Great instructors with tons of patients! I knew literally zero about riding a motorcycle and left with enough confidence to pass the state test. Highly recommend.

First let me say Jay is amazing. I came in with semi (car) driving experience but I was super rusty and needed some hardcore practice. I booked the 8 hour lesson package initially and my first day behind the wheel was rough! But by the last lesson I was confident and at ease. I did a 1 hour lesson to practice my turns and parking. I took the driver’s test today and passed! Jay is super patient. Very knowledgeable and completely trustworthy. He has super chill vibes which made it easier for me with anxiety behind the wheel. He’s really great at explaining in detail without being confusing. He does motorcycle lessons as well. If you need a bomb a$$ driving instructor then Jay is it!

Extremely organized courses. Very comprehensive and well paced. We were very lucky out here on two sunny days and it was a small group so kinda felt like a private class. Had a lot of fun and learned a lot. Highly recommend. Kevin is awesome!

Kevin & Melvin are great guys. Learned a ton of new things I know are of value on the road. Great drills and feeling more confident on the bike then I ever have. Definitely recommend this!Thank you

Had a great experience with Ride Chicago. I feel confident riding my motorcycle now and look forward to coming back for the intermediate course. The instructors are very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. Couldn’t ask for a better experience.

Ive had both basic and intermediate training courses through Ride Chicago. I would highly recommend both!As a new rider, the basic training was extremely useful and taught me how to operate a motorcycle and pass the state test for my M-class endorsement.After about a thousand miles in the saddle, the intermediate training helped me break some of the lazy habits Id developed, taught me things that make riding smoother and more enjoyable, and helped me gain a ton of confidence. I rode home for 45 minutes on a traffic-logged I-90 after the course and I felt more in confident and in control than Ive ever been.The instructors are absolutely the best and what make these courses! They know what theyre talking about. They will patiently explain it to you until you know it too. Theyll flag you down and offer guidance mid-ride. Theyll crack jokes that make the concepts really stick.

Just took the intermediate course today. I have a new bike and wanted to get good practice and see what the bike can do. This course did not disappoint. I feel way more confident leaning with my bike and in swerving. The instructors are kind but informative. They really care about your progress and confidence. Ride isnt just for beginners, you can always learn something new. Thanks, Ride!

Course and its instructors will comfortably ease you into the use of a bike such that youll be doing on your own within the first hour (even if you have no experience on a motorcycle).Instructors clearly explain things and set up the bike course such that you can pick up and utilize concepts with ease in a near risk free environment. This course will leave you more than capable of passing the state license exam. Would recommend without hesitation

The motorcycle class. No experience was needed and I feel comfortable buying a bike because they give you the skills and techniques to practice more and ride safely. Steven and Paco were great instructors.

I had an incredible experience with Ride Chicago. Took the 2-day basic riding classes and learned so much. The instructors (Kevin, Paco and Nathalie) are the best - funny, patient, always there to help. The exercises were well explained and during the practice they always made sure to encourage and correct you, if needed. So impressed with their professionalism, dedication and desire to teach good lasting habits, while making it fun. Thanks, guys!

Ride Chicago School was so helpful for me as I get comfortable driving after not driving for 5 years. Licensed adults who want to refresh their driving skills—this is a great school for you! My instructor Jay was awesome, customizing my lessons to what I wanted to learn and just really putting me at ease. Would recommend to anyone. Thank you!

Started with some slight bicycle experience and at the end I feel confident enough to take the test and pass with flying colors. They make riding fun, informative, and easy to understand. At this point I feel like I wont need any additional lessons but after the first one Im definitely considering the intermediate class to pick up some additional tips, tricks, and good habits.I highly recommend anyone interested in riding a motorcycle take this class. Even had people with their licenses take this class with me and they also learned several new things and broke some bad habits to improve their skills.

Very good class it made me feel ready to go on the road! The drills were very good and I learned many valuable things that would be useful on the road!

I had a great experience with Ride Chicago Motorcycle taking motorcycle classes for the first time. I have never ridden a motorcycle and Katie and Natalie lead us through it like pros and completely demystified it! I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to learn to ride or improve their riding skills. Its worth the money!

Great experience with ride Chicago once again. I took the basic course back in 2017 and needed a refresher. Definitely worth the money and time. Had a great time.

I did the 2 day motorcycle training class and was not disappointed. I had no previous riding experience but the training methods were paced well to slowly build core riding skills. Steve, Katie, and Jay were excellent instructors and a lot of fun to work with. Would recommend to anyone wanting to learn!

Great place with excellent instructors! Solid curriculum and convenient schedule options!

Took this class with zero riding experience and was felt comfortable on the motorcycle after our first few sessions. The instructors we had (Tim, Melvin, and Kevin) were knowledgeable, helpful and good coaches throughout. Highly recommended driving school if you’re looking to learn.

First time even touching a motorcycle, and I enrolled for classes here. I immediately felt comfortable with the instructors and they showed me the parts of the bike and how to operate it. Drills show you the basics and the instructors look to help you out on things. One day in and I am already feeling the confidence that you need when you ride a motorbike. I look forward from growing further from here, this class has been a tremendous start!

Professional and great communication. Communicating via text before the class was helpful, too.

Awesome experience with Ride Chicago. Super friendly and professional instructors. As a beginner, it was a great detailed introduction to riding.

Epic class! Fun, knowledgeable, and encouraging instructors make learning to ride a breeze. Vroom vroom ;)

Great course. Learned a lot. Plenty of practice on the skills. The staff(Tim & Kevin) are a lot of fun and keep it entertaining while educational. Really glad I took the course. I would suggest to any rider, newbies or experienced...

Never ridden a bike before this class. The class is well thought out to progressively teach you the basic skills you need to ride and be safe while becoming familiar with the bike. I would recommend this course to others

This class was recommended by a friend and I have to say that it was well worth it!! You really get to learn the basics and kick any bad habits immediately which was a big one for me. It wasn’t only a good learning experience but it was really fun and enjoyable. The staff is great and would easily recommend it to anyone learning to ride!!

Took the scooter class they offer and it was great. Instructor was awesome and answered any questions I had. Would definitely recommend for scooter or motorcycle class.

Great place to learn with excellent teachers. Kevin,Jay and Paco are very helpful being patient and implementing different techniques

Staff is professional and nice. Jay is really good at explaining concepts and really preparing you with all you need for the driver’s test. I passed on my first try!

Great instructors! Very friendly and welcoming, great for novice riders. Jay, Kevin, Tim, and Paco are all very supportive and have their own slightly different teaching styles that complement each other and means they can always find a way to explain the skills.

Intermediate Riders Course - Awesome experience! Well communicated and covered a wide variety of skills. Left a much more confident rider. Can definitely recommend!

I thought I knew how to handle my Harley. These guys seriously improved my technique and made me 20x more confident on my bike, both high and low speed(Go ahead and try handling a Harley low speed, seriously, its tough).addition thanks for the tips too! your braking advice helped me out control my brake and my throttle while throttle blipping on a down shift. Not to mention me maxing out my lean angle from this class. Peg scraping is awesome.

Great place to learn how to ride a motorcycle. Teachers are efficient and patient, the bike + gear are included in the class, and within a couple days you feel confident about riding in the city.Kevin was an awesome instructor!Would recommend anytime!

Completing my rider course requirement with Ride Chicago has been an excellent experience. Kevin, Steve, and Jay are world class humans and also happen to be pretty darn good instructors too. I think they can work with any kind of personality and naturally provide detailed explanations and answer off shoot questions masterfully. Definitely grateful for the experience. Will recommend to my friends!

Tim and Kevin are great instructors! The class is mostly riding which is great for someone like me who learns by doing. I’d highly recommend anyone take this course.

The experience was affordable, educational, and fun. Kevin was our instructor and his level of knowledge and instruction put my nerves at ease and helped me to excell to where I passed the course. If you are interested in riding a Motorcycle or Scooter, Ride Chicago is the place to do it.

Took the beginners course. Great instructors who made learning how to ride seamless. They helped provide 1 on 1 advice despite the class size not being small

Worlds Best driving teacher and school. I learned so much information from my teacher Jay. I’m a new driving student and he made me feel so confident behind the wheel. He is a amazing teacher and I’m happy to be one of his student! I also received my license! I highly recommend Ride Chicago.

Amazing experience. Steve and Katie transformed a person who had never ridden in his life to some who feels confident to pass the state exam in just 2 short days. Thanks so much, A+ experience

Tim, Kevin, and Paco were so awesomely supportive and instructive. Their patience and guidance really helped me feel more comfortable and turnes my nervousness into excitement. Thanks Ride Chicago!

Very structured riding course. Recommend to anyone serious about learning how to be a good rider

This was a really good class and made me feel so prepared to get my motorcycle license. Kevin is an awesome instructor, so helpful and encouraging, and I had a great time. Highly recommend Ride Chicago!

If you are a new rider with no experience I would recommend taking their class. Extremely informative, instructors are skillful and super helpful (Paco, Kevin, and B Rad) lol. If you can ride a bicycle you can ride a bike

Jay, Kevin, and Pako were great instructors and the entire course was extremely informative. Great exercises to learn the basics of handling a motorcycle. Appreciate the easy on-site testing as well!

Incredible experience learning how to ride with the amazing teachers at Ride. I came into the class not knowing a single thing about motorcycle riding. I came out of it feeling very comfortable with the motorcycle which is pretty unbelievable for me. I highly recommend Ride Chicago if you are looking to learn how to ride a motorcycle with confidence.

Great experience! Step by step instructions, and very easy for even someone without riding experience. Great instructors who are very patient and informative. Small classes allow for better more engaged learning. Highly recommend taking this class. The online portion of the class is informative and quick to finish.

Kevin, Paco, and Jay were great instructors and very easy going. They understood everyone’s pace and tought accordingly. I came into the class a little intimidated but I feel much more comfortable after taking it.

If you are looking to get experience riding a motorcycle I highly recommend the course Ride Chicago offers. The class size is relatively small and they provide you with everything you need to safely learn. Their instructors are serious about safety but know how to have fun as well; shout out to Steve, Kevin, and Tim for making the class so excellent!

Outstanding Class, huge confidence builder. I feel much safer now. Ian, Katy, and Kevin were very thorough.

Well-designed class with plenty of seat time and practice! I really appreciated the clear explanations of what makes the techniques they teach good habits - I had definitely picked up some bad habits learning from friends and I feel strongly that this class made me a safer and more competent rider. They fully prepared you for the state exam.

Great class, and not just for beginners. Definitely taught this old dog some new tricks! Henry, Jay and Steve did a great job teaching the class and really made it informative and fun. I highly recommend for any new rider or any rider wanting to sharpen your skills and possibly learn some maneuvers you may have never practiced before.

Absolute must! As a first time rider (with little to no experience) the ride Chicago team was crucial to helping me build the fine motor skills and good habits that are necessary for riding a motorcycle. They really helped me to get comfortable and confident on a motorcycle, as well. During my time with them the instructors, Natalie and Tim, were very helpful with working out any issues that I had during the lessons, providing extra time and practice and most of all offering encouragement. Take the time, spend the money.

Took my riders test from Natalie and Katie. They were both very helpful and fun to learn from. Cant wait to start riding!

Jay and Kevin are super patient, and thorough with every demonstration. Their coordination and clarity really shows.

My instructor, Kevin, was so helpful, attentive, and patient. He was also very funny and knew how to keep class engaging. I learned so much in such a short amount of time. I couldn’t imagine trying to learn to ride without this course.

I did the 2-day Basic Motorcycle Licensing Class with Kevin, Paco, and Natalie and was really pleased with the instructors, class progression, and MSF-specific testing. I have never ridden a cycle before, but I did have some intuition crossover on shifting from having driven stick.Few extra notes (specific to the beginner class):- all the bikes we used were non-sport / standards- you will never actually leave the parking lot, so dont expect to get direct traffic handling / freeway experience.

I was super intimidated to start motorcycle classes with absolutely no prior experience, but this class is super beginner friendly. The instructors are knowledgeable and thorough. They provide multiple demonstrations and talk through every step. There are a variety of different bikes they teach on that the instructors pair to best fit different students. I’d recommend this class to anyone.

Loved my Ride Chicago class. I was kinda terrified to try riding and now I feel prepared. Ian and Kevin were patient and helpful with me. There were 3 women which also helped make me more comfortable. Super fun! A+++

I have never been on a bike before and this class is helping me to build a great foundation of the basic skills. Tim and Natalie are awesome and make everyone feel comfortable. Recommend this class to anyone looking to learn to handle a bike correctly and get on the road.

Emailed and called 3 or 4 times each about a group of us booking some classes, at various levels, and to buy a few new helmets… it’s been over a month & I’ve heard absolutely nothing back. Obviously they really respect your time & want your business!

I failed the DMV motorcycle riding test. I failed the first test on my 1998 Buell. The bike was too large for the test, then, I wasted time and money renting a motor scooter, failed 2nd time. Then I went directly to Ride Chicago and signed up for the 2 hour private lesson. Instructor, Tim, ran me through the course. He told me I was ready. Two days later at their facility, not at the DMV, a DMV official tested me at Ride Chicago. I passed. Im 78 yrs. old and was due for all of my driving tests, passed all but the motorcycle riding in the DMV lot. I have been riding large motorcycles since I was 15. I cant say enough good things about Ride Chicago. If it was not for Ride Chicago, I would not be riding today.

I wish I would have taken this class years ago. A great way of learning and brushing up on skills. They are patient and really want you to be successful. I highy recommend. Thank you to the Ride Chicago Team. Natalie is a beast, I want to be like her when I grow up.

Ride Chicago’s basic learn to ride class is a must for any new rider or someone looking to transition from a moped to a motorcycle. They make the class fun and tailor the instruction to your riding ability. The entire team of instructors are pleasant and extremely knowledgeable. Thanks Henry, Tim, Jay and Steve for a great class!

Really great at getting riders comfortable and confident. I had started riding again after some years off the bike. I thought it would be a good idea for a refresher, even though I felt good on a bike. The first day I realized I had a few bad habits that were easily corrected. I definitely feel much more in control on my bike.I also watched how well they worked with camper beginners. All I can say is anyone thinking about riding, this is the place.

I came to Ride Chicago knowing absolutely nothing about riding motorcycles. Tim, Jay, and Paco have been extremely patient and helpful throughout the entire process. They make sure you feel comfortable on the bike from the start and help out tremendously. I highly recommend learning to ride here.

Definitely a great way to start. I’m a beginner rider and left feeling humbled and knowledgeable. If youre like me and bought a bike, still take the class to see how your bike handles in comparison to the bikes Ride Chicago has available for use. Highly recommend!

I took the Scooter class. Before this I have never been on a motorized two wheel vehicle of any sort. By the end of the course, I was smiling ear to ear! I was 100 times more confident on the scooter than when I first sat on it. The instructors were very thorough. They had wonderful senses of humor while still taking their jobs of instruction seriously. The perfect mix! Oh! And while I was practicing I heard someone riding their motorcycle on Damen excitedly yell their rider Look! Thats where I took my lessons! I will be back when I am ready to learn the motorcycle. I already know I am going to want to.

Taking the MSF course at Ride Chicago is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The instructors are so knowledgeable and patient. I came in with no experience and now feel confident I have the skills to buy my own bike and continue learning.

Paco, B-Rad, and Kevin were very knowledgeable guys!!! Definitely worth the class before testing!

The class was amazing and so much fun and also you learn a lot . Kevin was really patient and knowledgeable . Definitely recommend ..

As a first time motorcycle rider I was very nervous about feeling confident on the bike after just two lessons; however, ride Chicago had an incredible program through online classes and then in person experience on the bike that left me comfortable and confident to get out on the road. The instructors were fun and kept things interesting even through the basic instructions. I highly recommend motorcyclists both experienced and new, take this course!

The instructors are very experienced, attentive and supportive. Three days instead of two would be better. Overall, I learned a lot while having fun.

Great place, I’ve been looking to get practice before getting on road. Ride Chicago caught my eye with the amount of great reviews, and feedback. If you’re considering taking any motorcycle course, COME HERE! Tim, Jay and Kevin are awesome, the bikes are very balanced, even for a rider 6’5” they have slightly bigger bike. Do not consider anything else, this is 100% worth the price, and more! Bring positive mentality and you’ll have so much fun!

Great course for beginners. Not only do they teach the basics of riding but demo and teach everyone how to ride through cities safely. Instructors are very knowledgeable and patient with every rider.

It is an amazing two days for the beginning Motorcycle course! After the required sessions and test, it only took about 30 minutes before we actually started riding. It teaches you so much and how to do things properly and I love it

Excellent staff and good pace class to practice skills. Bikes can be better though.

The class had me totally prepared for the DMV written. The on bike class is a great pace for me with zero previous experience. Kevin is a great teacher.

I came into this class with some preliminary riding experience, but it was nothing compared to what these awesome and experienced instructors were able to teach me. They are patient, really watch you and can spot even the slightest detail in your riding to make you a better rider. Additionally, they are genuinely hilarious and friendly people. I feel like a more confidant, comfortable, (and most importantly) safer rider having taken this class.

I never had any motorcycle experience prior to this class, so initially I was incredibly nervous. The instructors (Ian and Natalie) gave simple directions and gave me a lot of helpful pointers throughout the course. Highly recommended, especially if youre a shorter driver interested in motorcycles.

Small classes of around 10 give you a personal learning experience at a competitive rate. They prepare you well for the state test which is discounted if you take the basic course. Definitely worth the time and money.

Had an amazing experience. Henry and Kevin are great instructors who helped me feel comfortable and confident as a first time rider. Glad I signed up and took the course.

Ride Chicago gives detailed and efficient motorcycle riding instructions. Friendly and fun staff! Learn to get on a bike in only two days!

Terrific people, fun time, worth every cent. Jay, Tim, Stephen was very friendly and open to questions. This is how you teach a class! Great place I would highly recomend.

Intermediate class covered everything you need yo rider safer in the streets. Amazing course!

Kevin and Tim were awesome! They knew what they were talking about and gave clear instructions. I already knew how to ride but I learned that I was not doing things as well as I thought.Thanks Guys.

I could not recommend their beginners course enough! All of their instructors are fantastic teachers, and have been incredibly patient with someone like me who has never touched a motorcycle before. I feel very prepared for the State test.

I took the beginner course, when I started the class I had never ridden a motor cycle and by the end I felt ready to ride on the street. Great instructors and great experience!

The class is simple and very in-depth, literally gives you everything you need to successfully ride in Chicago. Great instructors and very patient. I recommend if anyone is trying to ride.

Great experience. 10/10. Learning environment was relaxed but thorough. Instructors on both days all had a wide range of knowledge and gave personalized learning cues.

Great course to take and get a handle on the fundamentals. It goes at a good pace and the learning curve is manageable for most people who have some familiarity with their bike. Natalie and Ian are great instructors.

The Basic Motorcycling Licensing Class is fun. I am a brand new rider and they take a step by step approach to teach you how to learn all the basics you will need to get out on the road. They stress safety at every step. If you want to learn to ride I would take this class. You will learn to ride safely and confidently.

Took a 2 day motorcycle class here to learn to ride. The instructors were very helpful and I felt very in control of my bike even though it was my first time riding!

Kevin, Katie and Paco are all great instructors, they help and are knowledgeable with all details of learning to ride. Overall great experience and now Im super excited and confident about the improvement to my riding skills!Ride Chicago is Great! 👍

This place is freaking awesome. The guys here training you are so cool. They make it easier. I have never been in a motorcycle but they made it so easy to learn and they made it easy to ride. Two days ago I didn’t know a thing about a motorcycle and 2 days later I’m almost a pro. Jay, tim Kevin was awesome! Thanks guy.

Jay, Kevin, and Pako we’re great. I feel comfortable to test, and stay safe on the road.

J, Tim & Steven were super patient with me and gave me lots of praise and constructive criticism. They helped me feel convertible and welcome and made my learn to ride experience fun! Thanks guys!!!

Kevin, Mel & Tim were great instructors and I had a great experience as a first time rider.

I signed up for the 2 day begginers course for $299 and I have to say I am very impressed and feel it was worth the price. These guys take the time to explain everything clearly and make sure you understand before moving onto the next step. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to start riding.

Steve is a great instructor and friendly person, I took the scooter class with three other people and had an informative and fun time!

I highly recommend this driving school to anyone who is starting out as a novice or trying to refresh their skills. Instructors Ian and Kevin are super friendly, highly professional, and bring a positive atmosphere that is inclusive and reassuring. Thanks Ride Chicago.

Took the first of two classes today and had a blast. The instructors were fun, professional, know what theyre doing, and understand youre just learning. Id highly recommend the class for both these reasons and because youll feel much more confident with various scenarios youll encounter while riding than if you just learn on your own.
