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.

"Me and my son both had a great time learning the basic skills of motorcycle operation. The instructors were awesome and gave excellent feedback on operation and scenarios. I would highly suggest this school to anyone interested in getting basic and or advancing their skills in motorcycle training. Thanks for a great experience!! See you on the road! J"

"The instructors were fantastic! Thomas, Erin, and Maya were all incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about motorcycles. Their enthusiasm was contagious, which made the course fun and engaging. They were patient and always happy to answer questions, no matter how basic. I felt comfortable making mistakes and learned a lot from their clear explanations and demonstrations."

"Dylan, Chris, and Q were all excellent instructors! I genuinely feel so much more safe and confident on a motorcycle now, and definitely recommend anyone thinking of riding (even if you're just riding Revel scooters around SF like I am!) to do the class, totally worth it."

"Fantastic beginner motorcycle course. I gained a wealth of crucial knowledge and feel far more confident to get out on the road on a motorcycle. All of the instructors were incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and friendly. Will definitely be back for the intermediate course."

- Jason Grant, October 2023

"I had a great time! Great instructors, very knowledgeable and gave good feedback. Generally patient people, but can be stern when they need to, as motorcycling is a very dangerous sport. Ending up passing the test at the end of my beginner lesson with 0 points taken off. Great school!"
