KickStart
The three-hour “should I ride?” answer. One range, zero tests. By the end you’ll know whether motorcycling is for you, and if it is, you’ll already be riding a straight line.
- 3 hours
- No experience
- Bike provided
- No test
The lowest-stakes way to try riding.
A full permit course is a real commitment of time and money, and not everyone is sure they want to ride until they have actually done it. KickStart exists for exactly that moment. Three hours, a bike and helmet provided, no classroom and no test, just you and an instructor on a closed range.
It is the gentlest on-ramp there is. Come in curious, leave knowing, and if riding turns out to be your thing, you step into the beginner permit course already comfortable on two wheels.
A 3-hour, no-pressure introduction.
KickStart is for adults with little to no motorcycle experience. It's not a permit course; there's no classroom and no testing. It's a chance to see if you actually like riding before committing to a full beginner permit course.
You'll learn how to roll the bike off the side stand, find the friction zone in the clutch, ride in a straight line, and bring the bike to a controlled stop. By the end, you'll have an honest answer to "should I do this?"
