Learn to ride and get licensed!

Welcome to Pacific Motorcycle Training, the top school to learn how to ride a motorcycle safely in the San Francisco Bay. 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 San Francisco Bay. 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.

"10/10 I took two days course at this range and instructors were very patient and knowledgeable. They will teach you step by step until you can mastering the skills. Thanks for instructors Wyatt, Steven and Q!They were awesome!!"

"Tifa, Q, and Tony were fantastic coaches with clear communication and instructions. All of the instructors had great energy and focus to help and teach. It was an excellent beginner’s course with the CMSP certification (I passed the course and received the waiver in less than a week). I'll look to take intermediate and advanced rider courses in the future after some continued practice and skills refinement. Thank you for the training, and I highly recommend PMT to all new riders..."

"The beginner class was great. My instructors were really chill but were really detailed and structured in delivering the course material. I learned alot really fast"

- Charles Brown, September 2024

"The instructors are very friendly and patient with riders who are typically new to riding. Ensuring that they are pausing to answer questions and allowing time for new riders to catch up with those that might have some experience. They are constantly providing feedback to ensure that riders are correcting behavior to be successful with the class. I would highly recommend these guys for those who are looking to sign up for some lessons!"

"Went here January 2023. Super great experience. It was my first time using a clutch, and everything was explained extremely clearly. I am going to get my permit as soon as my form comes in the mail. Strongly reccomend to anyone wanting to get into motorcycles safely. If I can do it at 17 then anyone can."

- Ian Slye, January 2024

"All three instructors I had really knocked it out of the park. The training hours felt like time and money very well-spent. I gained concrete skills on the bike and got really good feedback on my technique as I learned. Instructors were direct yet patient and did well managing a variety of skill levels. There were two instructors each day and they did great managing a fairly large group. It never felt like too many people or like I didn't have the chance to ask questions..."
