Our philosophy is to offer thorough practical tuition ranging from CBT (Compulsory Basic Training) or full test training and beyond to the ERS (Enhanced Rider Scheme).
There have been big changes recently to the motorcycle test with the introduction of a 2 part test including new manouevres and a more challenging on-road test. We believe our training will give you the skills not just to pass the tests, but to be a good safe rider on the road.
Location, Location, Location!
We are based in the heart of 1066 country, Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex. 1 1/2 hours from London, 40 mins from Tunbridge Wells and 20 mins from Eastbourne and Hailsham. Public transport is readily available to get to Bexhill, and we are only minutes from Bexhill’s main railway station.
Our training venue is a large private area surrounded by tress and bushes with no access shared with the general public giving you the time and space to train and warm up before you go out for your road rides.
Our office, lecture rooms and all our bikes are kept on site so there is no running around to different sites, we’ve even got our own parking area, so drive in park up and let’s get riding !
The Courses we offer:
Compulsory Basic Training (CBT)
Direct Access Scheme (DAS) Category A bike test
Standard Bike Test. Category A2 bike test
Further Training, Enhanced Rider Scheme (ERS)
Exclusive VIP training
Compulsory Basic Training (CBT)
CBT The start of your motorcycling! A full days course, which runs through all elements of getting started to ride, this includes throttle/clutch control, slow riding, gear changing, junction procedures , emergency stops and 2 hour road ride, once completed you receive your DL196 (CBT certificate). Price: £125 all inclusive
If you want to ride a big bike (more than 125cc) you need to pass your motorcycle test.
There are 2 options:
Direct Access Scheme (DAS) Category A bike test
To qualify for DAS you have to be 21 or over, take your training and test on a motorcycle with a power output of 46.6bhp or more (normally a 500cc bike or over), then you will have a licence to ride any size bike unrestricted! DAS may not be suitable for the smaller or less confident rider.
We will teach you to ride properly, not 'just to pass a test', so with our all inclusive price you get unlimited lessons and your test fees included, there really are no hidden extras!
Our aim is to equip our pupils with the ability to ride safely in all road situations, and when you can do that passing a test is easy. Of course you might get nervous on test and make a silly mistake, if that happens you just pay for your next test fee, any extra lessons you may need are free.
Price: £675 all inclusive
Standard Bike Test. Category A2 bike test
This is the standard bike test where you undergo training on a 125 geared bike, once you have passed the A2 test you can ride (almost) any bike you like but it must be restricted to 33bhp.
So what is a 33bhp bike? What can it do?
Well these bikes are capable of around 110mph (if it were legal!!) and will out accelerate most modern cars, there is no visual difference so no-one would know that your bike is restricted. After 2 years your licence automatically upgrades and then you can ride any bike you like!!
This test is for under 21s or anyone else who would prefer to gain experience on smaller or medium power machines
Price: from £599
Further Training, Pass Plus
Once you have passed your test and have got your own bike we run further training on a one-to-one basis, this could be pillion rider training, or smoother more progressive riding technique, we work on your weaknesses
