Ace Motorcycle Training: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic would recommend time and time again to everyone: strangers, friends, family… Helped me go from never riding a bike apart from my CBT course with someone else, to being a confident rider holding a full liscence and they gave me a cracking deal on my first motorbike too. Couldn’t of asked for a more friendly and knowledgable bunch. Cheers Ace
Fantastic experience: Superb experience from start to finish. Expert instruction that held my attention and interest all day. Thanks John
Fantastic experience: Fantastic company, can't relate highly enough. Professional and knowledgeable instructors, tailed instruction, CBT down and roll on full licence
Fantastic experience: Ace were recommended to me by two experienced riders. I’m 61 and my only riding experience prior to this journey was an automatic scooter in Greece when I was a teenager. Notwithstanding that much earlier experience I signed up for the full DAS to an unrestricted Cat A, beginning with my CBT at the end of July. All of my instructors at Ace have been very very good. Showing patience, always encouraging, recognising the weak spots (I had many) and working diligently on them. Never making me feel rushed at any time. Feed back was always thorough and comprehensive. Humour was always a part of the lessons as well as making serious points. At my CBT I didn’t take to it like a duck to water at all as I’d hoped I would. But not to worry - after passing that on the first day (on a moped) through the training given I had a couple of gear conversion lessons which were included for me because I’d signed up to the DAS. Ace found me a cheap 125 and delivered it to me. I spent a few weeks solo riding and then returned to Belmont to start my ‘big bike’ lessons. Once again I could not fault the instructors and found them all to be excellent. Always the right mix of tutoring and humour. Sometimes I got frustrated at my own lack of confidence and sometimes I got over confident. All of this was managed by them perfectly. MOD 1 first time. MOD 2 at the second attempt ( watch out for those pesky 20 zones and how far behind you the examiner is - heart sinking to see him soooo far behind lol). But we learn from our mistakes don’t we. And this one was all on me. Successively completing the DAS and getting my unrestricted license is all on Ace and their thorough training. If you’re ‘of an age’ and looking for the next challenge then this is it and Ace are the people to take you on that journey 100% - you won’t regret it.

Fantastic experience: I recently completed my motorcycle CBT, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! The instructor was incredibly amiable and thoughtful of my specific needs, ensuring I felt comfortable and confident throughout the training. His patience really stood out, and he took the time to explain everything thoroughly, making the course both informative and fun. The fact that gloves, a helmet, and a jacket were provided for use during the CBT was a great added bonus, making the whole process even more convenient. The level of expertise the instructor brought was top-notch, and I left feeling well-prepared and excited to continue my journey on two wheels. Highly recommend this training for anyone looking to get started with motorcycling!

Fantastic experience: Completed my CBT and DAS course with Ace and they were brilliant start to finish. The level of instruction from being a beginner with no riding experience to getting me through my tests was excellent. Patient, professional and thorough all through my lessons with different instructors. Couldn't recommend them enough for motorcycle training.
Fantastic experience: The guys at ace are the best !!!! They took me from being a bubbling wreck to passing my mod 2 today . I'm so happy I've done my happy dance at the test centre . If anyone is considering training , these are you're guys . Thankyou ❤️
Fantastic experience: Done CBT all the team really helpful and instructor, was knowledgeable and helpful
Fantastic experience: Having done my CBT with A1 in Newcastle, I wanted somewhere more local for my DAS training. These guys were outstanding from day 1. Great focus on how to be a safe rider and first class training. Passed my Mod 1 without issue and then failed my Mod 2 at the very end of my test for something silly! I rebooked but it was ages away (tests are booked out months in advance!). In-between, I found a cancellation that unfortunately, ACE couldn't accompany me on. I went elsewhere for the test and passed without a single fault but I credit this to ACE'S training! From CBT to full licence in the space of a few weekends over 2 months. Would highly recommend.
Thanks Patrick pop in for your T shirt
Fantastic experience: Can’t recommend Ace motorcycle training enough. Passed first time, they made me feel at ease before hand and discussed in details a questions I had. Thanks lads!
Fantastic experience: Did my CBT with Ace and now completed my A2 license, with no minors. They are an absolute blast to train with and provide brilliant training for all types of bikes. 10/10 would recommend to train with.
Fantastic experience: ACE taught me to ride and I've been coming back ever since always great service.
Fantastic experience: You won’t find a better motorcycle training provider. At the start of my CBT I was absolutely hopeless, obviously we don’t expect miracles from complete beginners, but I just couldn’t get the hang of it. Adi was patient, professional, and understanding, as well as a good laugh. He kept me calm and got me through it, even through some difficult mistakes. I will definitely come back here for my full licence, and I highly recommend them. The other staff were also exceptionally friendly and I felt very welcome. Thank you Adi and everyone else at the store.

Hi David Glad your enjoying the journey!

From the morning doing training then to going out on the road our teacher “ad” made me feel at ease and explained everything perfectly thank you to your team and AD for today
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing service from start to finish! Extremely well priced for what you get, I will be recommending them to everyone! Thank you
Fantastic experience: Incredible from start to finish. They were amazing at fitting me in for lessons, I wanted to do this in a short space of time and with the help of them all I did. It took just over 3 weeks from starting my lessons to passing my Mod 1 & Mod 2 and I can’t thank you all enough! I passed my test on the Thursday and on the Monday did a big road trip down to Cornwall and felt so confident thanks to you all! Would highly recommend x

Fantastic experience: Able to book an MOT at a time to suit myself without waiting days and days. MOT carried out perfectly by courteous and friendly staff. Have used these guys for many years now and will continue to do so.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended here , went from CBT to passing full Mod 2 test all staff friendly and knowledgeable (and patient)
Fantastic experience: Definitely recommend Ace motorcycle training. All staff are great, All instructions are amazing, very helpful, have all the time in the world for you, feel a very confident rider thanks to the instructors. Definitely a 10/10
Fantastic experience: Did my CBT with Ace and would honestly say Ace by name Ace by nature. What a great bunch of people, really friendly, relaxed, very knowledgeable, took their time when explaining the rules of the road and requirements for motorcyclists and made sure everyone was happy with what they were being taught, shown or doing before moving on. As a group of 4 we had Tom and Kelly to do the practical off road riding then after lunch it was myself and one other with Kelly for the on road bit. Kelly made sure we were happy with what was planned, set up the intercom and we were off. We drove around the Keynsham area did the hill start, U turns and emergency stops then off again. Kelly was providing commentary, advice and pointers the entire time, she was really reassuring and so calm and natural I should think even the most nervous of riders would feel very much supported and that they were in very safe hands. By the end of the day my confidence levels were up there, along with all the safety training, advice and tips fully lodged in my mind, so much so that I had a quick introduction to the bigger bikes used in Mod 1 & 2 which went really well, so now I’ll be looking to get my full licence done ASAP as my dormant “bike bug” is now wide awake and buzzing, so think I’m gonna be a regular visitor to Ace in the coming months. Thanks Kelly and the rest of Ace, see you all very soon
Fantastic experience: After learning to ride with ace I have been back with my bike for a service, fantastic team in the workshop with honest advice and great knowledge highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: Legendary crew at ACE Motorcycles finally passed my CBT after many years of being scared! John and John two amazing instructors and staff!
Fantastic experience: Would recommend Ace to anyone. The instructors were professional and patient. I hadn't been on a motorbike for over 30 years. And decided to take my CBT on a manual with them and passed first day. Great bunch
Fantastic experience: Been to enquire about training and the staff have been really helpful and friendly. Nice selection of bikes and clothes. Shop was really busy but didn’t have to wait.
