Instructors were encouraging and very upbeat when training in the classroom. Once on the course (which they provide helmets, gloves and the bike) you were riding and feeling comfortable. This company made my dream come true and I had purchased my first bike by the end of class. Get there 30 minutes prior to class... be one time... and you will succeed. Thank you so much for everything you do. read more

Best experience I ever had with learning something so new to me! Zig and Mars are a power team and they answered every question we had. Fantastic instructors! Don't question whether or not learning how to ride is worth it. I did so myself. I'm happy I made the choice to take their 2 day course. Taking this course gave me the courage to ride on my own. Thank you Ride Rite! God bless you guys. read more

Ride Rite - Driving Schools Near Me - San Bernardino, California

I learned so much in the Basic Riding Course. Ziggy and Kai were excellent instructors with patience and the ability to explain to a new rider what needs to be done to correct errors. It's rare to find people who can break riding down into easy steps for a new rider to follow. I entered the classroom on the first day thinking I will probably need to repeat this course because I was truly a novice. I left with the confidence I needed to practice riding my motorcycle not only in a parking lot, but on the streets. I am really looking forward to taking another class from them in the future. I highly recommend Ride Right to anyone who is considering a riding course. read more

Highly recommend!! I had two amazing instructors, Ted and Jessie. This class is perfect to teach you all the basics and give you the confidence to safely start your riding journeyon two wheels. They thoroughly go over the steps and also provide visual instructions to demonstrate what is expected of you to understand and succeed. Thank you to the instructors!! read more

As a very first-time learner I was taking a training course of 2 lessons for $425 that is supposed to be for beginners in San Bernadino however the group i was in i was the only beginner everyone else was there for the license or to get a lower rate insurance and the pace of the course lesson is led by the rate the majority of the class is moving so i was always behind since everyone else already knew what they were doing and moving at a fast pace through the lessons they would expect you to get the hang of it quick I kept stalling my bike and asked for help to know what it is I am doing wrong instead of being helped I'm told to move to the side so I did and just watch a everyone else was going through the drill lesson I was eventually told to get back in the formation without helping me about the stalling I was having after stalling several more times I was rudely told what I was doing wrong I did not get any tips or advice on my riding or helped on the shifting even though I asked several times I was just told to keep moving it seemed they only want to keep you moving and don't care if you are performing the drill correct like shifting, downshifting, stopping, staying in the lane etc. My scheduled lesson was from 7am to 4pm but after booking the course lessons i was sent an email that the end time is approximate i attempted to get a refund and was told they give no refunds for any reason when so i went to my course lesson i was leaving at 4 but lessons where still going on but i had to go to work i was told if i left they would put me down as i voluntarily dropped out of the course lesson and will get not credit after speaking to someone about this i was told i had to retake the course for a $125 fee but my spot in the course lesson will not be guaranteed. You should separate the actual beginners from others who just want a license or lower insurance rate and already know how to ride since beginners will not be able to keep up with the pace, I should have also been told the end time is approximate before buying the lessons not after and should have gotten a refund some people have plans for the day or have a tight schedule, Instructors should actually be giving advice on how you are riding what they can improve or what they are doing wrong and help when being asked for it not ignored or just told to keep moving to the pace of the others. Overall, I would not recommend if you're a beginner read more

Finished this course this weekend. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to ride, no matter your experience. All of the instructors were great, well educated, understanding, and genuinely wanted the students to learn and to pass the course. Would definitely take another course with them in the future. read more

Ride Rite - Driving Schools Near Me - San Bernardino, California

I've had my bike for 3 years now and I had been too intimidated to even try to learn to ride it. I have never ridden a motorcycle, dirt bike, quad, not even a manual car. Every time I got on the bike I would shake uncontrollably, anxiety through the roof, and eventually just cry in defeat. I called to get information about the course and spoke with Amy. She was so encouraging and uplifting and gave me the push I needed to sign up. On the first day of the class, I was super nervous. The first half of the day is in the classroom and the second half is on the bike. My instructors were Tom and Vince. They were both awesome! They were very knowledgeable and patient. They would give advice and tips on anything they saw me struggle with. I passed the course and now just need to take my written at the DMV! I have practiced on my own bike (ninja 400) and I don't shake anymore! :) I am super excited to keep learning and improving! Hopefully, I will be riding the streets by the end of next year! read more

This 2 day course was amazing! I highly, highly recommend for new riders, or even experienced ones. I've been riding for 3 months on back roads and in the mountains on my TW 200, but I learned great skills like sharp turns, clutch work, emergency stops, etc. Ian and Kristi were very skilled, strict, and safe instructors. I felt safe at all times during the course and had all my questions answered. P.S. this course is intense. You will be wiped out and sore. But- worth it!! I'm going to apply new skills from now on and feel safer already! read more

What an experience! I've been on two wheels as long as I can recall but I've never completed licensing. Try ride rite! I learned a great deal in their BEGINNER class. Staff is Phenomenal! The office was understanding after I suffered an accident and couldn't make it and the instructors are genuinely there to show us how to have FUN! Safely. Special thanks to Bob. Im sending my 16 year old daughter to the next available class just for the education in safe driving and clutch management. Thanks ride rite...... smitty. read more

On sunday I completed my 2 day motorcyclist training course. Saturday was the first day of my safe riding days, I was tired by the end of day one and exhausted at the end of day 2. But so Happy and Proud of myself for accomplishing this course. Classroom time was very informative. I'm new to the world of riding and I was extremely nervous not sure of what to expect but I had the best instructors on the range Bo and Greg, they were very helpful and I appreciate their guidance and will keep in mind the advice and recommendations provided for safe riding I'll definitely recommend this class.

Ride Rite - Ride Rite @ Storm Stadium in Lake Elsinore - Driving Schools Near Me - San Bernardino, California

I took the IRC class today at the Lake Elsinore Storm Stadium thinking it was going to be a real intermediate class riding course and it was more like a joke. A good suggestion would be if you have some experience in riding it is not worth taking at all, you are better off just saving your money and going to the DMV to take the tests. As far as the instructors go, Bob was awesome and more consistent than Josh unfortunately i got stuck with Josh when they separated us into two groups but i survived and passed. Anyways people save your $ and watch (You Tube) videos if you need more experience then go practice that at a safe empty parking lot. read more

I did the training through the Lake Elsinore location. I wasn't sure if I would be the only girl but was surprised to see three others. There were a variety of ages and experience as well. The atmosphere of the training felt comfortable for any age, gender, or experience. If you're nervous about "feeling stupid", you won't feel that way if you choose Ride Rite. Dan taught our classroom training and was excellent. He had a great sense of humor combined with experience and useful tips. He made the time go by fast! We learned everything we needed to learn before taking our new knowledge to the range. The first day we had Bo and JJ as our range instructors. The second day we had Bo and Adrienne. All three were fantastic and really good at providing a combo of useful feedback and encouragement. By the end of the training I felt significantly more confident. I'm excited to take my bike out and continue my learning. Thank you, Dan, Bo, JJ, and Adrienne! Keep up the great work!! read more

Ride Rite - Lake Elsinore location! - Driving Schools Near Me - San Bernardino, California

Very professional and highly qualified instructors. Chris, Ian and Richard know what they are doing.

Shoutout to Freddy and Gio, I took the beginners motorcycle safety program at the Elsinore storm stadium with these two gentlemen and I was so grateful to have those guys teaching us. They were very patient and knowledgeable with every single one of us out there. Very happy I took this course and had those guys as our instructors. 10/10 recommend to anyone looking to learn or even the more advanced riders out there! read more

I took the 2 day beginner course and felt that it was worth every penny. The classroom portions were engaging and informative, and my instructor Adrian was a real treat. Our whole class passed the written portion, if that's any testament to Adrian's teaching methods. Range time was great. Kristy, Christi and George were our range instructors. They gave positive feedback and coaching at all times. They helped alleviate our fears and concerns and gave us confidence as the hours rolled by on the bikes. Just some tips. Bring lots of water, wear sunscreen, bring snacks. You'll be outdoors for several hours, the temperature, sun and maneuvering the bikes will wear you out. Keep hydrated and energized to maximize your learning potential. Also, the bikes are quite janky. They've been dropped a lot so they all have their little quirks. My bike wouldn't shift into neutral unless the bike was off. There was a silver Honda that wouldn't shift into second unless you pulled on it with the fury of God. Just be patient and learn your bike and you'll be ok. read more

I absolutely loved this school my trainer was G at the lake Elsinore location. G was so helpful he made sure take his time with our class to understand in classroom time and also riding. I had no experience at all after my two day course I'm riding my motorcycle. G has wonderful customer skills with is really helpful especially being nervous with no riding experience. I'm truly grateful for Riderite I recommend everyone to take the class it's worth it 100%. read more

Mark and J.J. are awesome! J.J. led the classroom portion and kept it funny, interesting, and engaging! Getting everyone from different ages, experience levels, and coordination up to speed was smoooooooth with 7 O's (Class joke for the clutch lol) TONS of information and a great refresher course even for the everyday rider. They also teach you how to be safe and what to watch out for on the roads. Mark was on the range with us and was extremely helpful! He really does take pride in this job and the safety of those he instructs! I would highly recommend this course and my instructors to any of my friends and family and I plan to do so! What a truly exceptional experience! read more

I booked my class for a weekend. It rained the week before my class. I received a call from Ride-Rite asking if my class could be pushed to the next weekend due to the rain students getting washed out. The phone op was going to send me a follow up email with all the new info. Fine. Nothing came. Days pass and I still hadn't heard anything from Ride-Rite. Fast forward to the day before my class. I call up ride-rite and they indicate that they have no record of the event and they would have to push me to a later date. I demand a refund and have to verbally argue with the phone op whom I was very polite to. A very poorly run company. I recommend you take your business elsewhere. Read the reviews, They're notorious for it. Shady. 1 star. read more

As a cyclist that has been cycle commuting for years I wanted to have another option for when I didnt want peddle power, so I decided to look into motorcycles. A friend recomended for me to start by taking the ride rite class and I'm glad I did. There is a class room portion, and 2 hands on course work, and I enjoyed all three. I would say the second hands on was far more fun. The motorcycles you learn on are simple 125cc, So there is no reason to be intimidated. I would say this is a great way to start a passion for motorcycles. Or just learn something different. the riding coaches are nice with a good attitude and understanding. Well worth the expense. read more

This review is from years ago, circa 2006 perhaps. I took this class with my mother because she didn't want to do it alone. Breezed through the classroom portion. When it came time to do the on-bike training my mother and I were the only non-licensed riders. Everyone else was just there to earn a certificate to lower their insurance. The first day class ended almost an hour early. The second day they finished instruction about half an hour early to move onto the testing portion. I failed the test because I was not able to maneuver properly. I feel like as instructors they should not be cutting the classes short just because the majority are experienced riders. Or they could have released the experienced riders and worked more closely with the new riders. I was never given extra instruction, nor tips on what I was doing wrong or any indication that I was not picking up their lessons. Again, I feel the instructors lacked. They should mold their teachings to the needs of their students and not just provide cookie cutter, one size fits all instructions. They offered another class, but when I showed up I couldn't find anyone. They gave an address with no further instruction. Didn't specify where we should go or how to get in (Corona PD). I didn't think it'd be hard to find a group of people and a bunch of motorcycles. I finally gave up and never pursued riding again. read more

Took my class at the new location in Corona last weekend. Six stars for instructor Bob (classroom & range), aka S.O.B. (sweet ole bubba) for bringing donuts and entertainment to the classroom; 5-stars for the rest of the crew- George (range), Dan (classroom), Christie (range), and Greg (range). They are so encouraging, supportive, and patient. Corona location is nice, very clean. There's a cafe onsite selling food & drinks, and many other places to eat within a 1/2-mile. Bring plenty of water, esp if the outdoors is warm. It's amazing how dehydrated and exhausted you get from riding under the sun. You get many breaks throughout the day and at least a one-hour lunch. They definitely want everyone to pass. There were at least 3 students that put their foot down during the eval, and one that dropped his bike, but all 11 of us passed! Be open-minded, be vocal, ask questions, and enjoy the experience! The only thing i didn't like was going home and not having a bike to ride of my own **Although you have to wait 7-10 days to get the official yellow certificate in the mail, i recommend going to the dmv for the written M1 exam as soon as possible while everything is fresh in your brain. So much of what is covered in class is EXACTLY what you'll be tested on.. verbatim. I completed my 2-day course on a saturday, went to dmv the following monday, and rcvd my cert in the mail that friday. I now have to make a 2nd trip back to dmv to turn in my certificate and make it 100% legit. *NOTE: If you're under 21 you will not be allowed to take the written exam until you bring in that certificate! Also, you'll have to take an 18-question class-c written exam if it's been more than a year since the last time. Don't stress, it's common sense driving. read more

This has been my first foray into motorcycling, I was very intimidated about riding and honestly I never had the intention of ever riding a motorcycle until a few months ago, thanks COVID! So I found these guys online and I booked the first available class. Day 1 is going over some things in class to prepare you for your first day of riding. The instructor, Bernadette was amazing and did a great job of explaining everything and kept it engaging! Day 2 is your first day on a bike, well at least for me it was but they did a superb job of easing into the experience little by little. Half way through the day I started feeling great and my confidence picked up tremendously! By the end of the day things progress more and more to help you gain more confidence and understanding how everything ties together. You'll learn the phrase SPAT a lot! Speed, Position, Aim, Turn - It'll be your new mantra! Later that evening they go over what you learned and dive into getting you on your way to getting your endorsement. Pay attention to everything they tell you, it'll help for your written test the next day. Day 3 is more building on top of what they taught you on Day 2 and it starts to get really challenging but fun! They will evaluate each rider and calculate a score for a pass or fail. Thankfully I passed and everyone I talked to there did as well! After taking this course am I ready to ride out on Ortega Highway or venture off to Sturges? Nope! But that's not the point of this class. It's meant to get you your endorsement so you can hone your skills further, legally. I plan to take this very seriously and practice, practice, practice until it becomes second nature! Special thanks to Bernadette, Rich and Ian! You guys are awesome! read more

Firstly, I'd like to say that the instruction I received in the classroom and on the range was excellent. The central reason for my dissatisfaction is as follows: I signed up to take the course on June 7. First day of class, after the classroom session I head to the range. The second riding coach never showed, so my friend and I were sent home (this is after driving from Pasadena to Riverside). It was hard enough to make these two days fit my schedule, but having to reschedule brought a new level of frustration. After speaking with the secretary, I was "rescheduled" for June 10. A few days before that I was told that I was again bumped to July 2. The lack of professionalism was truly unbelievable. No apologies whatsoever, poor communication, and whoever sends and receives emails for the company seems to have no idea what's going on. I'm grateful for the knowledge I gained, but the company itself is very poorly run. It was easily one of the worst businesses I've ever had to work with, and I would give it zero stars if I could. This is my first Yelp review, created especially for this highly irritating experience in order to warn future customers. If you're interested in learning to ride, sign up with a company that has their act together. read more

For the Corona location. Allen & Debby & Steve (I think that's his name) were the instructors for the 2 days & Steve was the classroom teacher. It's crazy, their teaching style is so perfect after the learning session is done and its time to take the test you just know everything. They have perfected their craft, best place to go for the MSF Course. I started off not knowing anything about motorcycles, never having driven one in my life, to now being able to get my own motorcycle, having the skills to ride and master riding on my own. read more

My name is Dan Kirksey, I have been riding off and on for over 20 years and owned 11 bikes...and I did not know how to ride. I paid the $250 to avoid the DMV test, not because I saw any value. The day started with an introduction to Doc. he did an excellent job controlling the group as well as putting the curriculum into words we could understand. Then off th the course two coaches Seth, and I forgot the woman's name but they were both outstanding. I personally learned habits that will save my life someday. I wached students that have not been on a bike before and scared, ride well by the end of the class. In a world of OVER PROMISE and UNDER DELIVER it was my privilege to have been associated with your class and staff. read more

Where o where do I begin...I took my class this weekend in Van Nuys. It was everything I could have hoped for. The instructors kicked ass. Im am so giving a shout out to Larry and Don (my favorite) lol. I have my permit and have been riding for a while and I knew there was so much more to learn. Well I did. I know its going to make me a better rider. Not perfect, but better. Cant wait to get out and practice all that I learned. I didnt want to forget to mention that I had an emergency my first morning so I called the office and spoke with Lisa. She was really nice and helpful in helping me make it all work out. It means a lot to me when you get someone like that on the other end of the phone, so thank you Lisa. Remember when you go to your riding classes to think of the weather. Its hot right now and you are in the sun for hours. Lots of water and sunscreen. If you are going to take riding classes I am telling everyone this is the place to go. Im not the only one, all my classmates seemed happy as well. By the end of the day everyone is pushing for eachother. Also if you are a girl dont feel intimidated. There was plenty of girls. Thanks again Ride Rite, Don and Larry. You Rock :) read more

It had been decades since I had ridden a motorcycle, and the first time for my 19 year old son. The course, taught in Riverside by team Kristy Moore and Chrystie Potts, was exceptionally informative in the classroom and out on the range. Both ladies made our days enjoyable by adding their keen senses of humor, thumbs up, and smiles. Both my son and I can't wait to take the intermediate course, though we will wait until we have a thousand miles or so under our belts. In yesterday's 10 mile ride, I was constantly replaying in my mind what had been taught to us. OUTSTANDING PROFESSIONAL INSTRUCTION!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! read more

Ride Rite - Certificates of completion. A great couple days which will lead to safer days ahead! - Driving Schools Near Me - San Bernardino, California

Just completed my two day training course with Ride Rite. It was A enjoyable and fun experience. Learned so much about riding safely. I have never ridden a motorcycle, but wanted to make that part of my life. I went out and bought a motorcycle before I had ever rode one. I was so intimidated by the prospect of riding my motorcycle, but with the training I received with Ride Rite I am comfortable and have a high respect for my motorcycle. I recommend anyone that is thinking about riding a motorcycle to go to Ride Rite. read more

Ride Rite - Driving Schools Near Me - San Bernardino, California

This review is for the Lake Elsinore location. Probably the original reason I signed up for this course was to avoid the calamity of the dmv riding test. I have lots of off road experience from many years ago.. And a good bit of "around town" riding from the same period.. So of course I thought I knew everything there was to know. In a word.. Turns out I didn't know jack... The instructors in my class were just excellent. Steve, Zig, Kristen and Matt.. They know their business. Look.. This is just basic stuff BUT I definitely learned a few techniques that "magically" instantly changed my ride. Now.. I am anxious to get some miles under my belt then go back for the intermediate course. BTW. My class was a mix of millennials, women, Old Dudes.. You name it. I made a couple of good buddies and actually enjoyed the experience. read more

Took the motorcycle safety class this past weekend at Lake Elsinore, Storm Stadium location. Great school! Great Instructors. Class was extremely beneficial and I would recommend it to anyone contemplating taking the course. Whether you are a beginner, just starting out, or been riding 'Dirty' and looking to get legal; You will learn something. You truly feel that the instructors want you to learn. They want you to be as safe and as knowledgeable as possible before finishing. Everyone in my class passed and we all agreed that we felt more confident going home then we did when we first got there. Stop thinking about it, just sign up and take the class. You will be glad you did when you pass and they hand you your CMSP Completion Card. ***fyi...They mail your completion certificate for the DMV, so don't schedule your M1 appt too soon after. You will need a week or so after class to receive the certificate or you will end up going to DMV twice*** Update 4/19: Completed class on 4/10. Received completion certificate in mail 4/18. Passed my DMV written & received my M1 endorsement on 4/19. I credit passing the DMV written, on first attempt, to taking this course. THANKS RIDE RITE!!!! read more

Dave and Dan truly deliver on helping you understand the various components of safe riding and most important, having fun! They continuously give insight and feedback to help you focus on what to work on. I felt comfortable and ready to learn more. They're big on giving you confidence without lowering their expectations. They definitely make it memorable! read more

GREAT GREAT Instructors!!! Dave taught the classroom portion as well as the range and was outstanding. Anytime I made a mistake on the range he would pull me over and give me tips on how to improve. Dan only taught the range and was very helpful with all the exercises. At first I was a little pessimistic about this course but after taking it I truly believe that this course should be a requirement for everyone trying to ride a motorcycle. Thank you guys you made this experience so much better. Will come back for the intermediate class in a few months. read more

WOW . . . talk about a good deal . . . Ride Rite has it all. Very easy to register on-line. Excellent instructions and location MAPs. I had two rider coaches that both gave a high level of personal attention. Kristy and Tracy both CAN RIDE and great teachers to boot. I cannot give a higher recommendation to the service and expertise that I received from the entire Ride Rite staff. If you are planning to start riding a motorcycle, THIS SCHOOL IS A MUST . . . I was a full time rider of 5 years before I took this course and I learned PLENTY. Riding a motorcycle is serious business and safety should be at the top of your priority list. Do yourself a big favor . . . enroll in the motorcycle training course at Ride Rite and ride safely . . . you and your loved ones will be glad you did. Donovan Stark, Riverside, CA read more

Great school/training. Staff is excellent and very helpful in all aspects of learning and training. Hands on. Ted and Dan(instructors) make a good pair. Highly recommend even if you have had motorcycle riding experience. read more

Just finished up with my classes on Thursday and Friday. I have never ridden a bike before, only a dirt bike once or twice in my life. haha. Dan and Chrystie were the instructors for our class and they were great! I learned a lot of key techniques to stay safe while I'm out riding and they did a great job explaining everything clearly. Not once did the class drag or seem dull, everyone in the class was involved, participated and it was overall an excellent experience! I would recommend to this class everyone, it can definitely help out, even riders with a bit more experience than I had ( close to nothing ) Thank you Dan and Chrystie!! read more
