Ride Arizona Motorcycle Training Centers

Fantastic experience: Excellent instruction very personable teaching style. I saw students who have never ridden before pass the class with ease.Good learning environment for any skill level. Cant wait to take the next level class

Fantastic experience: Extremely patient with the new riders. Willing to show you step by step everything you need to know about how to be safe and confident while riding.

Fantastic experience: Class was absolutely amazing! Steve was a great instructor & very informational

Fantastic experience: Best hands on class I've taken. Jokes were cracked, explanations were thorough and the hands on demonstration was even better. I highly recommend this course, guarantee to pass

Fantastic experience: The Class was a super fun learning experience overall and the teachers were super helpful!!

Fantastic experience: Great direction and demonstrations

Fantastic experience: Very helpful and informative. Extremely glad I went and accomplished a goal. Excellent instructors!

Fantastic experience: Excellent teachers, ask for Trina!

Fantastic experience: Great for people who have ridden a motorcycle a little bit or even not at all. I’ve never ridden before in my life and now I have my motorcycle license in two easy days.

Fantastic experience: Had an amazing time. The instructors work with you and makes learning to ride a motorcycle easy

Positive experience: Took the course over the weekend and Steve was amazing. Not sure if Trina was having a bad weekend because I had a hard time focusing and relaxing with her teaching style. I learned a lot though and had a lot of fun.

Fantastic experience: Attended the BRC this weekend with Trina and Steve as our riding coaches at their new facility on Valencia and Kolb. Had a good time and learned a lot. Coaches were very knowledgeable. The cost of the course was well worth what you get out of it. Would definitely recommend and plan on attending their other courses.

Fantastic experience: Steve and Trina. Great instructors. A must take course for any new rider.

Fantastic experience: Had an awesome time really good people

Fantastic experience: Great Course. Hard to fail

Fantastic experience: Amazing course, came in with zero experience and aced the evaluation. Really great instructor.

Fantastic experience: Did the BRC with John and he's a very knowledgeable instructor, I learned alot of information; honestly this course is well worth the money. It sets you up for a true riding.. plus its a great time

Fantastic experience: John was my instructor and was a great guy and mentor taught me everything I know and how to be safe on a motorcycle

Fantastic experience: Just took the course. The coach was John. Absolutely a worthwhile course. John was great and made the experience very enjoyable. It gave me the confidence to maneuver where I was hesitant before. I definitely recommend this course for new riders or even people such as myself who paused riding for a while.

Fantastic experience: I just completed (and passed!) the 2-day Basic Rider Course this weekend. Steve was my Rider Coach and he was the absolute BEST!! I am brand new to riding and couldn't believe he actually had us riding within the first hour (probably even less)!! He was so positive and encouraging, but knew when to offer one-on-one feedback/coaching to help you improve your skills as well. He kept the pace quick, but also offered plenty of break/rest periods so that we could get a drink, use the restroom, etc. He took advantage of that time to share stories about his experiences riding - there's a lesson in everything! I was fortunate to have a very small class (only 4 people) so we got plenty of time to hone our skills & get individualized coaching, and we managed to put around 15 miles on our bikes this weekend in what's essentially a very large parking lot. We used the time well and got lots of practice. As the only female in attendance, I'm happy to report that Steve treated me exactly the same as my classmates & held me to the same standards. It wasn't intimidating at all. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone!! Be prepared to complete approx. 5 hours of an online e-course ahead of time though, which helps you to prepare and is referenced routinely throughout the course. It was helpful to get that out of the way ahead of time so that we could get right on the bikes at the start of day 1.

Fantastic experience: I attended the BRC cause with Trina as the instructor over a weekend. RAMTC has a good selection of bikes for different riders, and what I preferred was a dedicated purpose built course. Trina's approach to instruction is very open and is supportive of new riders, having seen some fellow students that have never ridden before be able to complete the BRC cause test without fail. Even as an experienced rider it was good to go "back to basics" and would recommend this as a refresher for anyone getting back into riding after a hiatus. The facility is purpose built, and once the office is constructed will be an amazing facility to do further training at, but the current morning schedule makes training in summer acheivable.

Fantastic experience: Took this course with Trina and John as the instructors, over the weekend. It was a wonderful intoductory course, that will teach you the basics and the confidence to start riding. They gave great instructions and provided feedback after every lesson that helps you grow as a new bike rider. I thoroughly enjoyed this course and definitely recommend it for anyone that wants to learn how to ride a motorcycle.

Fantastic experience: I took this safety course over this last weekend, and absolutely loved it. Steve and John were the riding coaches for my group. They both were phenomenal coaches sharing their knowledge and skill including when and where they've had to use those skill on a day to day basis riding. Both of them were super patient teaching us what we needed to learn during these 2 day. It did matter if it was the first time on a bike or an experienced rider. Steve and John were there to teach us how to safely ride on our streets and break out bad habits. They both did an absolute stellar job. Also Steve has one of the best laughs I've ever heard.

Fantastic experience: These dudes make learning to ride a motorcycle a piece of cake! They’re hilarious and competent! I’m a much more confident rider than I thought I would be! I’m glad they corrected my “bad habits” as soon as they saw them. Today, they have produced yet another safe rider on the road! I highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: John and Trina were great. Straight to the point and direct. Questions were always answered with instruction to get better. In all honesty the pre class online portion was long and boring…. But being able to just jump on the bikes and practice In person made up for it for me!!!

Fantastic experience: I took the class about a week ago, and boy was it one of the most fun things I've done. Steve was my ridercoach and he absolutely killed it, he was great at instructions, great at telling you what you're doing wrong and then helping you fix it (that's a big one) and he is reassuring, I think he gave more compliments than anything which helps with confidence a bunch! Overall a fantastic experience, with a fantastic rider coach. My only complaint was the heat, but that's on me. Now I just need my own ride and I'm all set! Thank you Ride Arizona!

Fantastic experience: Both my husband and I took this course. A weekend apart and both of us had John as our instructor. I have nothing but an outstanding review for this course. John was an amazing instructor. I had no riding experience and he was kind, and very helpful. I learned so much about motorcycle safety and not only how to perform the correct ways to ride but why it is important to do it those ways. John made the class fun and exciting but made sure we learned everything possible within two days. I definitely felt more comfortable and confident after this course. I have been and will continue to recommend this MSF course in practicer to anyone who is interested in ether learning to ride or is an wants to expand their knowledge. Thank you Ride Arizona. And also thank you to John's wife for sharing him with us on mothers day so we could learn from the best instructor.

Fantastic experience: I did the Basic Ridercourse at Ride Arizona MTC, and had an overall very positive experience. Trina and John were good teachers and this course increased my riding skill greatly. All my questions were answered and the coaches did their best to ensure everyone was learning, and that the group stayed on track. When someone made an honest mistake or failed an exercise the coaches made sure to get that person up to speed. The coaches only got frustrated when a rider didn't follow, or missed a detail in the directions. The sessions ended early on both days, with the main focus of the course on completing the pre-planned BRC exercises. That being said nothing felt rushed. The entire course took place on a private paved lot near Valencia and Kolb. I believe everyone in my class passed the MSF evaluation, and was given an endorsement voucher to take to the DMV. If you're doing the BRC course, look into the AMSAF scholarship. This can reduce your cost greatly, but there are conditions you must meet. Additionally, if you pass the course you may be given a set of coupons you can use to purchase riding gear. They have loaner helmets available to take the course, some full face some open face, in a good range of sizes. The bikes available were all in the 200-300cc range, with a variety of styles. There were supermoto 250s, one gsxr250, a couple naked style bikes and a couple cruiser bikes. They were all in fine, working condition. Some riders were assigned first based on height, but most were left to choose.

Fantastic experience: John was a great instructor with real world practical advice, th site was well maintained and at an easy pace to follow. Overall i will recommend to all riders looking for a good class new and old

Fantastic experience: Trina was an amazing instructor. We were a small group of five and she gave all of us detailed instructions and the reality of riding. I went on day one without ever riding a motorcycle and not even knowing how to shift and finished the course. Thank you RideAz!

Fantastic experience: John was an incredible coach. They fostered a great learning environment that was completely open and stress free. When they say that all you need to know is how to ride a bicycle they are right. Go in with an open mind and you'll learn valuable skills, get your license, and have a bunch of fun

Negative experience: If possible would give 0 starts. Took this class last weekend and got kicked out for stalling. Trina did nothing but scream and cuss at you. Someone with that much anger issues shouldn’t be trainer. We go there to learn to ride a bike and being yelled at when learning something new makes it challenging. When my bf asked her why she not teaching me she said she isn’t a teacher and I would have to learn on my own. Paid over 300 to take this class to LEARN how to ride a bike, and got nothing but yelled at and kicked off the property. Definitely wouldn’t recommend this class to anyone unless they change out the instructors.

Fantastic experience: Great teachers. Seem rough at first but they’re fantastic at what they do and the environment is very welcoming. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to learn how to ride

Fantastic experience: Ride Arizona exceeded my expectations ten fold. Literally, and I mean literally, rain or shine Steve and John will do everything they can to help you pass the class. They’re both wonderful instructors with great personalities. I would honestly take the course again just for the experience. I wish I had photos but it was DOWN POURING and my phone was in the car. THANK YOU RIDE ARIZONA, and thank you Steve and John.

Fantastic experience: Great instructors, great course

Fantastic experience: Went into this course with 0 riding experience. The coaches did an extremely good job getting us thru the basics and getting us riding safely.

Fantastic experience: Great coaches, very welcoming and knowledgeable people.

Fantastic experience: Steve was great! A patient instructor who isn’t overbearing. A great learning environment and everyone passed! I was able to bring my R3.

Fantastic experience: Take the class! This well-designed course is wonderfully effective for new riders—I even know a few seasoned motorcyclists who have taken the course and gotten something out of it. Steve and John were professional, knowledgeable and charmingly amiable coaches for our class. If the price of the course is an issue for you, there are options. Organizations like the 520 Moto Alliance provide scholarships for riders to attend classes like this one. It's worth it—thank you, Steve and John!

Fantastic experience: Awesome experience with great instructors. If you’re trying to get your motorcycle license and learn to ride safely, this is worth the money.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful instructors and definitely worth the experience for a novice rider

Fantastic experience: Really good course for someone who never rode a motorcycle before. They teach you a lot of theory and real world scenarios that can save your life. Stories from the instructors provide an example on why some techniques are crucial and why you should keep practicing them after the course. 10/10 will recommend to anyone. J & S the best instructors!

Fantastic experience: Safe atmosphere and great coaching. Would take the next level trainings and recommend to any first time riders.

Fantastic experience: Great course! The instructors were awesome, helpful, and made it fun with their humor. Highly recommend taking this course if you want to ride.

Fantastic experience: Had a great time with Steve as our instructor during the week. Small class which was perfect to get plenty of riding for the exercises. Steve was patient with everyone regardless of experience and I really enjoyed his teachings. I will be back again for the advanced courses too.

Fantastic experience: I recently completed the Basic Rider Course in Jan ‘23. I had zero experience prior to attending the course. Ride Arizona MTC were very professional and answer all my questions. Moreover, I left with quite a few tools that I can use to continue learning and improving my riding skills. This your start point to riding.

Fantastic experience: Great Basic Ride Course to take. I really appreciated the level of commitment that the instructors have to training people that are wanting to learn to ride motorcycles. The online-course also was not only informative, but allowed the class to jump right into the hands on portion, that happened be a lot of fun. I look forward to taking the Advanced course at a later date.

Negative experience: I purchased a ticket for my daughter who is 28 years old. She had never ridden a motorcycle before, and that is why I chose this class. They boast on there website that if you have never ridden a bike before that they will teach you. They also state after you pay for the class that if it rains they will reschedule or refund you. Today I took her to the class and 15 minutes in it started raining, and every other rider in the class had at least some prior experience on a motorcycle, some of them had been riding for several decades. It was not a class for a person who has never ridden before. They were pushy and even told her she was holding up the other students. By the time my daughter gave up she was crying because she was expected to accelerate and perform maneuvers in the rain after an hour and a half of riding. I called after I got my daughter calmed down and asked if they would allow my daughter to reschedule her classes for 3 to 6 months from now so I could properly teach her the basics and I was told no that she would have to pay again. , Very poorly operated business I will be filing with the attorney general's office, and the better business bureau. Buyer beware. I was there and watched the whole class. Those other students for sure had some prior experience on motorcycles. Your reply to this doesn't make me feel better you forced my daughter to ride in the rain or fall the course. You told he she would have to retake the course based on he riding after an hour or so into the course. You were rude to me and my father, and I have already filed a complaint with the better business bureau, and Monday will be filing another with the attorney general's office. I gave you the option of just letting her take the course over on a day that the weather was better and she was less afraid and you refused. You should really change you we I look forward to seeing you in court bsibefore you get someone hurt.i look forward to seeing you in court .

Fantastic experience: Great course! The were very helpful and gave great coaching tips to help become familiar with the skills needed to ride a motorcycle with confidence.

Fantastic experience: As a self-taught rider with over 3 years of experience outside of the US, I decided to get my endorsement while back in Arizona. While I was confident that I had the skill set to pass the ADOT test, I made the wiser decision to enroll in Ride Arizona's Basic Riding Course. It was a great decision and one I would recommend to anyone looking for their first time instruction, or to anyone that has never gone through a formal course. Steve and his team helped me to break down the things I was already doing on a bike, and to enforce my good decisions, and help me improve where I fell short. Not to mention you get to spend a few days riding some bikes and meeting new, amazing people!

Fantastic experience: Great course for 1st time riders. The coaches were extremely knowledgeable and patient. Well paced, easy understandable material & instructions throughout the entire curriculum. I HIGHLY recommend this course/class to anyone who’s thinking about learning how to ride or want to brush up on their basics! A++

Fantastic experience: Trina and John are great instructors. She has a no BS personality. She will make you into a safe rider, but you need to be prepared to learn and pay attention. The MSF classes are fast paced and you need to be focused 100% of the time to succeed. I also recommend that you complete the online classroom portion BEFORE attending the riding portion. It’s a lot easier on yourself that way.

Negative experience: If they had a 1% starr that will be star for Street Legal AZ . Trina was very rude to me she was suppose to train me how to drive a car instead she was screaming at me yelling at me she made me very uncomfortable and nervous that she actuallymade me cry. And she went to clean her car at Mister Car wash, She had lunch at Arby's and she went To buy herself a sweet candy bar ALL ON MY TIME when She was suppose to be teaching me how to drive . I never experienced such an unprofessional coach, trainer . She even told me her personal business i was suppose to be focus on learning how to drive SMH.I paid 764.00 and she said she will be there at 2:30pm in afternoon she came at 11:15 am. She only train me for one day which was a nightmare and she said she's only giving back half my money for one day she train me 382.00 she staying with SMH. I DO NOT RECOMMEND HER TO NO ONE SHES VERY VERY UNPROFESSIONAL AND RUDE.....

Fantastic experience: All the Rider Coaches were amazing here. Special shoutout to Trina, the no nonsense make sure you understand what I'm saying trainer here. She made you understand what to do and gave it to you straight, no BS. You guys are amazing keep it up!

Fantastic experience: Excellent training! Steve and Ben were great instructors. I highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn the right way to ride a motorcycle.

Fantastic experience: Loved taking this class! The RiderCoaches were some of the most informative people I have ever met. From how to properly mount to learning have to safely maneuver a motorcycle. Meeting awesome new fellow riders was amazing as well l. They became more than just someone else taking a class and we all grew and learned something new together. I would highly recommend taking this class. You won't regret it! All 3 coaches made the BRC course an amazing experience. From tips and tricks to personal experiences on the road. You will learn everything you need to get you started on a motorcycle. I already told a couple of my friends about the class and I'm fairly certain they'll take it! Thanks to everyone who was there! Both coaches and fellow new riders for making this a one in a lifetime experience and a memory to keep in the books.

Fantastic experience: Having absolutely no prior riding experience beyond a bicycle, entering the world of motorcycles was entirely overwhelming. Thanks to Trina and her crew I not only learned valuable riding skills, but developed the confidence required to ride comfortably. Every aspect of this course is designed to help educate new riders such as myself. Because of this course I went from no knowledge, to knowing more than I'd get from just buying a motorcycle and riding on my own. I sincerely thank everyone at Ride Arizona for their knowledge and experience. I highly recommend this course to new riders or anyone interested in jumping into the world of motorcycles. Thanks again you guys, I'll see you out there.

Positive experience: Steve, Trina, and the other riding coaches were great. Lots of ride time, instruction, and constructive feedback. They made it fun and engaging which made the time pass easily and stress less. Would recommend to experienced and new riders alike as there is always something to be learned from others riders. Plus the red is no negatives to taking the class only positives.

Fantastic experience: staff was amazing, they made the course easy to understand. If you are even thinking about riding a motorcyle i would highly recomend taking this course, our group had people of all riding levels and everyone passed due to the excelent teaching. if you need any help they will take the time to go though it with you step by step. Also if you think it will be a formal book work kinda course you would be wrong, it was mostly building on skills, riding motorcyles and learning the foundation to be a good motocyclist.

Fantastic experience: Steve and Ben, they were really really good Rider Coaches. Professional, understanding, empathetic, and very patient with each and every student. The course was helpful in building skills to help with every day scenario’s. I would highly recommend this class for anyone looking to start riding.

Fantastic experience: This place was absolutely amazing and I learned so much and had a really fun time!!!

Fantastic experience: Steve and Ben were my speed. Steve in particular helped me learn how to go from knowing nothing about riding to having enough of a foundation to do the rest of the work on my own, safely. The guy can teach in a way that accepts the reality that when learning, mistakes happen, without diminishing your confidence. This helped me keep my head clear so that I could keep learning and building skills. A more direct, firm, and less forgiving rider coach could shut that learning process down by diminishing confidence only leading to more errors. That’s not how Steve or Ben taught me. The first day was the hardest for me but when I went home I watched videos and read articles (even found a couple videos by a RideAZ MTC coach) that really helped. A lightbulb came on thanks to the day’s training and my self-study (I took my kid’s bike out and practiced a slalom with my HEAD UP) and I was able to apply that the second day. I will keep practicing before I head out on Hwy 191 ;) but I’m very grateful for the skills I gained in this course. Well taught, thank you!

Fantastic experience: Very fun and exciting course. Really good for beginner riders too. Everyone was extremely patient and understanding. Riding coaches were awesome!!

Fantastic experience: Enjoyed learning with them. Very patient and understanding with the students. Completely worth it.

Fantastic experience: Outstanding, patient, energetic, fun, and knowledgeable instructors, valuable feedback, relevant material. Our daughter really enjoyed the BRC and found the material to be helpful with driving a car in addition to riding a motorcycle. She's been riding dirt bikes since age 5, but she learned a ton of great information in this course and had so much fun! I highly recommend this comprehensive course to anyone desiring to ride on the street.

Negative experience: I was responsible for paying the basic rider course for my employee since we require a motorcycle license for our new project. She have been working in our company for the past 6 years and never saw her that upset. She was yelled at by the owner and continuously been degraded. I know she has never been on a motorcycle before but she took that course to learn, not to be yelled at and expected to know how to ride. I definitely won’t register her again since I never want my employees to feel disrespected.

Fantastic experience: Awesome class, if you are walking in willing to learn you will have a great time. Steve is the MAN! I feel way more confident in my riding and these guys really care about teaching you how to be a safe rider.

Fantastic experience: This class was so much fun and so worth it!! I feel so much more comfortable and confident in my abilities and knowledge!! I would have loved a little more information on lane positions and how to choose them in person, but the book covers them pretty well. Highly recommended!!! Steve and Nick were so helpful and knowledgeable!!

Fantastic experience: Great instructors that balanced fun with knowledge.

Fantastic experience: Trina was great! Very knowledgeable, fair but firm with her direction. I would definitely reccomend her class to anyone thinking about becoming a rider, in fact I'm thinking about signing up for her advanced riders group

Fantastic experience: Had a great time! Very informative, definitely worth the investment to learn how to ride. Steve and Joe were fantastic. Never made you feel about messing about always positive and upbeat. I never thought learning how to ride again would be such a good time. Would highly recommend anyone taking his class! Thanks again guys! I appreciate you and will be telling anyone of my friends who don’t know how to ride and want to learn to take your class!

Fantastic experience: I took this course last weekend with Trina and she is fantastic! We had fun but also learned the important basics of riding. If your thinking about taking this class do it! You won’t be disappointed. Trina and Her helped Jane really know their stuff. By the end of the class I felt confident enough to ride safely.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Ride Az...Instructors are awesome, Willing to help and very encouraging and Supportive. They make sure to make it fun while learning.

Fantastic experience: Trina and Bill are so much fun to work with and are very knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: I took two classes with team oregon when I lived there and failed both time because the rider coaches weren't giving me the information I needed and didn't answer my questions. But with ride arizona it was amazing the rider coaches gave me helpful advice and gave me confidence that I was doing well, I couldn't have been more happy with my experience.

Fantastic experience: It had been 15yrs or so since I had been on a motorcycle. Taking this course before getting back on a bike was a great idea, and a lot of fun too! I would recommend this course to anyone

Fantastic experience: Though I already had a Motorcycle Endorsement I took the Ride Arizona Motorcycle Course as a refresher and very glad that I did. Instruction was excellent, coaches fair with critique and training. I really enjoyed the class.

Fantastic experience: Fun and informative way to learn how to ride! Coaches make sure you understand the exercises before you attempt them. Safety is priority. I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn how to correctly ride a motorcycle!

Fantastic experience: Rider coaches are very knowledgeable and very helpful. They have no problem in breaking down their instructions to be easily understandable. I took the BRC-1 course not because I needed it to get my motorcycle endorsement (already had it from Alabama), but because I truly needed the help to learn how to ride. I bought my first motorcycle 2 months before I took the course and I was struggling learning just the basic stuff like clutch control. I have driven a manual transmission for several years, but still wasn’t getting the hang on it on the bike. After the class concluded, I went home and got my bike out. Within 5 minutes I had starting off on my bike without stalling down pat. I have every intention on continuing with the BRC-2 soon and then more courses; all will be with Ride Arizona.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend any beginner to take this course. I always try to pass it on to anyone even remotely interested in learning how to ride on two wheels. The instructors are great and are willing to work with everyone and get each person spun up. The course is designed to make you slightly uncomfortable as far as experiencing emergency braking and swerving maneuvers, but it’s crucial to experience it on a closed course than in real life instances on the street without having built up any muscle memory prior.

Fantastic experience: I took the course with my family and had an absolute blast. We were complete newbies to riding and learned a lot. The Rider Coaches are amazing, and I would definitely recommend Ride Arizona MTC to anyone interested in learning how to ride!!!

Fantastic experience: I went from knowing nothing about riding on two wheels to fully being confident on getting out on the roads! Instructors make sure you understand before moving on and help you out in your weak areas. Would definitely recommend for anyone interested in learning how to ride.

Fantastic experience: It was amazing! They were very knowledgeable and helpful in the process of learning to ride. I plan on going back to do the second basic course and the advanced rider course!

Fantastic experience: Place is awesome, Trina and Bill were awesome ride coaches. Possitive and fun experience. Would recomme d this class to anyone wanting to start to learn to ride.

Fantastic experience: I reserved judgement on the one negative comment here until I went this weekend (June 6th & 7th). But the place was very easy to get to using either GPS or just using the directions they give you in emails you get before the course. And considering how friendly and fun the people I met were, I highly doubt they berated or made fun of you for not understanding how to get there. Steve, Bill, and Rai (spelling?) were excellent Rider Coaches and made the entire class extremely relaxed and enjoyable. I was nervous until about 10 seconds after meeting them. Positive and extremely good learning experience all around. I will be recommending their classes to anyone I know who wants to learn how to ride in a relaxed and fun environment

Fantastic experience: Family centered owners who want to spread the joy and freedom of motorcycle riding by training all their students how to be safe and have fun while doing it. Absolutely love this company and have told all friends and family members that want to learn how to ride to go here over any other place.
