Welcome to Pacific Motorcycle Training, the top school to learn how to ride a motorcycle safely in the Sacramento area. 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 Sacramento Area. 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.

We welcome all Sacramento residents as well as future riders from neighboring towns such as Woodland, Davis, Dixon, and Yuba. Come learn how to ride a motorcycle and have fun with us!

"I came in here with 0 riding skills and signed up for the basic level course. With our small group of students, the instructor Zach payed careful attention to each students skill level and making sure we all performed to the best of our ability by explaining what it expected of us. Before certain drills, he would run them down by himself so we understood how to perform, then we got a chance to practice with the bike off, then on. If some students were performing better, he gave them other pointers to look out for while riding, and if we were in need of more help, he provided examples to help us understand how to ride safer..."

"The guys running the course were great! Knowledgeable, relaxed and supportive. Unfortunately there was someone there, the first day, to do some surveying of the company or something. He on the other hand was a complete asshat who did nothing but confuse the students and shout random stuff angrily. I’ve put 5 stars despite that guy. I assume he’s not there often so I would still 100% recommend the company."

"Zac & Isaac took the time to explain not just how to ride, but why each technique matters—from proper clutch control and braking to situational awareness on the road. They created a comfortable learning environment where I felt supported, never rushed, and always safe."

- Sheila Brosseau, August 2025

"It was cold. It was windy. It was pouring down rain, but the fundamentals were all there for every experience that you may encounter when riding a motorcycle great for beginners and experience riders alike."

- Jeramie Baker, February 2025

"Brian and Evee were the absolute best. Unreal skills and even better teachers. It completely changed the way I ride. I thought the price was expensive at first but it was worth every penny. The DR200 I was on was perfect for my riding and practice to work on skills. Would’ve left 10 stars if possible!"

- William Swan, March 2026

"Just finished my Course today, Friday 07/12! Zack and Olivia are the best! Amazing teachers, amazing instructors. Never been on a motorcycle ever (though I have been on a bicycle) but I felt confident and comfortable on the field. Had to drive all the way to Woodland from Sac, but 25/10 recommend this spot!"
