Ride 2 Ride Again

Fantastic experience: Expert teacher will have you feeling like a natural by the end of class

Fantastic experience: Learned so much on my first lesson and had a great time :D Thank you Ilyas!

Fantastic experience: I did 6 classes with Ilyas from October until recently. I can't recommend him enough. He helped me go from wobbling around in the motorcycle to picking up speed and knowing how to ride slow on a straight line with confidence. I felt like I could have used one or two more classes with him, but decided to take a leap and enroll in the riding safety course at Bartels' Harley. Because of everything I learned from Ilyas, I passed the riding course almost flawlessly. Best guy in town. It's worth the money!

Fantastic experience: Great to deal with and a good selection of bikes.

Negative experience: I wish I could give this guy (liyas) a zero yet that was not among the choices. I was so excited when I thought I found a convenient place to simply take a refresher course. NOT! Terrible attitude & very unprofessional from the start. This person seems hard-up for cash & enjoys insulting women. There is only one instructor (liyas) & the offerings mentioned via the website do not really exist. No wonder he asks for CASH as preferred payment. The map link that is sent to you once you confirm an appointment directs you to a parking lot on the southside & not an actual business address. Oooh weeee I'm so glad I canceled my booking. As an native born Californian I gotta say supporting this wack tiny business would be a grievous mistake. There are plenty of other motorcycle training vendors & business in LA that would appreciate, welcome & properly treat ALL potential customers. Don't waste your time or money. Beware & steer clear.

Fantastic experience: I recommend this class to any that is just starting out as a rider. I learned a lot from knowing nothing at all about bikes. Combining this with YouTube makes it easier to understand. Thanks!

Fantastic experience: Very good experience renting a bike there. Ilyas was here to help to the start until the end. The bike had already some miles but did the job very well for the roadtrip we did and we had no problems! (2500 km in one trip!) I recommend if you want to rent a motorbike to visit the surroundings. Ilyas is also a 2-wheel driving instructor. Do not hesitate I am sure that he will be able to accompany you.

Fantastic experience: Good people, excellent service. Unbeatable prices. I will definitely rent again.

Fantastic experience: I would say he is a great coach, he helped me a lot and made me feel calm and stress free. His way of teaching is great and makes you feel confident and he is very understanding. I highly encourage taking lessons from him.

Fantastic experience: Affordable rental prices, lovely people and was a wonder renting a motorcycle for a few days.

Fantastic experience: I've been riding since I was a teenager and I've had my motorcycle license for over 25 years. For a handful of years now, I have not had a motorcycle and I am planning to buy another one in the near future. I decided a refresher was a good idea but all the local courses I could find were for beginners and weren't a good fit for someone with experience looking to spend a few hours practicing and getting some tips from a seasoned teacher. Ilyas provided that service. We met in a Park and Pay location and for two hours he had me run through a number of basic exercises. My expectation was I'd simply be getting a quick refresher and be on my way - which would have been fine. The fun part of the training was Ilyas broke me of a bad habit I didn't even know I had. By then end of our time together not only was I completely comfortable riding again, but I also learned something new and was able to put it into immediate practice. I appreciated his teaching style, his constant feedback, and his focus on the details of my riding style. I recommend his service.

Fantastic experience: So far I've rented their fz07(2 times) and fz09 and every experience is great! There's no large deposit or extra fees, just pay for the day and off you go. I highly recommend them and they even lend you a helmet & jacket.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend using there bikes good people and service.

Fantastic experience: Excellent service!! Totally recommend!!!

Fantastic experience: In short words - Ilyas is an amazing, intelligent, respectful & very patient instructor, Will absolutely highly recommend him to my family & friends. After reading tons of amazing reviews I decided to give Ilyas a call & not to go to a group class training school & so glad that I did. I am 48 but really young at heart, last rode motorcycle 28 years ago & mostly rode 70 - 100cc small bikes so I had a fear of heavy sports bikes. I told Ilyas that I am in the process of purchasing a motorcycle & will like to get training on my motorcycle, Ilyas agreed to give me lesson on my motorcycle but suggested to use his instead coz incase if I drop it, I won't mess up my new bike & I felt that was really thoughtful of him & agreed to use his bike instead. Lesson day came & was I nervous. I told Ilyas that I want to learn like I never rode before & saw a smile on his face. Wow! did he make learning simple for me, every step was like crafted especially for me, from sitting on the bike to putting into first gear, riding, balancing, maneuvering, braking, relaxing, he made riding so simple & so much fun that by the end of 2 hours I was riding so relaxed with so much confidence & I was so full of joy, the only regret I had why I didn't call Ilyas 20 years ago. I had booked a haul trailer to bring my motorcycle back after I purchase it & it was about 140 miles away but instead I decided to ride it back & ride I did, about an hour on streets & the rest on freeway. I am really thankful to Ilyas for his amazing teaching skills & the care he puts into teaching, He taught me how to ride again. Anyone reading this, look no further & give him a call. Thank you Mr Ilyas.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I rented my motorcycle for take my dmv motorcycle skill test! People are friendly and professional

Fantastic experience: Very easy process

Fantastic experience: Had a great experience renting a motorcycle from them. Ilayas was very knowledgable and helpful. I will chose them again during my next visit on a summer time . Thank you Ride2ride again.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful place with a very nice collection of motorcycles. These guys are awesome as well so I would reccomend to everyone. Cheers and keep up the good work.

Fantastic experience: Very helpful. Passed my motorcycle test on short notice. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Best deal

Fantastic experience: Elijah is the greatest business owner I have spoke with, kind committed and a very nice guy

Fantastic experience: Great.

Fantastic experience: Rented 3 bikes (Rebel, Nighthawk, GW) for a full week and took back roads from LA to Sequoia National Park, Kings Canyon National Park, Yosemite National Park, San Francisco, and then back to LA. Owner was amazing to work with, and the overall experience was one of the best bike trips I have done.

Fantastic experience: Great place to rent a bike for the day. I rented one to pass the road test for my M1 License and couldn't be happier. Will definitely make sure people looking to get a bike for a day, or two, know about this place. Very friendly people.

Fantastic experience: I had a grat experience with this rental, I rented for a really good price the suzuki C50 and it was perfect and full equiped for the road trip. Fast paper work and honest and great comunication, no deposit or under 25 fees. Would rent again 100% Thank you!

Fantastic experience: If I could give these guys more stars, I would. Super friendly, very reasonable rates and easy to deal with. I was out riding in less than 10 minutes and bringing back the bike was just as easy. I've rented motorcycles before and it's never been this easy. The next time I'm in LA I'll be renting again from them!

Fantastic experience: Great bike easy process super nice people very accomadating with pickup and drop off times. Absolutely recommend. THANKS!

Fantastic experience: Ive rode very little prior to this and im alot more confident after Ilyas great instruction . The guy is super cool and had a dope bike. He covered all my questions in detail and kind of gives you this "ride your questions out on the motorcycle lessons". I recommend this to those who need a boost of confidence. Im totally gonna ace the DMV! Life

Fantastic experience: Excellent service. Can not fault it. We hired 2 bikes over the weekend & they were ready & waiting for us on our arrival. No issues with the bikes, but the service from Ilyas and his partner was faultless. If you need a bike in the LA area definitely give these guys a call.

Fantastic experience: Ilyas and Tia run a lean but friendly operation. It's not a problem to rent a bike from their home, and Ilyas is full of suggestions for how to make the most of your time. I rented a Yamaha FZ8 after I found that my initial planned rental of a Suzuki SV650 was just too cramped for my 6'5" frame. The FZ8 was great fun. Ilyas helped me resolve a flat rear tire as I was on my way back to his place, too.

Fantastic experience: We had a great experience renting from Ride 2 Ride Again. Ilyas has cultivated a lean business model in order to offer such competitive rates. Do not think this will leave you lacking anything in your rental experience, except maybe the fancy shop front (us real riders really kill for our fancy shop fronts, said no rider ever). With the range of bikes offered, we were able to take out exactly what we wanted and had helmets, gloves and jackets covered in the rental, as well as phone dock and saddle bags. I rode to ride again!

Fantastic experience: Muy bueno

Fantastic experience: Super friendly, helpful and economical - I'd certainly go with them again should the opportunity arise! Both Tia and Ilyas were very helpful and business-like. I rented the SV650 and went canyon-carving (you MUST visit the Angeles Crest Highway!!!) and it was in very good condition with Pilot Road 4s! Thanks very much guys!!!

Fantastic experience: Excellent bikes, Excellent service. Very flexible and accomodating. Great communication. Will be back!

Fantastic experience: Rented a Yamaha 650 cc for 3 days. So very cheap! 1/3 from anything else around (cheaper motorbikes as well but not an issue for me, just wanted a reasonable price for a cruiser). I've got an A1 licence (EU regulation) and the other big rentels wouldn't rent me anything (ignorant!). Above all I've met a lovely couple running their business together, I got VIP treatment, and a lot of flexibility. Would recommend supporting this small business - it's a win-win situation. Thanks Ilias!!

Fantastic experience: I landed at 1500. I was on a bike at 1630. Incredible. Thanks guys!

Fantastic experience: Just great bikes and service.

Fantastic experience: Rented Suzuki C50 Boulevard end of March 2018 for 6 days . Bike was excellent exactly what I wanted well maintained and had plenty of power . The service received from Ilyas and his wife was fantastic . I would thoroughly recommend using them .

Fantastic experience: Amazing people very helpful!! Thank you!!

Fantastic experience: Great service and availability from these guys. their prices are unbeatable, and i will rent from them again for sure thanks

Negative experience: Not too sure what to think of this business. I emailed Ilias initially to know if I could rent one of his bike on a particular day. I specified that I did not know yet the time I would pick up the bike. It was fine on his side and his answer was positive. Later, I told him that I will know on the day in a window of 2 hours, when I could pick up the bike because I would arrive from a cruise that day (and you never know exactly how long it take to disembark). From that moment, Ilias ignored my email and text. I mean, if this is inconvenient for you and you do not want to rent it anymore, that's fine by me. But the least you could do is answering and be professional.

Negative experience: From good to bad. Please read our exchange below. I had a good experience with this company last year and sent another email request asking for new lessons yesterday. I don't understand why I got this reaction when I have been nothing but polite and sincere. Not only that, but I also thought it was in poor taste that he blatantly said that my learning "will take a long time." There are a few ways to interpret that: (1) he will not be teaching me as best he could, (2) he is trying to squeeze me for every dime, or (3) he's putting me down by not even humoring the idea that this will not take long. The tone of his response to me speaks for itself. Please read below. Feel free to PM me if you'd like more info or if you would like email to be forwarded to you. Ilyas, if you're reading this, you're more than welcome to text or email me so we can fix this. I'm all about small business, but my impression of you has been soured today.

This happened twice and it felt almost as if you did not want to ride. I may be wrong, but you did do a session or two. Not sure. Anyway, I can come and pick up your bike and we can train in Downtown at 7 pm weekday evenings. This would be a 2 hour training plus an additional $100 to pickup the bike and then return it at your home. Thus, $200 for each session. I am to add that considering your height, this will take a long time. i am to also add that the KTM is an incorrect fit. Like trying to wear a really big shoe size and then trying to run.

Fantastic experience: No frills, fantastic service, great communication, and very accommodating! I'll be back!

Fantastic experience: "Too good to be true," you say? I said the same thing. Their prices are far more palpable than your typical "Eagle Rider" wallet burn. All I wanted for my short ride on the west coast, was a fun motorcycle. It didn't have to be the latest 2018 Harley CouchMaster, perfectly shiny. It just had to have 2 wheels, fresh tires, and to run properly. I also didn't particularly want to spend $200 for just a single day of riding! I was referred to R2RA on Reddit, and I can't emphasize enough, just how pleased I am. They had the perfect bike for my purpose (semi-upright sport bike, an SV650S), and it was a bargain price for a days rental. What, helmets and jackets are included in the price?! Yeah - don't expect a Shoei or Arai; bring your own if you want comfort! I was still skeptical - the price was literally 1/3rd of their closest competitor, really. Even the location seemed a little odd. But really, it's just a good guy running a business out of his home, and his passion for riding and helping others ride really shows. The moment I walked up to the bike and saw some virtually brand new Pilot Road 4's (top of the line Michelin's for the unaware) on the bike, I was at ease. He didn't cheap out on the rubber, and that's important. In the end, I enjoyed >24 hours of rental and a couple hundred miles of riding in the great mountains just north of LA/Anaheim, for a bargain price. Not a single hiccup at all. Thank you so much for making my vacation a memorable one!

Fantastic experience: Affordable prices and great service! Rented a scooter for my M1 and rented a bike for a trip to the coast. They convinced me to take the Nighthawk instead of the Vstar and I'm glad they did, I had much better control in the upright position and had an easy time cruising the streets. Would definitely recommend them to anyone needing a rental.

Fantastic experience: Un chico super simpático. Muy amable. Llegué al aeropuerto, le llame, y en 30min me tenia lista la moto. Al devolverle la moto me hizo incluso el favor de llevarme al aeropuerto. Una persona esplendida

Fantastic experience: Absolutely wonderful experience. Very easy to work with and the price was great. Rental included helmet and gloves. When he heard we were going up the coast he threw in jackets too because he thought we might get cold. And the bikes were great too. I can't wait to do this again.

Fantastic experience: Very affordable prices. I was ambivalent about the location but Iliya won me over with his great laid back personality. I rented the Suzuki cruiser, the Honda nighthawk and the Honda Grom over the course of the week. All of the bikes were mechanically well maintained. I highly recommend to everyone looking to rent a sturdy bike for the week.

Fantastic experience: My son and I rented 2 bikes for 9 days to go to the Grand Canyon and we didn't have any issues with the bikes at all. They are very well maintained. Ilyas is a very laid back person and all the transaction a paperwork was easy. I will use his service again in the furure for sure.

Fantastic experience: I would recommend this great company, because the price is the best in town and the insurance is included. I rented a black Suzuki M50, which ran as it should.

Fantastic experience: Super friendly. The motorbike rides smoothly and you won't find a cheaper price in the city! I don't have a local phone so I emailed them and they were quick in their reply accepting my request. It's not easy to find them since they are just a small family business, but they can't give a better customer service.

Fantastic experience: Low price and will recommend them to anybody who's trying to rent and scooter or motorcycle.

Fantastic experience: These guys are rad and legit
