Working with Rob was pretty fun, I would definitely recommend him to another brand new rider wanting their M endorsement. I went in with literally 0 experience and he was kind to everybody and helpful. He worked with me when I was overwhelming myself which I appreciated a lot. My entire class passed, and he wanted us to all pass. Great school

Highly recommend this class, whether youre new to riding or need a refresher course. Rob was my instructor, he was very professional and easy going. This course is a workout, be rested and ready. 10/10 worth your money and time.

This place is excellent if you want to get your safety certificate. Rob is the best, he explained every exercise thoroughly and then demo it to us. Some guys from my group have never rode a motorcycle but they passed all the tests and got their certificates.We had a lot of fun.

This course & the instructor is top notch. All the reviews about Rob bein a great & funny dude are the real deal. Im gonna describe my experience, and warn about some potential mishaps:6 of 8 people passed, but of the two people who didnt pass, I will explain:-The Texas heat is brutal, an extremely sweet old lady was perfectly capable of learning the exercises, but she had to throw in the towel because of the heat. If you intend to take summer classes, know this coming in.-The other person who didnt pass right away put too much pressure on their front brake during the skills test. This caused a fall, which is an instant fail on the test. Rob knew the rider wasnt a bad rider, they simply made a mistake. Rob offered to let them retake the physical skills test with another class, and the rider took Robs offer.They want you to pass, but they will hold you back if you are unsafe or if you make a catastrophic mistake on the skills test. They are reasonable people, so if you prove yourself in the course and make mistakes on the test that fail you, there will most likely be a compromise for a do over. Since Im so sure that rider that made a small mistake will pass the 2nd attempt, Id say 7 of 8 of us passed, with the only one not passing tapping out due to the heat.TL:DR-Rob is amazing, funny, and truly talented-The heat is brutal: bring sunscreen & water-Try your best and relax your nerves at the test. If the coach believes in you, and he believes you have the makings of a good rider, hell try his best to make you reach your potential.The photo attached is our graduating class photo! Good luck to any new or experienced riders taking this course, it was great!P.S. Just got my bike! All thanks to this course I wasnt worried at all getting it.

This was one of the most informative and fun classes I have ever taken.Rob was a complete professional, helpful every step of the way, and made the overall experience incredibly enjoyable.I had zero experience before taking the class and could not believe the progress I made throughout the two days. It really blew me away. I would recommend this to any and all of my friends.

My instructor for the Beginners Course was Robert (Rob). Let me start off by saying that this class is no joke, it is challenging, not because of the course material, but because riding is hard. You will need to bring your A game, they teach so much in a short time. The first day of my class I did struggle with the bike I was assigned. And without a word, he came to me the second day to switch out bikes so that I could have more success. He also did not leave another rider out to dry, because he went to one of the better riders, asked if he was willing to switch, and he was excellent on that bike after taking a test drive. Rob was also very considerate about safety. We went through numerous scenarios and reminders on safe driving. He followed the book to a tee, even though you could tell he already knew it word by word. That is a sign of a professional. He didnt cut corners or act bored. It is not easy to teach newbies on simple concepts when you are an expert. My only word of advice to improve your training is to carefully pick the season. I am very happy they host classes in July, that was the only time I had to do it, but be warned, it is Texas after all.

Great class! Rob knows exactly what he is doing. It was extremely fun!

Austin Moto Academy is the best motorcycle academy in Austin by FAR! My instructor was Rob and besides making us feel comfortable and safe, he made sure we had fun and enjoyed ourselves. From my experience, you should pick Rob and listen to his wisdom and advice about riding! The whole experience was fun and professional.

Just completed the 2 day Basic Rider course. Rob was our instructor and he was great! Very engaging, professional, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this to anyone that wants to learn to ride or wants their M endorsement. Rob went over everything you need to know and provided great demos for each exercise. I gained a great amount of invaluable knowledge and will probably take a higher level course in the future.

Great experience from start to finish.Our instructor Rob did a fantastic job of explaining the basics to our group of absolute beginners. Was a super nice guy and we could tell he really cared. Like after my class passed he took more time to explain common hazards in Austin like tar strips and metal sheets in construction zones.I was on the fence going to Austin Moto Academy because it was hard to get a classroom spot. However the experience was well worth having to wait.

Rob was the best instructor ive had in any training senario. Knowledgeable, Fun, and great at bringing the best out of his people. As for the course. it was great. Love the selection of motorcycles they have and the great nicknames they have for them as well. Cant wait to see their new location when it comes around.Make Rob the head instructor at the new location Mgmt. ight?

Bryce is all you need to obtain your motorcycle license because of his experience as motorcyclist, and his professionalism. He made our classes easy and fun. Thank you Bryce for being awesome instructor. You thought us a lot. Keep up the GREAT WORK!

Very informative class, had fun trying different bikes. Rob was invested in us doing well and being safe, and he communicated excellently throughout each exercise. Would recommend this class to anyone with no riding skill even if hesitant or intimidated.

Just go there Bryce will take care of you in every aspect. Have fun in riding and get your license stamp.

Class went smooth, straight to business, good information. Able to knock out requirements in intermediate class out in one day. Long day of lot riding but was a very good experience. Bryce is the man, lots of good info.

Had a great experience taking my MSF course. Vince was a great instructor who thoroughly explained exercises and their mechanics and always took time to analyze mistakes with rides and answer any followup questions.

Our instructor Vince was perfect! He emphasizes what you need to know to stay safe, he’s calm and communicates clearly and effectively. No nonsense here, we also met Miles the owner and he was a very nice man and gave some tips on purchasing and repairing bikes in the future. I had no experience riding motorcycles yet now I’m a rider! Thanks y’all.

I took an awesome Beginner course with Rob! I had a BLAST and Rob really helped us learn and have fun while being safe. I feel confident that Im ready to buy a bike and start hoggin baby! Lets go!

Really enjoyed our instructor Rob. He made us feel comfortable and confident in starting to riding a motorcycle

I loved this class & the instructor. Bryce I believe was the name. It was the most fun & instructional vehicle class Ive ever taken. I recommend this course to everyone who rides, you cant help but learn & improve. Awesome 👍

Rob was great! They have multiple bikes that you can try out.

Just finished and passed our 2 day course at Austin Moto Academy. Vince was awesome! I ask a lot of questions and he was happy to answer each and every one of them. I had never rode a motorcycle before this and left feeling confident about my beginner skills. Vince has lots of positive reinforcement and gives everyone the attention they need. He’s very knowledgeable and helpful. You are given a good variety and sizes of bikes to ride depending on what you’re interested in or comfortable with. And the course does a great job of starting with baby steps and gradually increasing / building on the exercises before. Before you know it you’ll be riding confidently. It was a lot of fun and Vince couldn’t have been a better teacher!

I just completed the basic rider class and I have to give Vince a shout-out. He is a great instructor and very patient teacher. Moreover, I struggle with test anxiety however, Vince has such a calm and positive demenor I did not feel overwhelmed. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Dont question taking this class, just go for it. Its the most fun Ive had in months, and i was dying from the Texas heat. Kinda sad its over even with my sun burnt neck and face

Course was great! The instructor Vince was patient and helpful.

Well paced, relaxed learning environment. Instructor was always encouraging and kept safety and expectations at the fore front of every task. HIGHLY recommend for beginners of all levels!

I went to the beginners class and loved it. Rob was very helpful with everyone one in the class and very funny.

Rob was fantastic! Overall Great class, very informative

A.M.A. is a great learning establishment! Vince is an awesome, calm, polite teacher who you can talk to about technique, good and bad habits, even good roads to ride. He lets you know things youre doing well and not so well to make you a better rider. I came in with no experience and am leaving with confidence and a bag full of techniques and skills I will use in my riding life. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for anyone looking to learn how to ride or brush up on their skills.

Fantastic experience, couldn’t have gone better. Bryce is THE man, treats everyone awesome while making sure everyone is gaining as much motorcycling knowledge as possible within the two days. Highly recommend getting your motorcycle license here, tons of fun.

Amanda was great! She is patient with new riders and encouraging. The owner was also really nice and cool to hear how he started the Academy. I even made friends in my group! Tons of fun, great experience and quality education on learning to ride.

I just completed my class and PASSED!!! 🙌🏼 Bryce is a great instructor, very patient, knowledgeable, and he makes it easy to ask questions. The process in it’s entirety was easy, even when I had questions and had to send an email I would receive a quick response. All in All- great experience!

Couldn’t recommend these guys more! Bryce did an incredibly thorough job of explaining the basics of motorcycling to anyone who shows up with a good attitude and work ethic..definitely give these guys a shot! Thanks y’all! 😀

Bryce is an excellent instructor and a good guy that kept our attention and made us laugh for 2 days. Ive been riding for years and still learned very much. The course highlighted my weaknesses and bad habits I had developed. Great investment and I am finally riding my motorcycle with the M endorsement.

Huge shout out to A.M.AGoing into this with 0 experience - coming with 10x more confidence. Reducing the intimidation factor.I would highly recommend this to anyone.Anyone coming into it with confusion , a grocery list of questions, if you just need to put theory to test and see if you can do it , whatever the case maybe ...take the class. Its worth every second.By the end of class on the second day... I wanted to leave on a motorcycle to go home instead of taking my car . 😅Its a good place with good vibes and even better people.

Great experience, Bryce was a remarkable instructor who made the learning process fun and enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Classes were really fun and informative. I went from 0 experience to feeling confident on a motorcycle in just a weekend. Bryce was an amazing instructor.

Went in for the two day BRC with Bryce as my instructor and it was AMAZING. I came in with very limited experience, all of my previous biking experience being on dirt bikes as a kid and early teens, and maneuvering a bigger bike was quite intimidating at first, but Bryce made it easy to understand and his confidence in his students gave me the confidence to complete the course and PASS!He is very patient and although I felt as though I was slowing the class down, he assured me that I was making beginner mistakes and that it was no big deal and thats why the course existed. (to teach us how to use the bikes) Bryce was also sure to thoroughly walk us through each exercise before starting, and even went as far as to demonstrate on one of the bikes, as well!I was put on a honda grom for the first day and was doing okay, but on the second day, he had us switch bikes and had me on a bike he called little pony (not sure its actual model) and I struggled a lot with that one. When I expressed to him that I wanted to switch back to the grom, he let me do so as soon as the exercise ended and never pushed me to go outside of my comfort zone as to which bike I want to ride.I had quite a bit of trouble remembering to roll on the throttle before releasing the clutch to get into the friction zone, but despite making the same mistake the entire first day, Bryce was patient and helpful the entire time.The second day as soon as I was back on the grom, i started to do much better than the previous day, and only stalled a few times in comparison to the every-other-startup on the first!Im sure that the only reason I passed the class was because of how good of an instructor Bryce is- definitely recommend!

Pretty amazing how fast they can help you gain the confidence to ride safely. Vince did a great job encouraging and coaching good habits.

I had a good time.

Had an awesome experience here! Other than riding dirtbikes once, it was my first experience with a motorcycle and this course was great. Highly reccomend going to Amanda as an instructor. She was patient, knowledgable, fun and a great teacher. 10/10 would reccomend for anyone wanting to learn to ride and get your license.

My trainer was Bryce. The way class was taught. How he taught us on the bikes. Everything was great. Left on the last day of class feeling great. Would def recommend Bryce and this location for anyone wanting to take that step into bikes.

Vince was an amazing teacher! I feel like a much more confident rider now. Lots of bikes to choose from! Worth every penny.

Both my son I took the class. Very professional, fun with a great personal touch. Bryce as our instructor was clearly the star. Way to go !

Fantastic class , Bryce is the bomb dot com , went from never really driving a motorcycle to feeling comfortable and knowledgeable in the span of two days .Advice : Bring a water bottle and snacks, study , dont over think it to much , have fun . Have a learning attitude and not a pass or fail attitude and you will enjoy your time much more so .

This class was super informative-it starts slow, and gives you every skill and bit of understanding you need to succeed as a rider! I started off completely clueless, and now I feel completely cool and confident, 2 days later! Vince was one the best teachers Ive ever had in my life. Very encouraging and kind!

Coach Vince was very professional and patient! Really enjoyed the two days training!

Even as someone whos ridden a moped for years before moving to Texas, learning to ride bikes with AMA was surprisingly fun. Wasnt expecting to learn so much from just 2 days of riding in a parking lot and classroom instruction, but Bryce kept things interesting in both portions by offering a lot of relevant experience as well as great advice during the riding portions. Getting to try out the variety of bikes on day 2 was eye-opening and I really want a Grom now.2 points of advice for people considering taking the classes:1. Bring plenty of ice water (and check the forecast to bring rain gear) during the summer classes. Enough water is provided, but youre going to be constantly sipping to keep cool because youre wearing heavy clothing, at low speed, in a parking lot, in Texas, in the middle of summer.2. (COVID-19 crisis related) The wait times for the DMV are like, 2 months at this point. Make an appointment online at least a month before your course is scheduled.

Went there about a year ago the weather sucked but the instructor took his time to make us all smile and laugh. class is slow but if youre unfamiliar with a bike its perfect. While you might think running it out of a bowling alley is strange youll spend little time in there and the instructor/bikes are awesome. SIGN UP AND GO RIDE!

Bryce was great and would recommend to anyone

I can highly recommend Austin Moto Academy if you want to get your motorcycle license. I didnt have any experience at all and after two days I feel comfortable enough to go out there and ride a motorcycle. How cool is that? Our instructor Vince really did a great job and made sure that we were safe and had fun right from the start. They train on 125cc bikes but also have two 250cc bikes for more experienced riders. Last but not least, everybody from my class passed the test!

Bryce was a great instructor. Very knowledgeable and passionate about his craft. Great experience.

Truly an outstanding group of instructors. I dont know how they can do this training day in and day out and maintain the professionalism they do. They teach by the book and reinforce the book with real world training. The training is long but required. If you want your endorsement this is where you want to go. They tell you dont be late, and that means dont be late. Nobody wants to wait for you. We had one show up 30 minutes late to the first class and he was given the boot. Bryce and Vince are both dedicated to your success. Everyone passed, and we had multiple people who had never ridden a motorcycle. This school doesnt make its money doing retests like the other school in Austin. They teach you right the first time. The motorcycles are well adjusted so the throttles and clutches are smooth and reliable. The bikes almost drive themselves. Thank you guys!

I started with little to no knowledge of motorcycles or proper/safe operations, but left with the skills needed to feel confident enough to begin riding on the streets. Our instructor, Bryce, really worked to teach everyone basic operations and how to practice safe riding in everyday and emergency situations! You can tell he really enjoys passing on what he knows to new riders. I would highly recommend this course for anyone looking to take the first step in getting their motorcycle license.

I had such a positive experience. I had no experience going in and my instructor (Bryce) was incredible. He was an amazing teacher - very knowledgeable, patient, and super helpful with helping us all learn to ride and taught us techniques to keep us safe on the roads...by the end of day 2 I was very comfortable on the bike. Great curriculum, incredible staff, I would recommend this to anyone and everyone interested in learning or obtaining their license. I will definitely be going back for the advanced courses.

Instructor was friendly, funny and kept the class entertaining

Incredible class! Thanks Bryce!

Great place to learn to ride and get your motorcycle endorsement. Bryce was awesome and made the class fun and easy to learn.

Awesome class I would recommend to EVERYONE, even if you dont plan on riding a motorcycle ever, this class will also make you a better driver in more ways than one! This class MIGHT just give you a discount on your insurance (car and bike). I had Bryce as my instructor and he was great! Such a super patient, easy going, knowledgeable guy! I have been riding for the better side of 7 years and there are some things you learn in this class I would have never thought about prior. It was also very fun I am currently thinking about taking his next course he offers through The Ride Company and it is less than half the cost of the first course! Now I just need to sign my girlfriend up for the basic rider course, GOOD LUCK.

I just had an incredible weekend with Austin Moto Academy. I never thought a riding or driving course can be such a great experience, I had so much fun with Bryce, our RiderCoach, and the classmates. Bryce is a really nice person and an amazing teacher - very knowledgeable, patient and encouraging. The bikes were all in good working condition with no annoying mechanical issues.Highly recommend to everyone in Austin area who want to obtain an M license and get comfortable on a motorcycle. This is definitely a great first step in the world of motorcycling.

Tons of fun and very informative. Bryce was our instructor and he was awesome, made the whole process very enjoyable. Highly recommend to anyone interested in learning to ride. Classes here count towards defensive driving too!

Great class and instructor!!

A very good course for beginners. It is well kept and clean. Motorcycles are well maintained. Some dings and dents but that is expected from a beginner. Class is well taught. I recommend taking Bryce as your instructor. He has over 20 years of experience along with the moto racing. After you pass, you can drive yourself down to the DPS and get your endorsement right away.

All the instructors are amazing but Amanda is the best!!

These guys are some of the best teachers Ive ever met in my life period (and I have four university degrees)! My instructor was Bryce and I was blown away with how patient and thoughtful the instruction was. Bryce is super confident and passionate about riding and it radiates to the students in the classroom and on the course. I often hesitate signing up for any adult instruction (for example, Im trying to improve my freestyle swimming technique but find most adult swimming instructors to be indifferent and subpar), but that was not the case with Austin Moto Academy. My class had individuals ranging from all age groups and different levels of understanding (e.g. some had never touched a manual transmission, a motorcycle/scooter), yet everyone was really up to speed after demonstrations. I would gladly sign up for this class again, and actually plan on gifting the class to my older brother -- it is that great!!!!

A great experience!If youre nervous about taking this class to begin with (like me), dont be - and this is definitely the place you should choose.Our instructor, Vince, was incredibly patient and seems to genuinely care about everyones experience in the class. He immediately put my mind at ease. Very authentic and friendly. He had no trouble handling our uneducated questions. Cant say enough about him really. Hes such a big part of why this will be a fond memory.Inside the classroom and on the courses, cooperation and comradery is encouraged and fostered. By the second class, I cared as much about my classmates doing well as I did myself. Felt like a little community was made.The riding part of the class is so easy to get used to. In two classes, you go from rocking the motorcycle back and forth to easily riding around the course comfortably.So glad I chose this place.M Class, here I come!

Awesome totally worth your investment even if you dont plan on buying a bike anytime soon. It was fun and having the M endorsement on your license for that time you might need it is priceless. You really should know how to drive a stick shift car before going. It isnt necessary but those that didnt know how struggled. But they did end up learning how to ride they just wish they had that skill before the course. I rode a dual sport during class and helped me see that I had more options other than just a sport bike and that small cc bikes are fun for beginners as you gain skills.

If you miss your class for whatever reason the cost is non refundable and you can’t reschedule.I was really looking forward to this for weeks, unfortunately life happens and things just don’t work out.

Instructor was great and it was lots of fun. HIGHLY recommend!

I took this program after riding a few scooters in asia. I always wanted my license and decided to give it a try. My instructor vince was AMAZING. He really took the time to teach us all basic safety information. Every question was answered and i never once felt Stupid For not knowing simple things. Amazing class for a beginner and i will definitely be returning for the intermediate and advance courses.

My girlfriend and I took this course over the weekend in schedule A. It was cold and windy but Vince really made it worth it. He is a great teacher and really instills confidence in those in his class. My class was 3 experienced riders and 4 who have never ridden in their lives. I feel everyone learned something and despite riding dirt for years I feel the experience was invaluable, plus I got my M license!Just a tip, it seemed like the later starting classes were 100% male and the early 7am class had more females in it, so if youre a woman and hesitant about it, the earlier class might be the way to go! Also - show up 15 minutes early because if you arent on time youre late, and if youre late you wont be allowed to continue (expensive lesson!)Thanks Vince!!!

Did the basic MSF course this weekend and had a lot of fun -- our group was working with Vince and he got us up-and-running quick (with most in the group -- including myself -- being beginners). Couldnt ask for a better foundation + experience.

Excellent program. The instructor, Vince was fantastic. He was encouraging and created an excellent class environment.

Great place, great teaching

Instructor had a lot of good feedback which made me a better rider.

Rude, unprofessional, feels like a scam i showed up to the bowling ally this outfit operates out of and was turned away. Was lied to on the phone. No refund im gonna have to go through the bank to get my money back.

Simply EXCELLENT.

I completed my MSF last Friday at Austin Moto Academy. It was a great experience. The instructor was very knowledgeable and patient and made me aware of many things that will help me be a safer motorcycle rider. I learned a lot and I am so glad I chose Austin Moto Academy. It was experience that will stay with me.
