PowerRide University

Fantastic experience: I completely the MSF 3W Course this past weekend. Jason and Ray were incredible coaches! They man the class easy going and extremely knowledgeable. Definitely helped build my confidence. They also displayed patience and encouragement throughout the weekend. Highly recommended taking the course to either learn the basics of maybe touch up on a few things.

Negative experience: I don’t understand this company. I shop and go to the gym in the Southpark mall. WHY would you take up all this space for your classes during the BUSIEST TIMES (the weekend) . WHEN THERE ARE 3 WHOLE parking lots in the mall that are EMPTY literally next to it. Why would you have your classes where there are cars? I don’t trust your students to not hit into my parked car it’s so irresponsible! Go to an empty lot!! Yeah take the actual spots of customers that are trying to go into the dying mall. Just because of this I have to give you a 1 star rating. My fiancé and I ride motorcycles and I would NEVER train in a lot that is busy even if there are cones. SO IRRESPONSIBLE!

Fantastic experience: Coach was very helpful and made sure to demonstrate all of the exercises with detail.

Fantastic experience: I just finished my course this weekend and drove down from Orono, Maine in order to get some experience on a bike and to learn the essential skills, how to ride safely, and also get to meet some new people. I had an amazing experience. From day 1, I knew I made a good choice. Neil and Bill are truly incredible coaches that know what they're talking about, are very personable and approachable, and will let you know how you're doing. They will be watching you as you come into exercises and give you advice that is relevant, and also let you know what you did good on so you can continue to keep good habits. My course was with eleven other people. We had two days of riding, kept the same bike for both days, and really got comfortable riding at low speeds, cornering, higher speed (well, not over 30) and shifting. Someone that has never been on a motorcycle before should take this course knowing that you are not going to be the only one and that you will be guided through the exercises. It's a fast paced environment, but after taking this course, I felt like that environment was best. I originally had thought about taking a more individualized course in my hometown when riding season starts but I am so glad I went through PowerRide. It's nice to build that bond with people who are in similar shoes, and learn together. By the time I took my test, I went into it knowing that my coaches instilled in me the skills I needed to pass, and I did. I made two mistakes but considering just a few days before I had never been on a motorcycle, two mistakes is a very impressive accomplishment. I passed! I would recommend PowerRide to anybody. I would recommend them to those who have been on a bike before and want to strengthen their knowledge and ability in a closed course safe environment and I would recommend it to someone who has never been on a bike before. I'm insanely glad I decided to go with this school and had a great time in Virginia enjoying some warmer weather for a few days :)

Fantastic experience: Jason and Pi we're excellent instructors. They showed mastery in not only in their level of skill riding motorcycles, but also mastery in the effectiveness of their teaching and instructing skills. They were easily approachable with questions and concerns. They were highly effective at delivering the informative material needed as well as being genuinely enthusiastic about instructing riding techniques. They often injected their invaluable real world scenarios and experiences into  the material making for easier learning and retention of the material. They demonstrated  great teamwork in their ability to work together to strategize exercises in a cohesive and coherent manner for their students. My largest endorsement goes to Jason and Pi both for the immense amount of patience shown to students like myself, repeating the same mistakes on multiple occasions as well as their ability to inspire confidence in their students that seemed to struggle with different techniques throughout the course. Before my eyes they trained eight novice to zero experience riders into road ready motorcyclists in 2 days. My only previous experience was from being on a dirt bike a handful of times as a 12yo adolescent more than 30 years ago. I could not have imagined a better learning environment. The entire experience was superb mix of safety and fun. P. s. I'm worried i am most likely misspelling the name of Pi.. please let me know so i can edit this post accordingly.
