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 HIGHLY recommend them. This group is incredibly knowledgeable, and care deeply about the training they provide. I cannot recommend this organization any more highly. Erin(1), Erin(2), Steve, and Dillon were all PHENOMENAL instructors!!"

"I had ZERO experience on a motorcycle and by the first day of behind the wheel class I was riding!! Great course! It’s a lot to take in but the instructors were very patient, friendly and knowledgeable! Dylan and Tony were awesome!! They had great chemistry and made the course fun!! Tony is super supportive and encouraging and Dylan can be hard on you but when he praises you, you know you did a good job! Love the enthusiasm of those two. Will definitely sign up for the intermediate class in the future."

"Epic learning experience!!! Conceptual, tactile, visual and hands-on! Very thorough lesson by highly experienced instructors at the perfect pace to allow even the most novice of beginners to grasp the dexterous maneuvers required to take to the road beyond. Absolute must step to getting the m1 license. Huge thanks to Wyatt, Kevin and Steve for helping me pass my test and getting on the road to that horizon. AAAAAAAAA+++++++++"

"Absolutely amazing experience as someone who has never been on a bike before! Q was our main instructor for both days. He was so thorough at explaining everything and never hesitated at answering questions. Patrick was there our first day as the second instructor. His calm presence really helps a newbie feel comfortable. Dylan was there on the second day and so full of energy! All the instructors gave great advice and really made you feel confident in your abilities..."

"The class was great! It's obvious that the team of instructors truly care about teaching and making sure you learn. I met about 6 of them in my two days and they were all fantastic! They also offer private and additional courses if interested. The mornings are cold, especially in the winter so make sure to dress warm...bonus...the morning sunrise is nice too. I definitely recommend!"
