Adapted to your level
Never ridden a motorcycle? We start from the beginning.
This training is designed for people who have never ridden a motorcycle. The practice adapts to your pace, confidence and progress.
We only move onto the road when the instructor considers you have enough control of the bike to do so safely.
Category B licence and aged 25+?
With a category B licence and aged at least 25, you can already ride a 125. This training gives you the technique and confidence that your car licence didn't teach you.
First you understand. Then you apply it.
The practical part follows your progress: from preparation and control to riding on the road.
