The Basic Rider Course is designed for riders with little to no riding experience and for those riders wishing to brush up on their riding skills. Moto University provides a motorcycle for you. The cost for this class is $380.00. These classes consist of two days, a Saturday, and Sunday. The Basic Rider Course covers the fundamentals for developing safe and responsible motorcycle riding skills.

The E-course Certificate must be printed out and provided to a Ridercoach prior to the beginning of class.
