Fantastic experience: Just finished the course. I was registered in Richmond, and because of lack of people signed up, I was sent to their Coquitlam location. I'm extremely pleased at how things worked out. Our group had Adam and Mel as the instructors with a brief cameo from Patrick, and some surfer looking dude(If you know, you know). The instruction was extremely concise with explanations about why we do things this way in the lot, and how they apply to on road situations. We didn't just learn stuff to earn the MSA. They go beyond that, so that when we venture out on the road, we are safe. IF you are looking at starting to ride, I have no hesitation in recommending 1st Gear Motorcycle Training to anyone. In fact, I would insist that they take the course from them. Be prepared. The corrections can be blunt. Your safety is on the line, so listen to what they have to say. I wasn't the star here, far from it, but I learned from their feedback and plan on continue to practice what they taught us.
Thanks for the write up about your experience Bernie! It was a pleasure meeting you (and surfer dude...lol) and having you in class!! You did great and we appreciate your kind words. Please keep in touch and we look forward to hearing from you again!! - Mel
Fantastic experience: Well organized course with knowledgeable, friendly, and professional instructors. Learned the basics and got my full motorcycle licence in less than 2 months thanks to them! Highly recommend.
Nicely done Jason. Getting it all done in 2 months is pretty awesome.
Positive experience: Wife signed up for training. Got intimidated on the first day. Fell and got injured. Rested and waited for follow up to nothing available. Cannot switch to private class either. P.S. - After a few emails with the business. Confirmed a partial refund was issued a few months after the class date under a different label. So the rating was moved up.
Michael. While it was unfortunate your wife could not complete the course, private lessons were offered but did not work out either. Learning to ride a motorcycle is different for everyone. Your wife could learn to ride motorcycles it would just take longer and require a lot of bicycle riding as well. I wish I could guarantee everyone could learn to ride quickly but it can be difficult. We will always work with anyone that is willing to learn but you and your wife were not willing to do so. That is fine. It is not for everyone either. Refund was received.
Fantastic experience: Passed my ICBC road test today after doing my course 3 months ago. So thankful the team in Langley! From start to finish the experience was fantastic. Couldn’t ask for a better instructor than Adam! With the support, encouragement, and training given, I now have the confidence, and knowledge that got me my full license. Can’t say thank you enough! #bikerlife ️
Excellent! Getting it all done in three months is ideal. Well done Melissa and thank you for writing about your experience.
Fantastic experience: I couldn't be happier with the experience. I trained with Lee for both the MST and road test, and I passed both ICBC tests on my first try. Though I have prior riding experience in India, but riding in Canada is different. Lee helped me adjust to those differences with his clear and supportive teaching. He made everything easy to understand, and I felt confident going into the tests.
Thank you Gurmeet! Your moto skills from India will serve you well here, all you need to do is be familiar with the laws here.
