Motorcycle riding lessons: a guide for pros
What customers ask, how to win the job, and what to put on your profile.
Offering motorcycle riding lessons
You teach motorcycle riding, covering controls, balance, turning, braking and safe riding in a training area before road skills. Your listing should show your certification or license and the riders you teach best.
What customers ask
- I have never ridden. Can you teach me from the beginning?
- I need a training course for my license. What is included?
- Do you provide the bike and the gear?
- I am nervous about tipping over in the turns. How do you teach that?
- Can you help me get back on a bike after years away?
How to win the job
- On the first call, ask the student's experience, the goal and whether they need a license course or refresher riding.
- Offer a short assessment in the parking area, and explain how the first session will build balance and control.
- Show a sample progression for one skill, such as turning, from slow speed to faster speed with the reasons for each step.
- Share a short clip of a training drill, if the student agrees to share it, with the safety points explained.
- Put the course type, bike and gear, session count and road riding plan in the quote.
- Say clearly which skills the course covers and which it does not, so students know what they will leave with.
What to put on your profile
- Your instructor certification or license and the training courses you have taught, stated accurately.
- Your riding experience and the types of riders you work with, such as beginners or returning riders.
- Photos of your training area and gear, with no student faces unless they agree.
- The course formats you offer, such as license courses, beginner lessons or refresher sessions.
- Reviews from students that name the goal and what they achieved, once they agree to share them.
Follow-up that helps the customer
- After a session, suggest a practice drill for the parking area and the date of the next session.
- Offer a refresher session before a ride with a group or a long trip when the student's goal fits, and let them choose.
- Recommend a gear fitting or a safety course for the next step, and let them decide.
Licenses and permits
Motorcycle training is often regulated. Check with your state or local licensing agency for the instructor certification, course approval and any insurance you must have in place before you take students, and keep those documents available to show riders.
