Fantastic experience: Took the course I was so pleasantly surprised in how my instructor Rob went out of his way to make sure everything was explained until everyone in class understood properly great training for people of all levels of motorcycle experience.

Fantastic experience: Had the best 2 day experience with Austin Moto Academy in Buda. Rob, the instructor, was truly passionate about riding and teaching and did a wonderful job! He was engaging, fun to learn from, but also stuck to the well-planned curriculum. The objectives were clear and it was tons of fun learning to ride even though I had no previous experience. At the end of the second day, I met Miles, the owner. He was enthusiastic, approachable, and had a contagious excitement talking about all the different motorcycles they had rescued and were adding to the fleet. The facility is purpose made for learning to ride and was excellent. There are a good variety of motorcycles you’ll have an opportunity to ride, which added to the enjoyment. One word of advice: once you confirm a date for the class, book an appointment to get your license. Otherwise you will be excited to ride but have to wait until you can get your motorcycle endorsement added to your existing license- which could potentially take weeks or months.

Savanna Puccio 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: I absolutely loved this place, already wishing I could go back. I have nothing to compare it to however, Austin Moto Academy made my learning experience worth being out in the rain and cold. My instructor Rob did a wonderful job taking us through every possible scenario with a great story to tell. He truly cared about each rider remembering everyones name, learning about one another, and making sure we would feel welcome into the motorcycle community. If you need, want, or are even curious about getting your motorcycle license I would not overlook Austin Moto Academy. They've got a variety of motorcycles, custom painted courses (not a parking lot), and the best instructors, I highly recommend Rob!

Fantastic experience: A huge shoutout to Instructor Vince! He’s incredibly talented, funny, and always respectful and approachable. His teaching style is exceptional, making even the trickiest concepts, like clutch and throttle control, easy to grasp. He brings so much energy to his lessons, making them fun and engaging, and he genuinely connects with his students, even during breaks. If you have the chance to take his class, don’t hesitate—you’ll learn a lot and have a great time. He’s an outstanding instructor!

Mya F 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: I recently took a motorcycle course with Rob, and I couldn’t be more impressed! From the start, the class was welcoming and full of beginners, just like me. Rob, the instructor, was nothing short of amazing. His passion for teaching really shines through, and you can tell he genuinely loves what he does—especially when working with true beginners. Beyond just teaching the course material, Rob shared thoughtful stories and made sure we all understood the risks of riding, especially when it comes to being under the influence. It’s clear he cares deeply about his students' safety and success. The class was incredibly fun, and even my husband, who was initially reluctant (I forced him to sign up, haha), left the first day feeling excited and pumped! He wished we could have more class time. Rob’s teaching style is what really stood out. He never glossed over anything, provided constructive feedback without judgment, and was always positive and encouraging. I’m truly in awe of his approach. I highly recommend this course, and if you’re lucky enough to have Rob as your instructor, you’re in for an amazing experience! This place is top notch.

Fantastic experience: Had an excellent experience with Rob C. learning to ride with my wife. Clear instruction, great attitude, particularly with new riders, and just a very fun, informative, and well-lead class. I’d highly recommend checking them out if you’re interested in learning to ride!

Scott Kyle 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: Rob is truly awesome and really cool guy. Incredibility knowledgeable obviously, but the magic is how he makes you think about safety in a way that makes you not only a better rider, but a better person. Being respectful of other drivers, knowing to check yourself emotionally and physically every time before a ride. To always gear up and go through the mechanical checklist. Small things that can have a huge impact on enjoying a lifelong love of riding. I am honestly say, I am glad it was a mandatory class to get my license.

Nick Pascarosa 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Robert was an incredible instructor! He helped make our whole class feel comfortable and confident, no matter the skill level. Really liked that there was a selection of bikes and we got to try a few different ones out during an exercise. We all passed!

Terry Font 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Rob was such a great teacher. The days went by so fast because we were having so much fun. He was great at keeping everyone engaged. It was a fun time, but also down to business. He worked hard to keep everything moving so that we could be out of there on time while still taking as much time we needed to ensue all students understood the content/objective. You are on that bike pretty much as soon as you get out there. So be ready to RIDE. They provide water if you need and there are very clean/well maintained porta potties. They do also provide helmets and gloves if you need. I highly recommend packing a quick lunch or snacks. I would highly recommend this course to ANYONE looking to get their M endorsement.

April Marie Bird 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: What an awesome course! Rob was an incredible coach. On the first day I was sooo nervous and didn’t think I would be able to do it. Within the first couple of hours he had me feeling at ease and eager to ride. He explained everything so clearly and made ot fun too. ABSOLUTELY recommend this course for any new beginner.

Fantastic experience: Rob did a fantastic job teaching this class. My husband and I both took this class and Rob was very knowledgeable and did a great job teaching us . Neither of us had rode bikes before this two day course and he made sure to answer any questions we had and gave amazing instructions. Everybody that took the two day course with us also passed!

Monica Miller 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Another vote for Coach Rob! Just finished up the Basic Rider Course and it was even better than I could have imagined! Rob made it the most fun experience...I was honestly sad when it was over (but relieved to have passed!). Everyone in our class passed, and it was cool to see all of our progression over the two days. Coach Rob was very clear with instructions, making it easy to know what was expected before each exercise. He gave us useful, practical and thoughtful information for once we're riding on the roads. I left knowing I am off to an awesome start on my motorcycling journey, thanks to Rob and the Austin Moto Academy.

Christopher Garcia 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I recently took the beginner course with Rob and it was great! You have the opportunity to test multiple bikes to determine the best riding style for you, never felt rushed throughout the entire course, and the instructors were extremely patient and informative. I definitely plan on returning to take the intermediate course and highly recommend for anyone considering learning how to ride!

Fantastic experience: Took two day Beginners Course with Rob C. He is an excellent teacher, classes were amazing. I had great time. He made sure I understood everything and gave me the confidence to ride any kind of motorcycle. Also, Met some great people in the class. We took breaks to keep ourselves hydrated. Classes are very well structured.

Fantastic experience: Rob was my instructor and not only did I have fun learning the basics, he gave us an experience and I highly recommend this school!

Joseph Jass 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve always wanted to ride a motorcycle as an adult and it seemed like the prudent thing to take a safety course to learn how to do so. This course went a long way to help me understand maneuvers and strategies to use while on the road to help in that journey. Rob is an awesome instructor and made great use of the 2 days on the range. His explanations, demos, and coaching were all succinct and clear. We had people in our class who had never ridden a motorcycle, no experience in working a clutch or changing gears and by the end, all participants passed the test. This was an awesome thing for the students and a testament to the effectiveness of Rob’s teaching style. You can tell that Rob puts a lot of work into making this course informative and engaging by sharing his own experiences to get insight into what the motorcycle culture on a whole has to offer. I would definitely recommend Austin Moto Academy Buda to anyone looking to learn about riding motorcycles and if you get a chance sign up with Rob. You won’t regret it!

Mark 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Rob, I just wanted to tell you thanks for all the coaching and mentoring during your class . You are phenomenal at what you do , especially having time for each of us in the class one on one at times needed, your patience, and understanding for everybody's riding abilities. For anyone reading this whether you are a beginner / novice or even experienced. If your looking to get a endorsement on license, Rob is your guy ! Thanks again, you the man Rob

Richard Vincent 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I recently wrapped up the beginner class with my youngest son and have to share we had a great time. We were fortunate enough to work with Rob and Vince, and even had the opportunity to meet the owner, Miles. In fact, we actually traveled from the Georgetown area primarily due to the online reviews of the coaches. I am glad we made the drive. Everyone was patient, passionate and well educated. Classmates were just as awesome.

Carrie Breckel 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I live north of Austin, but due to reviews, I decided to drive down to Buda instead of taking the course in Austin and it was a fantastic choice! The course was a lot of fun and very informative. After the concentrated hours on the bike, I felt things become more habitual and comfortable and have a good idea of what to keep practicing on my own. Rob was a great teacher and gave us all individual feedback that helped us become better riders. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend the Austin Moto Academy in Buda and the exemplary instructor Rob. Rob's encouragement and superior teaching methods, coupled with his humor and patience were a great comfort, particularly to those of us with minimal riding experience. Rob carefully walked us through each exercise, making sure we understood and could perform them confidently. The entire experience was both enjoyable and empowering, and it left me with a strong sense of confidence in my riding abilities.

Sean Bowers 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Had the MSF course with Vince. Super great coach. Explained exceptionally well all expectations and instructions. Took extra time with each of us during the exercises to give tips and encouragement. He made sure we didn't feel overwhelmed and was just all around spectacular. I passed my first try thanks to his help. As a tip with the DMV: they do require your driver's license AND passport or birth certificate. I am now legal to drive and it's all thanks to Austin Moto Academy... Thanks Vince!

Morgan Griswold Young 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I had an exceptional experience here at Austin Moto Academy in Buda. Jonathan, our rider coach for the beginner course, was amazing. The class is designed for those new to biking, like me. The online course beforehand helps prepare you for the fast-paced 2-day in-person session. Jonathan was super attentive, safety-focused, and explained everything well with diagrams and demonstrations. The course itself is full of practice and a final test on day 2. I highly recommend this motorcycle Academy and would recommend it to anyone in central Texas; it truly exceeded my expectations!

Jim Pollock 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Austin Moto Academy in Buda and Rob as instructor. Rob has a great sense of humor and a lot of patience with all of us who had little or no previous experience with motorcycling. He thoroughly explained an demonstrated each training exercise and helped all the students through our trouble spots to make sure we understood and could perform each exercise before moving to the next. It was a fun and rewarding experience and i left with much more confidence to ride.

Fantastic experience: Rob's the man. If you're feeling nervous, don't be. Rob's a great teacher and he'll walk you through the fundamentals step by step. Definitely worth it if you want to feel confident and safe on the road.

Evan Wilcox 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I could not be happier with my experience at the Austin Moto Academy, Buda location. Vince is THE MAN! He had such a great, relaxed teaching style that worked well for myself and all of my classmates. There were a few students that struggled in the beginning, but we all ended up passing thanks to Vince's ability to understand and adapt to each students way of learning. I'm actually a little sad that the course is over because I had so much fun. The variety of bikes was also a huge plus. I didn't think I'd like a sport bike, but my mind was changed after piloting a well loved Honda CBR 300 for the duration of the course. If you are on the fence, just sign up, you are going to love it! - Evan

Fantastic experience: Big shout out to rob he is a great guy an awesome coach he explains so well on how to do the course and control the bike better would really recommend anyone to rob at austin Moto

SarahNicole Creates - Photo & Video 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: As a 10 year+ rider, I forgot to select renew for my m1 endorsement in CA. I didn’t realize this was missing until I moved to Texas. Last time I took this course I was 16 I braced myself for a long, monotonous weekend of riding but my predictions were pleasantly proven wrong when greeted by ridercoach, Rob. As a former childcare taker, I was amazed by Robs inclusive teaching style, engaging personality, and extensive knowledge. This made the learning experience fun! And what happens when we have fun and feel safe? We retain information better I would highly recommend ridercoach Rob as your instructor. Even if you’ve been riding for a while, this course is incredible to take again with him. I’ll be back for the advanced course PS photo is NOT how I ride. (All the gear, all the time!!)

Justin Nguyen 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I had a chance to take a class with Rob and another class with Amanda. Two very competent instructors. Rob kept things loose and entertaining. They’ll both work with you to make sure you have a good grasp on each of the skills in the course. Amanda was very knowledgeable and patient, and not to mention easy on the eyes. One bit of advice, if you’re an absolute newbie with no experience at all on a bike, like myself, this class will teach you the fundamentals and get you started, but it won’t transform you into an expert rider in a 2 day course, it’s impossible. I would suggest renting a bike before or after to practice the MSF skill exercises, which you can find the cone setup online. I used a little shop in Pflugerville called DBB Powersports. They’ll drop off and pick up a bike in a nearby parking lot by the hour. Practice, practice, practice.

Mohammed Ali 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Rob's class. He is very approachable, fun person and teaches with great patience. I had a limited riding experience going in but came out with a much better riding knowledge and confidence. Rob is very passionate about riding so it is not just a job for him and it shows in his teaching.

Raoul Freeze 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I enrolled into a Basic Rider class with Rob due to past google reviews and he certainly didn't disappoint. His knowledge was 1st rate and teaching skills were the same. He presented a wealth of knowledge and did a great job in making it stick. He did so in a way that was both entertaining and fun. I saw him spend extra time with those who were needing it and every one of them came back all smiles at our breaks. Great couple of days and well worth the time spent.

Gary Martinez 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Had alot a fun, Rob has alot of experience and patience. I learned some valuable skills.

Margaret Hanson 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I loved everything about this course! I came into it not knowing anything about how to ride a motorcycle. My instructor, Rob, worked with us as a class to go through the basics in small bites, so we could gain skills and confidence. He took time to work with someone individually if they were struggling with something, and he told plenty of fun stories to help us relax and grasp concepts. I highly recommend Rob and the Austin Moto Academy!

Deandre Dorlean 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: And the award for best and most influential Rider Coach goes to? …..Coach Rob! -Long review alert- I came into the class without any rider experience (All I showed up with was strong faith and confidence). However, Coach Rob took that and coupled it with his easy going nature and really became a resource. Staying open to any and all questions through our course. I am sure of it that he used that information in his approach of hearing us while encouraging us along; Connecting with each myself and the other students rather it be through demonstrating the maneuvers or just checking in on us with a brief “Your doing great!” Or “You okay/good?” With intentionality and grace. The entire class was exceptional and our coach world class. If you want to learn to ride safely with confidence and know you’re in the presence of a coach who truly cares about your journey I stand by Coach Rob. Super appreciative of Austin Moto Academy and our Coach. Cue the graduation music because WE MADE IT!!!!!!

Ally Hardgrave 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t recommend Austin Moto Academy more. Rob was an excellent instructor that made us laugh and really gave us all the confidence to truly progress and pass our exam. Miles the owner was lovely to chat with, as was Vince. This is a welcoming environment and perfect for anyone who has ever wanted to learn how to ride or to begin their journey with riding. Thanks AMA!

kuro neko hausu 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I took the beginner course with Rob and highly recommend it--he's humorous, encouraging, and incredibly knowledgeable. It was nice that he let us try different types of bikes too. The structure of the MSF course is a ton to fit into one weekend if you've really never been on a bike, but I'm not talented at all and still made it through somehow. The communications leading up to the course were really thorough too, which helped with the stress.

Alexandria Lyall 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I took the two day beginners course with Vince and a lovely group of riders. I had never ridden a motorcycle before and he made it so comfortable, rewarding and informative. Couldn't have asked for a better teacher, truly. It was such a great experience, I highly recommend this class, with Vince as an instructor specifically. Thank you so much Vince!

Sierra Goodwin 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I took the class with Rob this weekend and he was absolutely amazing! He made the class extremely fun, and the way he presented the concepts and lessons was easy to understand.

Gabriella Bryan 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: If you get a chance to do this training with Rob, he’s an incredible instructor! Not only is he very well educated with decades of experience, but he is also quite understanding of all skill levels. He made every individual in our class feel comfortable and confident to start riding motorcycles for the first time. He was funny, engaging and just an overall kind and warm human. Rob really made the whole experience at Austin Moto Academy exceptional! I’m super stoked to be able to finally ride a motorcycle. ️ As a woman taking a class that would typically be viewed as more of a “man’s sport” , I was treated as an equal the entire time and was made to feel welcomed and part of a mini motorcycle family with the rest of the class. Can’t recommend this academy more highly as a top choice for anyone looking to learn to ride for the first time, brush up on their skills or take their existing skills to the next level and become an advanced rider. Thank you Rob & Austin Moto Academy!!! ️

Josh Bordovsky 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: As a first time rider, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience taking the Basic Rider Course at Austin Moto Academy. I have nothing but positive things to say about my instructor, Rob Carpenter - he was very professional, knowledgeable, patient, and concise in all of his directions.

Hunter Grissom 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: So grateful for Rob at Austin Moto Academy. He made learning the fundamentals of motorcycling a blast, and I can’t wait to return for more advanced courses in the future. The entire staff is knowledgeable and passionate, and Miles, the owner, made sure to greet us on day two and offered some words of encouragement before our riders exam. Rob was also quick to point out areas of growth in different moto skills and made sure to address any room for improvement 1:1 so that no one was left behind or confused. I can’t recommend his course enough! I definitely felt a sense of community in the academy and know they will be a great resource in the future.

Emily Cohen 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I am so glad I finally took the plunge and did the beginner riders course. My riding coach Vince was awesome. He made me feel really comfortable after having a few unsuccessful rides on my scooter at home. My classmates were encouraging and friendly with each other which was an added bonus. I appreciate all the practice I got over the weekend and am feeling more confident to ride on my own.

Alastair Hardin 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Had a fun time with the class, would recommend it to anyone who doesn’t know how to ride or to anyone looking to become a safer more skilled rider. Rob was our instructor and he was very clear calm and patient. Shared some great advice. Miles the owner came out and took time to talk with us about our experiences & goals. Will be looking into the intermediate class. Thanks

Fantastic experience: Adding another 5-star review to the collection. Had an awesome time at Austin Moto Academy. Vince was a great instructor!

Clif Smith 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Rob was a great instructor! I hadn't ridden a motorcycle in close to 40 years. Rob was able to easily break up the class into easy-to-absorb chunks such that I ended the class with not just a certificate but a much clearer understanding of not just what I should be doing but why. At the end of the course, I felt much more confident and had a great weekend.

Nickole SA 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Wow! It was an incredible experience! I loved how professional the instructor Arsenio was. He focuses a lot on practice which is great for the learning process. As a girl, I think we have a lot of prejudices about taking these types of courses thinking that there will only be men. My advice, don’t be afraid and go for your dreams, it's worth the experience, plus, it was a veeeery fun time.

Victoria Rivera 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Came with no prior motorcycle skills and learned so much in this course that I was able to pass the test as well as the rest of my class. Rob was a wonderful instructor and the class had a very welcoming energy that was perfect to learn an intimidating new skill in. I highly highly highly recommend this class.

Eric Henley 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Amazing school, owner, and instructor. First off the owner Miles took care of me and helped to support a problem Oklahoma had with the certificate. He went above and beyond to get me a certificate they would accept while I was on leave back home. The course was well ran and comfortable. Jimmy the instructor was amazing at teaching every skill. He took me from no experience to feeling comfortable on a bike. I still need more practice but I have the foundations to continue to practice on my own. I will absolutely be taking more advanced courses with the school. If want someone who will take care of you before, during, and after your course look no further than Austin Moto Academy.

Steven Katsohirakis 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had an awesome time at Austin Moto Academy. I'm very late in posting this (I did the course in the spring), but working with Rob was honestly such a fun weekend. I went from being timid of being on a motorcycle to having a lot of confidence for the future (as well as comfortably learning how to handle a clutch for bikes as well as cars). Working with him made me see how motorcycles are fun, while still respecting the bike. I'd highly recommend Rob and Austin Moto Academy for anybody even remotely interested in learning to ride.

Thank you Jimmy for your hard work in your profession, and going over the things I never thought of and more.

Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed the Basic Rider course with Rob. The instructors provided water and gear, which I appreciated. The lessons were thoughtfully designed with breaks. Rob was good about watching every student and providing useful feedback on how to improve.

John Stringer 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Can't emphasize enough how great of an instructor Rob is. He goes by the book, but he makes the experience enjoyable and has a story for everything. I came in with absolutely zero experience and by day two was feeling comfortable on a bike all thanks to Rob. If you're thinking you might enjoy a motorcycle but are worried or anxious about it because it's entirely new and seems complicated then 100% take this class. Rob has got your back and you'll know you're all set to start riding and keep learning.

I had no previous motorcycle experience and learned a lot from this course and was able to pass the course. Rob is very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the subject matter and is a good instructor.

Joseph Pallante 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Austin Moto Academy delivered an outstanding motorcycle course. Our instructor, Vince, was personable, knowledgeable, and made the class an absolute joy. Our group of six, with varying experience levels, all passed. Even as a seasoned rider, I was surprised by how much more I learned from Vince's guidance while obtaining my Class M license. Despite the unrelenting heat, this course was a rewarding and enjoyable experience. Highly recommended for anyone seeking to enhance their motorcycling skills!

Gabriel Brown 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this academy! Your experience with this coaching staff will be worth every penny. Rob is a great teacher and clearly wants success in all his students and values the enjoyment and thrill of riding motorcycles, all while emphasizing the need for safety. I will be recommending this class to all future riders I come across.

Fantastic experience: I enjoyed my time with Austin Moto Academy class (San Antonio meeting). I never have ridden a cycle, so I was very nervous about the whole situation until I got to the location. The two days that were spent at the academy opened my eyes on how important it is to know the “rules of the road” when it comes to riding a motorcycle. Our instructor, Arsenio, was extremely patient with our group. I can honestly say that neither one of us in the group (6 of us) knew even how to turn-on a motorcycle, but Arsenio took his time to guide us to begin to understand the fundamentals of mastering the cycle. I enjoyed the specific details that Arsenio expected us to master to make sure that we ourselves avoid any accidents. I feel that with the training that was provided, I can safely begin practicing on my own cycle. I recommend Austin Moto Academy to anyone who would like to learn the fundamentals of riding a motorcycling, even if just to ride a bike. It has been a great investment, at least for me, to learn as much as possible on the elements on successfully handling a cycle.

Fantastic experience: Our class instructor Rob was a fantastic teacher. He provided a great experience and safe environment to learn everything needed to become proficient and safe with the bikes.

Fantastic experience: Rob was our coach for the weekend beginners class. I went into it with zero motorcycle experience, only knowing how to ride a bicycle. Rob was patient with me, and made it fun. I highly recommend taking Rob’s MSF class.

Fantastic experience: Had Rob recommend to me by a few of my buddies, scheduled a class and had a great time. I've been riding dirtbikes for a long time but Rob still taught me quite a few things about how to be safe and smart riding on the road. Couldn't more highly recommend Austin Moto Academy and Rob as an instructor! Planning on coming back for an intermediate course here soon

Fantastic experience: My girlfriend and I signed up to take this class together so that we could get a scooter, but we decided to take the class on motorcycles for the experience. We both went in with very little motorcycle knowledge, but Rob was amazing at teaching us and installing confidence in our abilities. We would both highly recommend classes with him, he was awesome! We now have a new found respect for motorcycles and will probably even get one in the future. Wasn't the plan going in but class was that fun and useful!

Fantastic experience: AMA was a great experience both on a learning level and also in a lot of other ways. Not only did I feel encouraged by the instructor who taught my class, but I also felt like the group of people that I took the basic rider class with was a great group; we all wanted to see each other achieve our certifications. There was a time and place during the experience for laughing and joking around with one another, as well as a time to be serious and pay attention and I felt like it led to a camaraderie amongst us that I was not expecting. I took the basic rider class over a span of two days with Rob, who was patient, thorough and never once made me feel like I was dumb no matter how many questions I asked him. My husband also took Rob's intermediate class and enjoyed that for the same reasons. I would recommend AMA to anyone looking to be certified and also highly recommend taking basic-rider/intermediate class with Rob as your instructor! Thank you AMA and thank you kindly Rob!

Fantastic experience: I came here because I needed to renew my M license. Had a great time during the 8 scenarios and final assessments. Rob is pretty straight forward explaining and then showing you how to do it, impossible to fail. Had a great time with my Intermediate class teammates. Bring snacks and lunch, you'll have a few brakes under the shade.

Fantastic experience: What a great experience training with Robb. Some people are “born teachers”, and Robb is one of those people. He kept it fun and relaxed but also we knew the seriousness of motorcycle training. So glad I chose Austin Moto Academy!

Fantastic experience: As a beginner with absolutely zero experience on a motorcycle, this class was an absolute blast. Vince was knowledgeable and patient with everyone in the class (who were all beginners like me). He applied real-world skills, tips and tricks that significantly improved my riding ability within a few hours. Also, the entire class ended up passing the course! I loved that the facility had it's own dedicated paved practice area; you weren't sharing a parking lot with a high school or crowded business. I would recommend Austin Moto Academy (and Vince) to anyone looking to dive into this hobby. 10/10

Fantastic experience: If you want to start riding then this is the place to be and Rob is the one you should choose. He is passionate about teaching others to ride and does an excellent job helping out the new riders understand why he is teaching a specific skill. The great thing is he does a demo of the skill then everyone does it. The test process was not stressful and he made the students feel comfortable. Go with Rob and you won't be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: I've actually been riding for many years but when a friend asked me if I would go with her to take the basic MSF course, I thought to myself that it would be good to re-learn some basic skills. Rob was our instructor and he did a great job leading us through the course. I would highly recommend this course to anyone!

Gabriel Pryor 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Took my basic MSF with Rob. I'm sure the other instructors at this school are great as well but I'd highly recommend Rob, in particular. Deep knowledge and experience from multiple decades of riding. He's very serious about your rider knowledge and skills development while being jovial and very personable. Thanks AMA, and thanks Rob!

Avery Delamar 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: ROB, ROB, ROB. Dude rocks! Very patient with people and fun. Made my entire group feel welcome and we had a blast learning. Did the intro class with zero time spent on a bike before and left feeling very confident that I had the tools necessary to keep learning from their course here. I can't recommend enough to new riders! Thanks again Rob!

Fantastic experience: My son and I both recently took the course in the San Antonio location. The class was well organized and presented. Our instructor, Jimmy, was first class all the way. Offered valuable insight from his considerable experience and had a positive, upbeat attitude the entire class. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: 5 stars! I had the lucky opportunity of Rob and Vince being my instructors. They were both very personable and thorough with each exercise. On day one I fell off my bike and sprained my arm, lol. I contacted the owner and he got back with me promptly and allowed me to come back the following weekend to complete the class since there was an open spot. I went from knowing jack about how to even turn on a bike to feeling confident in the very basics of how to operate a motorcycle. If I passed than you can too. I highly recommend Austin Moto Academy. If you’re thinking about taking the MSF course, take it here and you’ll have no regrets. You will definitely still need to practice a bunch though after the course Thank you guys a future biker woman has been born✌️

Fantastic experience: I took the basic intro class with Jonathan and thought he was a great instructor. He doesn't have any reviews at this location cause he previously taught in San Antonio. If you can take the course with him I highly recommend it. He has a lot of riding experience and I found his teaching style helpful. He took time to explain the reasons behind what we were doing and not just how to ride. Also he's just kind of funny which made the course go by quickly. Anyway the place is great. Everyone I interacted with was helpful and friendly. They even offered me an extra jacket when there was a chance of rain. The class was fun and I learned a lot of new skills. Now I have a lot more confidence as a rider. Thanks guys!
