I took this class 3 times back during the pandemic and just never wrote a review I don't think. But…read moreI came across it again online and thought I should. Everything they say in their website is true. I trained with a guy named Iilyas. He was super cool and chill and didn't freak out when I messed up. In the first session I was working all the way through third gear and coming to a good stops. In the second session my slow speed maneuverability improved. It's actually easier to go fast than slow. I took the third session for fun because I didn't have a bike yet and I just wanted to ride for two hours. If I could afford it I would come again just to keep training and learning. 1 on 1 was a lot less intimidating as well. And when I came I had only ever been on a bike once in a parking lot with my brother and never left third gear or understand what a clutch or break was. Just one session and I felt comfortable on a bike. Also, they had headphones in the helmet talking me through every step. It was great.

Hello, Everything went great renting the "DMV" Honda Rebel,…read moreUNTIL I got to the DMV. The motorcycle had paper plates. This took me 2 EXTRA HOURS at the DMV begging. It is my only day off, I paid for a babysitter, AND a motorcycle rental. The DMV employees told me that they had warned you guys multiple times about this! I would be way more irate than I already am, if I had not gotten my license today. Your failing to acknowledge/mention sending me to the DMV on your "DMV motorcycle" rental that isn't legal (said the DMV employee). 2 extra hours of my life, and not even a break on the price when I returned the motorcycle. Sweet customer service, and keep up the good work! I would be embarrassed if I were you. The whole "I'll ask, but I dont think I can do anything" isn't really acceptable after placing me in that position! Just act like you care? Never Again, Justin Besemer

The owner is very nice.

I compare what he quoted me to what others had said on Yelp to see if we got a deal. We paid $40 per hour for the largest e-bikes, and $40 per hour for the 3 wheeled e-trike. We rented 2 bikes and one trike for 2. I was quoted $120 and when we came back he said that we could save a little bit if we paid cash. If we didn't then he had to charge tax.. new total $134.... Regardless... we had a fun time and would do it again. I wasn't able to do any research prior to so i don't know how other places compare around.

For years I've been watching Ducatis on the covers of magazines. I wanted to get a feel for it…read moremyself, never having been on one before. I've rented motorcycles before but none offered anything more aggressive or exotic in my area. So I searched online and after about 0.000009 seconds on google, I found Rent a Ducati. The owner, David, was approachable, informative and flexible from the start. The paperwork and payments were settled the night before and he was even willing to make last minute changes due to issues with my schedule. He met me early, around 8 am. I signed a few papers and I was on my way. The motorcycle was a bit worn with some cosmetic damage. It had seen a few track days at this point and its mileage showed that. But I didn't expect a new v4 panigale either. We inspected the motorcycle and everything looked satisfactory to me. Electronics were working, tires were good, and brakes were ready. After the inspection I was off. I'm going to spare you the details but if you've never been on a Ducati its a must have experience, it rides and sounds like a demon. I rode it for about 260 miles in a matter of a day. Best money I've spent in a while. The next day I returned the motorcycle and saw the deposit refund in my PayPal account. No issues for me. Ill be renting here again

UMMMM so Juan literally saved my life? My partner and I were walking by Melrose Moto and got…read moreattacked by an unhoused person who literally punched my arm and Juan came out and scared him away from us. I do happen to ride so we decided to drop into the store to say thank you and check out the store. It has a great selection of gear, helmets, and even female rider attire. I found out from Juan that they not only service bikes, they rent them out too. I mentioned that I ride a moto Guzzi and he told me that they service that brand and have the oil filters in stock (which I did have trouble sourcing when I changed my oil earlier this year). Overall it's a great store with great employees! Thanks so much, Juan!
