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.

"The experience was lit! I'm a total greenhorn, never laid hands on a motorcycle before. The instructors were fire! They were chill and their teaching method was dope! Big ups to Steve, Crusoe, and Dylan for being so rad. Much appreciated! My main vibe? Cruising on a motorcycle so can’t wait to level up and hop in on more classes down the road."

"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."

"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."

"Fantastic course. Instructors were clear, friendly and efficient. Really helped build a lot of basic skills. Highly recommend. Only downside was the cold and windy weather in South SF!"

"I really enjoyed this motorcycle course. I have been riding for over two years and would consider myself an intermediate rider. The teachers were fantastic - Wyatt and another guy but I can’t remember his name :/ they were clear, fun and knowledgeable, and the course was set out really well. I was thankful that we did similar drills/exercises over and over again to really impress it into our memory and get it right, and like I said, the teachers were excellent ..."

"My instructors Steve and Erin for the first day were amazing. They were great at getting me acquainted with the bike, feeling comfortable, and boosting my confidence. They were exactly what I needed for my first day riding. My instructors Dylan and Crusoe for the 2nd day were equally amazing. They took everything we learned from the first day and expanded on it. They were extremely knowledgeable and could exactly pin point my errors so I could work on them in real time..."

"I was nervous to start the course but I'm really glad I did, trainers were knowledgeable and understanding. After completing the course, I learned everything I needed to know and gain so much confidence on riding. No complaints and would definitely look into the intermediate lesson next👍"
