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.

"Really detailed explanations, very clear and wants everyone to pass, as long as you come in with an open mind anyone should be able to pass. nice safe place for any concerns, and exploration for riding bikes, recommend. all resources were provided to be able to participate in class and pass. Instructors are awesome"

- Marquez Nicolas, July 2023

"Excellent experience. Instructors were capable, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. They always had specialized feedback for each student after a practice exercise that I found very helpful in improving my technique. The course was informative and we had plenty of opportunity to practice on the bikes. Have already recommended to several friends who are looking to take the CMSP. The only downside was that most of the training bikes were very old and had seen better days..."

- Kristen Wade, June 2024

"I struggled a lot with the weight of the bike and fell a couple times. Q gave me helpful tips on balancing the bike and offered a lighter bike. All the teachers were very helpful, knowledgable and patient. The first day was hard learning the basics but by the end I learned how to ride the motorcycle and was able to pass the class."

- Sofia Sustal, March 2023

"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

"What a great experience! The instructors were really outstanding, explained each exercise in great detail, and made sure everyone in class clearly understood what to do. Not only was it so fun to learn how to ride a motorcycle, but I also learned how to do so safely. Highly recommend! In addition to having outstanding instructors and many different types/sizes of motorcycles they also had free loaner boots, gloves, and helmets!!"

- Yve Stephan, October 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!"

- Rimal Kumar, August 2024

"The experience was overall very fun, I enjoyed taking the class over the past weekend. My instructor was very patient and was available at any time during the hands on training to answer questions that we had. She always gave clear and detailed instructions and even demonstrated herself a few of the exercises that we did. Overall 10/10 experience, highly recommended for beginners like myself"
