Worth every penny! My whole riding experience was awesome! I had great instructors and very knowledgeable with their craft, they are very passionate and patient with new learners. They are really pushing you and wanted you to learn how to properly ride a motorcycle and not just for profit. Kudos to my classroom instructors, Elliot and Bob for teaching us and sharing your knowledge! To my range instructors who are very patient specially for new riders, Frank/Turin/Seth! Keep up the good work and I might take the advance riding course! read more

My whole experience with this outfit was great. Lisa helped me out with getting on the waiting list and when a spot opened up, got me in right away. Our primary instructor Turin has a passion for riding and it shows during his classroom teaching- he made everything crystal clear, digestible, and interesting. He and Seth were great on the range as well. They stayed engaged and attentive and offered great advice and criticism. If you're taking this class bring a lunch, water, and sunscreen... and a good attitude! read more

So I signed up never riding a motorcycle before. I was nervous but was then at ease to learn so were my peers in the class. It goes class then riding and repeats. The class part is pretty straightforward if you listen. Because of corona virus we practiced social distancing and good hygiene. Riding in the range was nerve wrecking being a beginner but the instructor went super easy starting with the basics and having us do movements on the bike when it was shut off. Then we start the bike and practiced neutral and first and second gear and so on in the obstacles. The class does not go fast so be patient and don't be nervous. Someone may fall and or a bike may fall but just remember we are all learning so being supportive of one another. It helps. For example a peer wasn't getting a obstacle and so I helped coach him on how I was doing it and the instructors did too and he got it. Remember to wear proper gear. They are strict on that and time. Also, I would recommend knee, hip, and elbow pads. I enjoyed the class and will use these beginner skills and practice more to become a great motorcyclist. Will gladly recommend to friends. read more

I learned a lot more in this class than the MSF course I took a few years ago. It's very detailed on practical drills. Instructors Cynthia, Elliot and Bob were really nice. Thank you guys, it was fun! read more

Took the accelerated (haha) two day class, and it was really great. I'd never driven a motorcycle before so I was a bit nervous, but the team at Ride Rite takes things slow and gets you comfortable. Katie taught both class portions. She was nice and energetic. The class units are informative and get you prepared before you actually get on a bike. At first it seems like all the information is overwhelming but, again, it all makes sense when you get out on the range. Seth, Bob, and Elliott were our range instructors. They were awesome. You get more time and attention from your range instructors than the classroom, which is really helpful. They are sweet and patient and give great visual and vocal cues. I recommend this class so much to anyone and everyone. If you are afraid of bikes, get over your fear. If you just want to learn, this place is great. If you want to get your endorsement to get your license, this is apparently easier/less stressful than the DMV test. For any bad reviews from people upset that they couldn't make it to the next round and had to return for a new class, think about what you're getting into. These people are certified to endorse you for a license. Do you really want people on motorcycles that aren't fit to drive? Do you really want yourself on a motorcycle if you're not fit to drive? It is for your safety at the end of the day. Two people from my five person group were sent home after the first hour of range and asked to come back and restart a new class. While it is disappointing, we understood. Some people need one on one training. I especially recommend that if English isn't your first language. Like I mentioned, the class is very very fast and if you don't understand the terminology, you won't pass. I'd rather you tell me early on that I need more guidance than let me get through 16 hours of training then fail. read more

A had a terrific experience with the 2 day course offering. The location was easy to find, had a lot of parking available. The class room section was in a trailer that had AC and the class room section was filled with lots of info. I loved that there was a lot of riding time involved. A good selection of bikes for short and tall. Gradually increasing difficulty of exercises and always focused on safety. I preferred the class over doing the dmv skills test especially coming from zero riding experience. I would say about 80 percent of us passed, and sometimes it just isn't your day but they allow retakes (not sure if any fees). Also tips: don't be late, they state it heavily on the website and our group saw it in person someone being replaced easily. Bring snacks and water. Thank you to our instructions Cynthia, Matt, Marna, and Mark. read more

Ride Rite - Cynthia doing a demo of the exercise. - Driving Schools Near Me - Los Angeles, California

A great experience and an eye opener from a statistical point of view. The classroom training is informative and the physical training is fun as well as run with the efficiency of the military. I have zero complaints and felt empowered to continue my own training. The instructors Katie, Zig, Mark, Steve, Seth and Elliot were both fun and professional. They provide the motorcycles, helmets and gloves. Would highly recommend to friends. read more

I highly recommend to take the classes at this place, if you have already a knowledge about riding or you don't.It is the perfect place to improve your skills and learn. Instructors are very professional, patient and very helpful I was lucky to be taught by Cynthia Mackay & Elliot. Both are great and they would take their time explaining the steps, tactics at the field and make sure you would do it correctly. I had so much fun in the class learning about motorcycles, the skills on the road and what you need to know before being on the road. read more

I just finished my course ,it was fun with professional teachers ,Thank you guys ,I learned a lot, specially to Rich, Dave and Bob D,

Upcoming student in this class. Just wondering does taking this class give you the opportunity to not take the riders test at the DMV?

I had an amazing experience taking a beginner course with Ride Rite. Elliot, Bob, Touren (sorry if spelling is wrong) are wonderful instructors! Extremely patient and professional, you can tell they're passionate about riding. Here's a breakdown: - Easy registration and instructions - Great knowledge - Great location - Great accommodations The only cons are the students, if you're with a class with people who regurgitate what they've seen on YouTube from experienced riders who do track days then be prepared to be annoyed out of your mind. It's a beginner course, meant to teach you fundamentals and develop your skills and guide you in the correct path for safety and competence. It's not a course where you get to ask questions about how to rip through corners at blinding speeds, advance techniques, stroke your ego. I have a few miles logged and have my own motorcycle, so if you're taking this course for the DMV waiver please keep an open mind. This course gave me immense confidence, the knowledge shared by the instructors and their promises kept to the students. I will definitely come back for more courses after I ride and practice more, like they said, it's a lifelong journey. The beginner course should be state sponsored to be honest, I'd be lost without this course, so much valuable knowledge. Thank you Elliot, Bob, Touren! read more

I took the 2-day class in Lake Elsinore. I had no motorcycle experience ever. I was absolutely terrified. but this class had three great instructors.Guillermo,Amy,and another instructor named Chris I believe that's his name, but I might be wrong sorry if I got his name wrong.by the end of day one I was getting the understanding of the skills needed. I was very impressed with the patience and knowledge of these instructors. Not once did they get frustrated or upset. Thats a great skill to have when teaching anything. I am going to recommend. This course to all my friends. read more

My son and I decided to take lessons with Ride Rite. These guys were great! Lisa was very nice and accomodating with needing to reschedule when I got sick on our first lesson. Katie provided our first in class lesson. She's got a bubbly personality and keeps the lesson informative and quick paced. Mark and Elliot were our hands on instructors - great guys. Both are very approachable, personable and take their time to make sure you understand the instructions. Each skill is learn by repetition. I found reading the print out manual before the class room lessons to be quite helpful. I also suggest printing out the manual. It makes taking notes much easier. You'll simply need to underline the points stresses in the slide presentation. I definitely suggest you use Ride Rite. Totally worth it. Thanks to you all at Ride Rite! We both are looking forward to riding! read more

What a great class to take!! Very informative, teach you life lessons and how to expect the unexpected!! Katie was a great instructor and kept everyone involved and made sure we all paid attention and was doing everything properly so when we hit the streets we're prepared!! I'm interested in taking some more classes in the future for the more advance stages.. Also they called me Monday to make sure my name was spelled correctly before they mailed it out. It is now Thursday and I got it in the mail!! Wow 2 days! I'll be going to the dmv tomorrow to take my written test and as long as you pass the riding test at the ride rite course you'll be able to skip the riding test portion at the dmv! Thanks guys!! read more

I retook this course after taking a couple of years off of riding. I worked with Bob and Turin and both were incredibly instructors. They were very professional and helped riders stay calm, cool and collected while they learned the basic skills of motorcycle riding. I would highly recommend this class to anyone looking to get their motorcycle license or anyone who has taken some extended time off of a motorcycle. read more

Just finished my two day motorcyclist safety program. I was lucky enough to have Turin and Elliot as my instructors. Having zero experience with riding a motorcycle, both Turin and Elliot gave me the confidence and knowledge to learn how to ride a motorcycle. They are both very patience, thorough, and have great attention to detail. By the second day, The whole class was able to ride a motorcycle in an safe and efficient manner. If you are serious about learning and have an open mind to being taught, ride rite is your best bet. I just hope you get lucky enough to have the same instructors as I did. Make sure you bring a lot of water and some snacks with you. read more

Had a total blast with Mark and Seth this past weekend at Ride Rite! I had no idea how to use a clutch and really had no clue what a friction zone was and with their help I'm ready to get my own bike and take my new skills to the road. Highly highly recommended for anyone wanting to learn how to properly ride a motorcycle or even to those terrified to ride a bike. Mark and Seth are awesome guys, they are always there to make sure forming habits were not bad ones, plus they have a fun and funny dynamic going on. I had a great time learning from you guys! ride safe!! and also i just want to add that the negative reviews i have read here on yelp do not reflect the experience i had whatsoever, not sure what happened to those people but i would absolutely recommend the course. read more

Special thanks to Bob amd Elliott for helping me learn to ride a motorcycle the rite way. They are very knowledgeable and professional and I highly recommend Ride Rite for people that want to build confidence in their ability to ride a motorcycle. read more

Just completed this motorcycle training course. I am extremely ecstatic about it as I tried once a couple years ago at another location and didn't pass. I was a bit discouraged as it has been bothering me ever since. I wanted to make it one of my last goals this year to try again. Found Ride Rite and they helped us down to the basics to successfully be new riders. The instructors were very knowledgeable, charismatic and attentive to each and every one of us. If riding a motorcycle one day is what you want, don't be afraid, never give up if you don't get it the first time, or let others say you can't. Be dedicated, committed, disciplined as it's a lot of fun once you get the hang of it. If you decide to go down this path, be safe, vigilant and I'll see you riding on the streets of LA with smiles. read more

Well today I finished my course I'm motorcycle safety and got my certificate. If it wasn't for the patients of my instructor elliot I doubt I would have passed this course .Elliot went way out of his way to help me understand what I was doing wrong and took the time to make sure I got it right .dont get me wrong somehow he managed to do this with all six of us in his group . I don't know what they are paying this guy but he is definitely from what I can tell a real asset to this company .I also have to mention bekki in the office who helped me with scheduling problem I was having she quickly solve my dilemma and got me into a class the next day .I'm sure I'll bff e doing some follow up classes with ride rite cause you need every tool possible to keep safe driving these LA. streets. The only reason I don't give these guys a 5 rating is due to the motorcycle I was assigned while probably 80% of there biked seemed to be in good shape I was just lucky enough to get biked that were as bit older and ready for servicing. I would feel very comfortable recommending this company to my family and friends ,they are doing a great job over there. That's supposed to be 4.5 stars not 4 read more

I'm very happy that I took the class and learned important stuff. Bob and Katie both are very professional and also fun. 11 students all passed the tests and every single one was happy. Looking forward to take the other classes. Thanks to Bob and Katie. read more

Ride Rite - Training bike - Driving Schools Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Haven't ridden in quite some time and didn't feel comfortable trying to attempt the DMV Test after purchasing a bike recently. Ride Rite was the right call. I took the 10/20-21 course with Marna. She was engaging, concerned, and extremely patient. She serves as an ASL interpreter outside the course and was able to masterfully work with a hearing impaired student while not missing a beat. She was also extremely kind with ESL students in the class. She ran a tight classroom and range, but if you followed the three promises, she made sure you succeeded. Even with my own injuries that cause me to process and engage differently, she made sure that I was successful. I have deficiencies still in my riding and she cared enough, despite that I passed, to suggest other training and taking more of the riding portion to be safe and alive. Mad respect for that, where other schools would have just took the check and said see ya. The one caveat... some of the bikes they loan are REALLY bad. Mine wouldn't stay running half the time, but at least it was a bike to practice skills on and, should it get laid down (I did not), was not my new bike :). You'll probably never read this Marna, but thank you, sincerely, for caring and thank you Ride Rite for an excellent course. read more

I have no clue as to why this school has such high ratings. My instructor was very friendly and it was initially fun to ride a bike, but that's about where the positives end. We spent the first 4 hours going over general safety and riding items (e.g., scanning ahead of your vehicle, wearing body covering armor/protective gear), about 5 minutes on the actual motorcycle and where things were located. Following this instruction we were put on bikes - mind you, without most of the protective gear they mentioned for hours earlier in the day. Helmet and gloves only...no knee pads, and no elbow pads. I've never driven stick shift so concepts like holding a clutch the entire time were brand new. In my opinion it was extremely irresponsible to throw me into the deep end of the pool like that. Again, I very literally did not know what I was doing. At one point I was unintentionally going a bit too fast, and I forgot to bring the clutch back while braking. I fell off the bike as a result, and then the bike fell on top of me. My body is covered in painful (and mobility limiting) bruises and large, deep cuts. It is incredibly negligent to not have knee or elbow pads available, especially for first time riders. And even more negligent when you make a point to talk about this during the instruction! I would likely have been far less injured had the proper safety precautions been put in place. Equally negligent and upsetting is the complete lack of usable first-aid available (i.e., not even a band-aid!) or people trained to administer it. When you're dealing with such dangerous equipment this is irresponsible and inexcusable. It's extremely disappointing as I'd been looking forward to the class for over a month. My sister, who was also in the class, fell twice and suffered multiple bruises as well. She had a difficult time handling the bike, but with proper instruction might have been much more successful. Not only can I not recommend this course to any new riders, but I would say it's dangerous to anyone other than experienced riders. read more

See all

Super good ... great instructors and a lot of fun in the range ..... I really recomen it worth every penny read more

Hello, Thank you for teaching me how to ride motorcycle. I didn't pass but I will do my best next time to pass it. They are very great especially Mark. read more

Bob and Elliot were great! Amazing at what they do and I'm glad i took this course. Looking forward to the next class once I've put some more miles in with my own bike. read more

I would like to start off by saying that I attended Ride Rite because of John K's review on here. I have always wanted to ride a motorcycle, but felt that you had to fit a certain mold to ride. I was so wrong, the community is open and everyone loves to help you learn the Let this be your place to start! Just completed the CMSP MTC and passed! Had Bob as an instructor, via zoom, and he was great, really strove to get us interested and stay focused. Katie and Elliot were my instructors on the range, they were a lot of fun and very nice. Their teaching style was superb. You can't run until you learn to walk... but they teach you how to crawl, stand, and take you through all the steps to make riding easy. I like the most that they did not discourage you when you made mistakes, they literally guided you into the right positions. Very positive coaching here. They even took people one on one for a second to really help them understand. The range is a blast. This is a safety course, so don't be surprised that it's like 70% about how to be safe before and during your ride. However, it is completely worth it. Thanks for everything, and stay safe! *Katie did an excellent job at maintaining everyone's personal safety during this pandemic. Making sure we wore our masks at all times and keeping distance. read more

It was a pleasure meeting Marna, Matt and Shane. They are knowledgeable and great instructors. Emphasizing in safety training, helping you become a better rider!! Shane has wobbly legs demonstrating head turn and body lean with emphasize! Legs tight!! Thank you Marla for first day intro you explained the safety rules with patients and firmness! Matt finished our training providing great instructions building our skills!! I WILL SEE YA'll at NEXT TRAINING COURSE!! CMSP ROCK!! read more

First motorcycle class and it was really good!! I feel like i can actually ride a motorcycle. Went up to 3rd gear today. Learned great techniques and how to ride safe. The instructors Marna and Matt were both very friendly and detailed on what to improve as you go along. I'm excited to come back tomorrow. I was a bit sad that the class ended an hour and a half early, would have loved to keep practicing but it was very hot, so its good not to get that much heat in one go. read more

Just finished my training last week, I have to say it was a great experience thanks to the professional instructors, Mike, Michelle and Seth! I have learned a lot of beneficial skills even though I ride motorcycles for over a decade, thank you guys! read more

All in all was a great class. Katie and Bob were great instructors. My only complaint was I didn't receive a zoom link right away and had to call to have the link sent to me. I wouldn't have made the second class had Katie not called in and had the second link sent to the entire class ahead of time. Covid adjustments must be made so I understand the confusion. Glad I took this class. Will finally have my M1. Thanks. read more

Great motorcycle school to take the safety course. Instructors are patient and helpful. I got my safety license from them 3 years ago and have been riding safe ever since. Have recommended multiple people including family to them. read more

Elliot, Mark, and James were great instructors: knowledgeable, patient, and supportive. I had effectively zero riding experience before taking the CMSP course but came away feeling more confident on a bike and motivated to becoming a better rider. read more

I took the two day beginners course. I was riding a 150cc scooter the last two years and finally got around to stepping it up. This course was very informative. The instructors have had decades of experience and are very informative, humble and helpful. The class also didn't have just beginners. There were a few experienced riders there who wanted to just get more knowledge. Super convenient parking, They provide a motorcycle for you to practice on, boots, gloves and a helmet. Really helpful and informative. Encourage anyone to check them out. read more

If you are planning to ride for the first time or even if you are a veteran motorcyclist this course is simply a must! Very hands on, knowledgeable, experienced and no cutting corners with the instructors! Big thanks to Eliot, Bob, Bernadette all of the staff who were just the best in helping me ride for the first time, get certified and help me get my license! Definitely 100% Recommended and will be looking forward to their Intermediate course in the future! read more

Guillermo was an awesome instructor and helped me feel very confident while sitting on a bike for the first time, he was very positive and gave great advice and tips, awesome class, definitely recommend if you're a 1st time rider! read more

I did my 2 day CMSP at the Van Nys location. Our classroom instructor was Seth. Loved Seth's way of teaching and keeping the mood light and relaxed, with an occasional joke. For our range instruction Seth was assisted by Matt and Mark, they we're all excellent. I was initially a little intimidate by the idea of riding a motorcycle but 3 min into it that was gone and i became more an more confident. Seth and Mark really helped me with their coaching and feedback. I only wish their was more riding time LOL! (5+ hours in Summer heat, Yes please!) I'll never forget ONEC, SPAT, SIPDE and SMOG, and if you ever need more info on your motorcycle ask MOM. Thank you SETH!! MARK!! read more

I don't use yelp much anymore because of their thug-like aggressive blackmailing of businesses and forcing them to pay or else (removal of positive reviews and pushing negative reviews to the top, which magically disappears when you start paying them). But I was just amazed at this riding class, and more importantly the instructors that guided me through the program. Bob, Elliott and Cynthia were amazing. We had a mixed group, some first-timers, some already had experience on the road. As the course progressed it was visible that everyone is improving and learning, the progress was obvious, but more importantly - I had a blast throughout these couple of days. read more

Just completed the intro course and it was the best decision. The instruction and physical training really helped me to mentally and physically prepare myself to ride. The instructors Katie and Bob were fun and informative. I will definitely recommend this training to family and friends. read more
