If you are reading this, there is a good chance you have spent some time dreaming about the open road. Maybe you watch riders cruise past you in traffic, or maybe you just want to experience the absolute freedom that only comes from being on two wheels.
Whatever your reason for wanting to ride, we are thrilled you are here. But we also know that taking that first step can feel a little overwhelming. What kind of bike do I need? Do I have to buy an expensive helmet before I even know if I like riding? How long is this going to take?
At 1st Gear Motorcycle Training, we hear these questions every single day. We built our entire training program around making your entry into the motorcycle world as smooth, safe, and stress-free as possible. Here is how we get you out of the passenger seat and onto your own bike.
Everything You Need is Included
One of the biggest hurdles for new riders is the upfront cost of gear. When you train with us, you do not need to buy a thing to get started. We provide the motorcycles. We provide the riding gear. We even include the fees for your Motorcycle Skills Test and your final Road Test. Once you sign up, you do not pay a single extra dime unless you decide you want to book additional private lessons. No hidden costs, no surprises. Just riding.
The Fastest Route to Your Unrestricted License
We know you have a busy life. You want to spend your weekends riding, not sitting in a classroom for weeks on end. Thanks to our online training module, you can do your classroom prep from the comfort of your couch. That means fewer trips in traffic to come see us, and more time for yourself. When it is time to physically train, we can get you past the test in just two full days. It is the shortest time to an unrestricted license available.
Instructors Who Actually Ride the Streets
When you learn to ride, you want to learn from people who know exactly what you are going to face out there. Our instructors come from incredibly varied riding backgrounds, but they all share one thing in common: they ride the public streets. Since the public roads are exactly where you are going to be riding, that is exactly what we train you for. We are here to make sure you start your new adventure the right way, with real-world skills that keep you safe.
We Do Not Disappear After You Pass
A lot of places hand you a certificate and wave goodbye. Not us. Once you complete your course with 1st Gear Motorcycle Training, the learning does not stop—and the savings actually begin. Picking out your first motorcycle and your personal riding gear is exciting, but it can be confusing. We will be right there to guide you on exactly what to buy at the most cost-effective prices. We even include ongoing support for your final road test with the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia.
Learning to ride a motorcycle should be one of the most exciting things you ever do. Let us handle the logistics, the gear, and the testing so you can focus entirely on the ride.
