Learn to ride and get licensed!

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!

"Everyone was so kind and supportive, they never made me feel like I was dumb for not understanding something and made sure to explain everything clearly and in ways that were easy to understand. They obviously care about actually teaching people how to ride, not just pass the course or the test. I absolutely will be taking their intermediate and advanced courses once I have more experience riding, and am excited to learn more from them. Super knowledgeable and incredibly helpful..."

"An amazing experience! I went into this class fairly nervous, never have ridden a bike before in my life, wasn’t even sure what a clutch was… But, Zach and Issac were awesome at making everything unbelievably easy to understand, their way of instructing made my nervousness disappear and made everything I needed to know about riding a motorcycle click. Felt like a veteran rider after day 1, and that was solidified even further as day 2 came to an end..."

"Instructors were fantastic, and you could really tell they put their heart into everything. The equipment they provided was also clean and the bikes on selection were a large variety allowing the rider to tailor what kind of bike they might want to ride when it’s all said and done. Highly recommended this spot!"

"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!"

- Nikita L, September 2025

"The instructors Zac, Olivia and Mark were all amazing, very patient knowledgeable. I walked away with new knowledge and skills I was never aware of even after riding for years but self taught. So, if you think you know it all. It doesn't hurt to take the class if you haven't done so and just read thru the handbook. Even to refresh. A big thank you to the team."

- Nick Ruelas, November 2025

"WOW!!!! What an amazing experience these guys know their stuff. Everyone has something to learn at pacific motorcycle! All levels will excel with these professionals. I took the level 2 course and I was baffled with how much good techniques I learned. Big thanks to the staff for making this a great experience. If you’re iffy on pulling the trigger……do it! It just might save your life."

"My experience was great with Pacific Motorcycle Training in Woodland, on the Pioneer High School campus. Thomas and Steve were the instructors and they were very knowledgeable, supportive and fostered an overall nonjudgmental environment that was conducive to learning. I had never ridden a motorcycle in my life and by the end of the course I had a lot of the foundational skills down. I would recommend this course to anyone. And extra shout out to Thomas and Steve!"
