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!

"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."

"Great class and great instructors! Steve, Thomas, and Q, you guys were awesome! I really appreciate Q giving feedback through each exercise even if I was doing things correct! Great experience, will be back for intermediate classes in the future!"

"As a person who rode for 18+ years then took a 35+ year break, the class was an excellent refresher. It helped me remember a lot of things (push steering for one) that I had long forgotten. The instructors were personable, friendly, professional and VERY knowledgeable. All in all, I feel it was an excellent investment in time and money. I highly recommend this class for ALL beginners and those of us that have had a long hiatus from riding."
- Rowen, April 2024
"The instructors, Q, Steve, and Evie were very knowledgeable. They explained things well and kept everything on time. They were able to identify when I needed special instructions and pulled me out to coach me on proper techniques and gave me specific information that helped me improve."
- Joe Kepiro, March 2024
"Just took the course and it was awesome. The instructors were amazing. Patient and nothing but helpful and encouraging all the way through-with every rider even in the 100 degree heat. Highly recommend and will be taking future course through them"
- Patrick Klutz, August 2026
"Zach and Mark are excellent instructors who were so patient and supportive throughout the course. I had never touched a motorcycle coming in, and was able to pick up the basics and start riding comfortably after the two-day beginner’s course. I would definitely consider coming back for more advanced classes, and would recommend this place and the instructors to anyone who wants to learn how to ride motorcycles."
- Rachel Li, March 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
