers were absolutely amazing. They gave reassurance to everyone to make sure they were comfortable on their bike. Erin and Wyatt work together flawlessly. Dave was a great trainer as well but it seems he has his own style of training versus the other instructors. I would definitely recommend this course. It was a fun class to take. Hope everyone stays safe riding ✌🏼"

- Jocelyn Butler, September 2024

"I was nervous before class. But the instructors were very nice and very encouraging. They had an extreme eye for detail and took the time to listen to anybody that had questions. They very very safe and I'll feel like I left there ready to become a safe rider."
