Lothian Motorcycle Training: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I’d highly recommend Lothian Motorcycle Training, not just for your bike test, but any further training and enhancements after you pass! Excellent instruction, highly approachable and very patient, Joe’s a first rate instructor and a really good guy…..you can tell how well he’s regarded by being out on lesson and seeing the amount of people who wave and shout to him…..in a good way I might add! Thanks again Joe!
Fantastic experience: Been with them coming on 2 years now. They fully deserve the 5 star rating. Those that know my reviews know how rare an event that is.
Thanks Mark
Fantastic experience: Great place for your training did DAS with them passed everything first time
Fantastic experience: I passed the first time, great instructor. Thanks
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Great experience would definitely recommend. Did my DAS with them and gave me so much confidence to get passed the finish line.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Been with joe at Lothian Motorcycle Training for a few years doing my CBT and went for my unrestricted license this year, just passed today and can't thank joe enough. I can't recommend them more, everything is explained clearly and detailed and the nicest guys out there.
Thanks Aiden
Fantastic experience: I stumbled upon LMT through a Google search and I absolutely love the place. I was EXTREMELY worried about doing my CBT but from the minute I got in the door both Joe Jnr and Mark were so cool, calm and professional. I am continuing my lessons and I can't tell you the level of patience that Joe Jnr has with me as I am a bit of a pudding. He is like an 8ft tall walking, talking valium that calms you down instantly and can pick up 200kg bikes like they are handbags. On another note, the community spirit of the place is amazing! Will highly recommend LMT to absolutely anyone I hear mentioning motorbikes!
Fantastic experience: I had an excellent experience at Lothian Motorcycle Training! Both Joe Jr. and Joe Sr. are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely care about helping you succeed. I passed my Mod 1 and Mod 2 first time, and I owe it all to them. Highly recommend!
Thanks Luke
Fantastic experience: I have done my das course with young Joe absolutely amazing experience, Very patient, understanding and very knowledgeable.the man knows his stuff,get your backside down and get it done cannot recommend enough
Thanks Craig
Fantastic experience: Did my cbt , mod 1 and mod 2 here would 100% recommend going with them for any bike training and tests
Fantastic experience: Joe is fantastic, LMT was recommended by many people, I can see why they're so highly rated. Genuine people, so much time and patience with the learners. Made to feel at ease and honestly, the training is top level. Which I can assure, other schools are no where near this level of service. There is no question I'll be back to do my direct access with Joe. 100% recommend. Went in a nervous wreck and came out confident to ride a bike. They have a real passion for training and their learners. Thank you again for giving me the information and the support to feel at confident and safe on the road.
Thank you Katie
Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Joe and LMT enough! The training is well laid out and Joe is a fantastic instructor.
thanks Jamie
Fantastic experience: Huge thankyou to Joe the instructor who made me feel very comfortable as a young driver. Joe has taught me loads about and gave me confidence to drive safely on the road,he has a very broad knowledge of all Motorcycles. I complete my CBT (passed first time ) and A2 license (Mod1 & Mod2 passed first time.) Joe is very professional, always feeding back to you during the lessons and after the lessons. All Motorcycles are new and are in mint condition. I highly recommend Lothian Motorcycle Training and I look forward to completing my A license with Joe in 2 years time.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of sitting my CBT then moving straight on to my full unrestricted license with Joe from LMT. From start to finish it was a breeze, was made to feel comfortable from the get go. Joe is a fantastic instructor, he gives constructive feedback and explains everything in great detail. I passed my test only a couple of weeks ago, and I genuinely can’t thank Joe enough for getting me through it. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Lothian Motorcycle Training to anyone, if you’re thinking about doing it, just do it… you won’t be disappointed.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic instruction and a friendlier training outfit you could not ask for. Just passed my full licence with LMT, a few (metaphorical) speed bumps in the road due to my health but Joe jnr. And Joe snr. were very understanding and accommodating of my circumstances, and got me through. Top notch service, instruction and banter and well worth the travel from Edinburgh.
Many thanks for your review
Fantastic experience: Today I passed my MOD 2 test, What an incredible achievement I’ve achieved with Joe Jnr helping me through this! Can’t thank you enough. The professionalism you get from Joe Jnr and knowledge is different class. Fits you in when he has availability and what few couple of months it’s been from the very first call to the last test. Joe is professional at what he does, very patient and is a great laugh, highly recommend and If you are considering getting your motorcycle licence LMT is the place you want to go. See you out and about! ️…
Thank you
Fantastic experience: I started lessons last year with one school but didn't like really click there. Switched to Lothian Motorcycle Training, Bathgate, this year and can't recommend them highly enough. Joe Jnr gave me more instruction in 2 hours than I'd had in 3 lessons previously. I don't know where he gets the energy to talk for 2 hours all day. I chose to do my A2 licence and Joe has a Z400 for this. I don't know anywhere else that offers A2 bikes in this area. It was perfect for me.. I have quite severe exam anxiety but Joe gave me so much confidence and was extremely patient with all my ups and downs. So if anyone looking for first class instruction, especially the smaller folks or ladies that might prefer a smaller bike .. Joe is worth travelling for.
Fantastic experience: I went through my direct access with LMT and they were brilliant! Joe was so amazing to work with and really took the time to make sure I understood everything 100%! Despite being really nervous and not really sure if I was ready to move onto a bike the minute I got out and was on the road I loved it! I couldn't have asked for a better and more understanding instructor to take me on a bike for the first time! If you are at all nervous or really want to learn from the best bike instructor around this is place to do it! Thank you so much for all the help Joe! I can't believe I passed!
Thanks Sarah
Fantastic experience: Very methodical in his training, knowledgeable and really friendly. Would highly recommend to all levels of riders Thanks again Joe for everything!
thank you
Fantastic experience: I would like to give a big thanks to Joe at LMT for putting me through my CBT and direct access. I passed MOD1 and MOD2 first time. Joe is very safety conscious throughout the full training and has great feedback with each lesson.
thanks Craig
Fantastic experience: Just received my full A license, passing my mod 1 and mod 2 first time. You won’t find a better instructor anywhere!! By far the best place to go for motorcycle training and i would 10/10 highly recommend. Thanks Joe!!
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Joe is a godsend. Now done my CBT and mod 1/2 for my A2 licence. Passed both first time thanks to Joe's brilliant training. Highly recommend training here even if it's a bit of a drive it's 100% worth it. Won't find a better trainer.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: I decided to go for direct access at LMT and the Joe has been an amazing instructor throughout the whole process, he was extremely helpful with his expertise and helped me progress quickly. He has also been helpful after I’ve passed and provided me with tons of knowledge when finally looking for my bike and I couldn’t recommended him enough to anyone
thank you
Fantastic experience: I worked with Joe Jnr from day one. Every lesson I watched Joe teach different students with different capabilities. Joe is an exceptional teacher. Got me to my Mod 2 with no faults in less than a month MA man - Dan
Thanks very much Dan
Fantastic experience: Couldn’t recommend them enough, completed my a2 direct access with them. Very helpfully in sorting out all the test for me and great teacher always pushing me to test my ability. Will definitely be back to complete my full license when I can. Thank you Joe Jr and Joe Sr for everything.
thank you
Fantastic experience: I contacted Joe at lmt after being let down and messed about with another training provider, I was sorted quickly and appropriately for my progressive access to A licence. I had been ridding for 3 years on my a2 licence and Joe jr was able to provide me with the correct focused training I required to progress. I can’t thank Joe Snr and Joe Jnr for their professionalism and their training enough. I have already recommended them to friends and family.
Many thanks Craig
Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of doing my DAS at LMT with Joe. From start to finish everything was professional and explained well. This experience made learning to ride enjoyable and fun, would recommend Joe at LMT to anyone looking to jump into the motorbike scene. I was given more information than I needed to pass and as a new rider that extra mentoring has given me a head start on the road compared to other motorbike school that may not give that advice. 5 stars and more!
thanks
Fantastic experience: Just completed the DAS course, brilliant training from a friendly and very knowledgeable instructor. Highly recommend for anyone thinking about getting on two wheels
Thanks Blake
Fantastic experience: Recently passed my Direct access Module 2 with these guys.I've been mulling over what to say and realised I can’t say enough. These are just a few of the words that describe the “Two Joes” Professional Friendly Supportive Patient Knowledgeable These guys made me feel safe and secure from Day 1. Training was provided and progress made when I was ready, it was never rushed and there was never any pressure to move on until Joe made sure that he was confident in my new skills. I’ve come away with a new found respect of the roads and other road users.. If you’re considering a future on two wheels then LMT is the place to learn. Thanks again guys and I’ll be back to see you when I finally get my first HOG!!! Stay safe Cheers Andy
Thanks so much Andy
Fantastic experience: Fantastic Training at LMT, honestly cannot recommend enough. Joe Jnr was my instructor throughout the courses, first completing my CBT, then going on the Direct Access Course passing my MOD 1 & MOD 2. Thanks again for all your time and patience. I couldn't have asked for a better experience learning how to ride a motorbike from scratch.
Fantastic experience: Just passed my mod 2 with LMT after completing my cbt and mod 1 with them, outstanding instructors with heaps of knowledge and who actually teach you the skills to ride a bike not just pass the test, When out on the road Joe Jr is talking you through what your doing right and wrong and is always calm and patient with riders. In short if you want somewhere who will get you comfortable and safe on a bike LMT are the guys to do just that, can’t thank them enough
Thank you
Fantastic experience: I recently did my CBT with Lothian motorcycle training and enjoyed it from start to finish. Joe's expertise and knowledge is second to none! I decided to go with these guy's because every review I read gave glowing reports. I can quite honestly say that I certainly made the right choice. I hope to see you guy's again soon and would recommend you to anyone. 10/10 keep up the good work guy's
Thanks so much
Fantastic experience: Got my full bike license here, and what a fun journey it was!!! Highly recommend, the best, most professional and friendly motorbike training establishment I know! If you are thinking about getting on two wheels this definitely is a place to contact!
Thank you
Fantastic experience: What can I say the respect I have for LMT is high. Highly recommend Joe Jr was patient, flexible and always tried going the extra mile to get lessons and tests (mod1+mod2) that work around you. Can tell he takes pride in his job and watching people pass there test. Bikes were kept to a very high standard and was all round good banter Bottle of whisky is on its way as a massive thank you
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Sat my cbt today, first class training from Joe, patience and explanation top notch.. definitely recommend .. thanks again
Thanks Ash
Fantastic experience: Great guys best teachers you're gonna get period. If you want to learn how to ride a bike this is the place to go
thank you
Fantastic experience: Just passed my MOD2 with Lothian Motorcycle Training. Honestly the best experience I've had, from the first phone call, CBT, MOD1 training and test, MOD2 training and test to a successful outcome. These guys are fantastic. Totally professional in both their outlook and training methods. A training school that actually cares about your safety and not just the money. I cannot recommend them enough.
Thanks Connor
Fantastic experience: Really good experience with Joe and all completing the direct access course. Feel very comfortable on bikes by the final mod 2 pass, good amount of hours included. Thoroughly recommend.
thank you
Fantastic experience: Joe Jnr is very approachable, open, flexible and patient. I had a very limited timeline to pass my A2 and he made sure I was given priority for both lessons and tests. I felt comfortable and safe during my lessons, and I have learned everything I needed in order to become a confident rider. Joe Jnr's instructions and training were both clear, informative and concise. He explained the 'whys' and 'how to', ensuring that you were fully informed at all times. I would highly recommend Lothian Motorcycle Training, as both Joe Jnr and Joe Snr are excellent instructors.
Thank you for your wonderful review Leah
Fantastic experience: Great team! Super professional, will do everything they can to get you through and on the road and quick as possible. I can highly recommend for anything thinking of doing their license!
thank you
Fantastic experience: LMT ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Done my CBT here in July 2023 after getting some experience myself. I felt confident enough to get my DAS done, training was great Joe is a fantastic instructor, straightforward very helpful and he wants you to pass unlike a lot of training schools out there, I can’t fault him in anyway at all he’s constantly in your ear when your out on the road… when I’m out myself on my own bike I can still hear him telling me to do my checks constantly .. After theory, training and mod1 was out the way I passed my mod 2 on the 21 December 23 with no faults buzzing was an understatement. Thank you Joe for the help and support along the way! LMT I would 100% recommend to anyone if your doing CBT, DAS or you’ve never been on a bike in your life LMT will definitely get you to where you want to be 100%
Thanks so much for your review. Ride safe.
Fantastic experience: I went Direct access with LMT this year , if u are going to learn this is where you should go . Excellent
Fantastic experience: A huge thank you to the guys at LMT, especially Joe for his fantastic teaching. He really does bring out of you and his mindset and approach made everything so much easier as a new rider! From CBT, mod1 and Mod2 it’s been a pleasure! Totally recommend LMT to newcomers and veterans alike.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Big Joe had his work cut out teaching me to ride but he took it in his stride with his trademark "No dramas" approach to the job in hand. Most folk are delighted to have passed their test but for me what Joe did was more than just teach me to pass. He accepted the particular hurdles I presented, with dignity, compassion and respect and encouraged a high level of individual development in me and of course all of his students. I'm glad that I no longer have to go to LMT as thanks to Joe, I don't need to! :-) In another one of Joe's trademark expressions, "Job Done". Very grateful to LMT.
Thanks very much for this heartfelt review
Fantastic experience: I can only rate these guys the highest, highly recommended regardless of what level you are at. Joe provides tailored and professional training which will allow you know where you stand and honest feedback is given daily. Definitely worth the money there is no messing around and you get everything you need. I was training with Joe for a few weeks and passed both my MOD 1 and MOD 2 first time, all the best for the future. Kind regards, bartek
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Started training with Joe in August. From the first phone call everything was amazing. Very nice friendly people. Training was explained in full and they were very patient and very professional. Highly recommended for anyone looking to learn Passed first time Thank you so much appreciate all your help and guidance Gav
Fantastic experience: Had my CBT course with these guys today. Joe has a great way of instruction which makes you feel at ease, will definitely be back for my direct access. First rate training, thanks guys
thank you
Fantastic experience: Easiest 5/5 ever! These guys got me through both my mod 1 and mod 2 first try. Joe was one of the nicest guys you could ever meet and very professional. If you want to get a motorbike licence then these are the guys to go to 100%
thank you Daniel
Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend ,we're excellent all the way through from cbt to mod1 and mod2 and me passing and getting on the road,everything explained and shown through the tranning was clear and easily understandable guys were excellent,I know the guys are busy and you may have to wait but more than worth there weight in gold,can't fault them for anything,thanks guys

Thank you
Fantastic experience: Great school and the staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. Would highly recommend these guys. Trained to a high standard and actually enjoyed training
Thank you
Fantastic experience: I recently did a DAS course and gained my motorcycle licence through LMT. My instructor, Joe Jr., was patient, professional, very knowledgeable and full of encouragement. He made the learning process fun and enjoyable and ensured that not only was I prepared for my tests but also for real-life riding situations. Joe Snr. was also on hand with help and advice. Great guys and a great family business. If your thinking of getting a bike licence, you know who to call!
Thank you John
Fantastic experience: Joe Jnr and Joe Snr are both great at what they do. I was nervous going into the CBT and then the DAS but by the time it came to the test, they had both made it seem like nothing. Great training and advice from both and I would highly recommend them if you are looking to get on a bike!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely superb training from LMT. I've just completed my DAS course, going from never having sat on a bike before to getting my A licence in just over 8 weeks. Joe the giant junior, is a top class instructor with a friendly, patient, personable nature, who quickly builds a rapport with his students and makes it easy, even for complete newbies to learn. Joe senior is the man in the van on your test day and his calming words, helps steady the nerves. It's fair to say, these guys have made my middle aged crisis dreams come true! Cheers guys, Dean
Thank You
Fantastic experience: Did DAS course with LMT and would recommend them to anyone looking to learn to ride. Both Joe Jnr and Snr are excellent at what they do and make you feel confident and comfortable at all times. Joe Jnr was brilliant at explaining things during lessons and dealing with problems in a friendly way. His knowledge and experience are really evident during training. He makes sure you understand why the bike is behaving certain ways so you know how to properly correct in future. I travelled through to Bathgate for my training from Cumbernauld on a friends recommendation and I’m delighted I did. Everything was run smoothly, on time and as promised. Honestly, buzzing with the results and grateful to LMT.
Thanks William
Fantastic experience: Honestly can’t fault LMT, I sat my CBT with these guys last year. Joe Jr made it easy considering I had never been on a bike in my life. When it came to going for my mod 1 & 2 Joe Jr was brilliant in making sure I was ready for them. Both Joe Sr & Jr are really genuine and brilliant at what they do so if you’re thinking about learning these are the pair to go with!
Fantastic experience: Passed my Mod 2 today due to the help of Joe Sr and Joe Jr, both professional, understanding and accomodating. Long story short book your Direct Access with these guys as they will make sure you are ready and confident with your riding, will be back in the future for Advanced Road Training.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Can't thank young & old Joe enough they got me through my big bike test. Went over and above fitting in lessons around my work commitments. Would highly recommend this family run business to all my jealous friends and future bikers , thanks again Tam
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Joe was able to do a last minute refresher/CBT for myself. Very professional, friendly and patient. Highly recommend.
thank you
Fantastic experience: Joe really made it easy for me to do my direct access for my licence Joe Sr really helped me with both my mod 1 and mod 2 tests by putting my nerves at ease before the tests and clearing up any questions i had
Thank you
Fantastic experience: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Can't thank LMT enough! Got the urge to get a motorcycle and after speaking with Joe I had my CBT & direct access booked and passed both my Mod 1 & Mod 2 first time all within a few month (including time away with holidays already booked inbetween, also pretty much no experience on a motorcycle) Joe was super professional and helpfull during all lessons and paperwork. Also thanks to Joe Snr for everything and meeting me at the test centre on test day to make sure I was all ready to go and keeping the nerves down! Highly recommend LMT to anyone thinking about getting either CBT or going the full whack like I did. Cheers, Alan
Thank You
Fantastic experience: I just passed my module 2 today joe really helped me on my training even I live in Coatbridge but I went to Bathgate to get training which I think so 100% worth it who’s are struggling to pass their test I will definitely recommend you to go to Lothian motorcycle training you will smash your test.
Thank You
Fantastic experience: Passed my mod 1 and mod 2 first time due to the excellent tuition. Joe is a top guy would recommend 100%. Thanks again Joe.
Fantastic experience: Joe took me from never having touched a bike in my life to getting my A2 license. Not only do they teach you the necessary steps to getting your license but they also teach you how to be a better rider, setting you up well for the future. Great school can’t recommend it enough, will be back to complete my full A licence when I’m of age.
Fantastic experience: Done my direct access with Joe at LMT excellent instruction and top class guy thanks so much Joe you made it all so easy 100%
thank you
Fantastic experience: Informative, and fitted in around a busy schedule nothing too big or small for either Joe to help out with
Thanks Roy
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend LMT. Both Joes are great guys and a real pleasure to deal with. Joe Jr did all my training and really knew his stuff and made learning a great experience all round. I hadn't ridden a bike for something like 18 months since getting my CBT elsewhere but he got me up to standard and through my tests in around 6 weeks.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing experience with this fantastic company very professional and helpful throughout my lesson's and on to my tests can't thank Joe cnr and Joe jnr enough I passed and very happy
Many thanks Cameron
Fantastic experience: I used LMT 2 years ago for my CBT. Joe Jr was very helpful and understanding meaning I passed first time with no issues. Fast forward 2 years and I've just passed my mod 1 and 2 after doing all my lessons with LMT. I can't thank them enough for never giving up on me. Both father and son were very efficient and made me feel confident in my riding abilities. They were unbelievably accommodating to my schedule and nothing ever seemed like a chore for either of them. I've spoken to my mates that have passed with different schools and we can all agree that LMT are the best around
Thanks Sean
Fantastic experience: I'm really impressed with LMT. Joe Junior and Joe Snr were both very friendly and supportive. I recommend their training services, appreciated for keeping it professional, which led me to passing my tests. Thank you, and anyone interested should definitely look into it.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend LMT. They are incredibly professional and helping. They were very accommodating with the time and helped me through everything quickly. After 10 hours training i have had my full licence. Thank you.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: I've done my cbt and A2 with Joe and can safely say he's an excellent teacher and would highly recommend L.M.T to anyone. Lessons bring you up to a high standard at a good pace. The 2 Joe's make it a relaxed and safe environment for learning how to ride both 125ccs and up. Definitely going back to get my full licence when the time comes.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: LMT are masters of thier craft, absolutely first class, friendly and professional. Joe's teaching manner is superb, clear and precise. An absolute joy to learn from and would reccomend to anyone ! Nice fresh motorcycles too..!
Thanks very much Dale. Ride safe
Fantastic experience: Finished my Mod 2 at LMT in minimum time with the very highest quality of training, can’t thank Joe Jr and Sr enough. Absolutely excellent I would highly recommend LMT.
thank you Iain
Fantastic experience: Thanks to LMT I went from a complete beginner to full license holder in under 2 months. Top notch instruction from Joe and great test day support from Joe senior. Couldn’t recommend enough..
thank you
Fantastic experience: I initially started my DAS rider training around 2018 but after failing my Mod 1 test, I decided it wasn't for me. I got the itch again in late 2022 and decided to give it another go in 2023. I did my research and after a long chat with Joe Snr, I decided to put my trust in LMT and I'm 100% glad I did. The instruction and support I received from Joe Jnr was outstanding and far surpassed my expectations. I would not hesitate to recommend LMT to anyone thinking about starting rider training.
Thanks Stuart
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended, I recently passed my DAS test having done all my training through LMT. I found them to be a very professional training outfit, helping me get over my deficiencies and working with me to arrange the training I needed at the times I was available.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend lmt. both Joe jnr & senior maid me feel at ease from the start young Joe's approach to training is second to none very professional and great guy to get along with nothing is to much trouble I phoned to get my direct access on short notice and could only do it at weekends which was no trouble for them at all they got me booked in straight away and 1 month later I had my full licence it maid my training very enjoyable experience thanks again lad
Thanks Jordan
Fantastic experience: I completed the CBT and direct access course with LMT at the beginning of 2023 and had a fantastic time. The instructor Joe is beyond knowledgeable in his craft and the level of tuition that he provides is outstanding. I felt prepared and confident going into both modules, I was successful first time in both tests which can only be credited to the quality of the school. If you’re looking to get onto two wheels LMT are the guys for the job.
Thanks Kyle
Fantastic experience: LMT are a family run business. I found them very personal and professional and Joe and his dad offer a first class service taking pride in maintaining their high pass rates. The quality of training provided by Joe Junior was excellent with delivery tailored to meet ones individual needs. A thoroughly enjoyable experience having passed my Mod 1 & Mod 2 first time. They are well organised and having used other local schools in the past for CBT training they are with out doubt in a different league. Thanks to Joe Junior and Joe senior. (Posted Jan 2023).
Thanks for the review Nick
Fantastic experience: After starting my DAS training with another school, things weren't adding up about thier methods so I switched to L.M.T. and after my first lesson there I realised I had found myself at a real training outfit. The instruction at first was full, on as Joe gives a constant stream of commands and advice. But after you settle into it, you realise that this is real teaching and session by session your skill and understanding rockets. Meeting other riders and witnessing the amount of trainees passing weekly with these guys says it all. I can't thank Joe or his dad enough, thier success is down to their day in day out effort and belief in thier students. I'm already out and about on a large bike and every now and then I can hear Joes instruction in my head still when I'm not riding to my best ability !!!
Wonderful to have such a great review. Glad your training was memorable in keeping you safe. Thanks Jonathan.
Negative experience: Can't even be bothered answering the phone to potential customers. 3 times I've now phoned this place, and call was ignored. Oh well, I'll take my business elsewhere
Fantastic experience: I done my CBT, A2 and A licence all with LMT. They are simply fantastic at what they do. Being trained by the LMT team leaves you feeling a confident and safe rider. Both Joe Jnr and Joe Snr are extremely knowledgeable and inspire confidence. Joe Jnr and is a superb instructor, while Joe Snr is a calming presence on your test days. Would highly recommend anyone looking to get their bike licence to get in touch with LMT. You won't be disappointed.
Thank You
Fantastic experience: Cant recommend these guys highly enough! Very accommodating to our busy schedules and squeezed 2 of us in wherever they could. Very professional and would recommend to anyone looking to get a bike license.
Thanks Aaron
Fantastic experience: Would 100% recommend Joe and Joe Snr to anyone looking to get into biking. Professional, friendly and super knowledge, Thanks guys!!!
Thanks Jonathan
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended LMT, best training around! Go above and beyond to help and has been great to be able to train with everyone on the team!
Many thanks for your review Caitlin
Fantastic experience: Best place for motorcycle training in Britain hands down went above an beyond to get me ready for test couldn't have asked for a better bunch of guys top class training,extremely friendly and really supportive and flexible could not be happier
Thank you Jay
Fantastic experience: Joe Jr, Joe Sr and Mark are all absolutely superb at their job, couldn't recommend them highly enough. I first done my cbt in August last year having never ridden a motorcycle, then started my big bike lessons in April of this year, having racked up less than 500 miles on the road with my 125. All the guys are very understanding and patient and helped me go from starting my big bike lessons in April to passing both my mod 1 and mod 2 first time just last week. If you are looking to get on a bike whether cbt or big bike licence, these are the guys you need!
Many thanks Paul
Fantastic experience: A pleasure to meet and get to know Joe Jnr and Snr, a family who truly believe in what they do and training to a level that makes the exams easy. Back on the road after 30 year's off full of confidence after a great experience instilled by mile's of training with Joe Jnr thanks for everything.
Thanks Colin Ride Safe and enjoy the road adventures.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing company to learn with they are so attentive and so easy going passed everything from CBT all the way through my MOD1 to my MOD2 with clean sheets all the way. I would definitely recommend them to Absolutely everyone who wants to do there motorbike from CBT to full A class. LMT #1 Best in the buisness.
Thanks Chris Thanks Chris
Fantastic experience: ... Senior usually doesn't say anything, Junior talks a lot. Together, they complement each other so that you can prepare yourself for the test without any stress and pass it without any problems if you love motorcycles. The theory and practice taught by Junior go beyond the examiner's requirements, thanks to which you will pass 100%. I remember every tip and advice from Joe. I passed the first time without any stumbles. I highly recommend these professionals to anyone interested. They will help you with everything a fresh biker needs. I will continue to use LMT's services and advice to develop my skills and knowledge. Gentlemen from LMT, thank You for everything, best regards and see You Marcin ..Senior zwykle nic nie mówi, Junior mówi dużo. Razem świetnie się uzupełniają na tyle, że przygotujesz się bez stresu do testu i go zdasz bez problemu jeśli kochasz motocykle. Teoria oraz praktyka przekazana przez Juniora wykracza poza wymagania egzaminatora dzięki czemu zdasz na 100%. Ja pamiętam każdą wskazówkę i radę od Joe. Zdałem za pierwszym razem bez żadnego potknięcia. Bardzo polecam tych fachowców wszystkim zainteresowanym. Pomogą Ci we wszystkim czego potrzebuje świeży biker. Ja będe korzystał z usług i rad LMT dalej, by rozwijać umiejętności i wiedzę. Panowie z LMT dziękuję za wszystko, pozdrawiam i do zobaczenia. Marcin
Thanks Marcin
Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend lmt for your motorcycle lessons joe snr and Joe Jr and Mark are very good at what they do and if you listen to them you will pass 1st time I did.
Thanks Andrew
Fantastic experience: I have recently passed my full A licence test. Mr. Joe was very professional and knowledgeable and his training sessional helped me to pass all my test in the first attempt itself. The most useful thing I felt at LMT was they would arrange a practice MOT 1 test at the Livingston test centre, and you would go through the exact test practice lessons prior to your actual test. Also, they will take you the exact test route so that you will be familiar with the areas and signals. I would highly recommend LMT
Fantastic experience: I collect and deliver bikes to Lothian motorcycle training a couple of times a year, they are always super friendly and well organized/ easy to deal with...
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Great instructors, you will pass no problem if you go with these guys
Fantastic experience: Excellent training and friendly I just want to say thank so much to help me out to get my full license
thank you Amir
Fantastic experience: Brilliant training and experience was amazing throughout. Ended up failing Mod 1 first time as lack of sleep and couldn't resit for a while, ended up getting another date and passed. LMT was extremely understanding and refunded me my Mod 2 costs straight away. Could not recommend enough, really laid back with emphasis on learning how to ride a bike properly not just how to pass a test! Thanks again
Fantastic experience: Great place to learn, not only how to ride a bike but to love riding bikes. Joe and Joe Sr. Are by far the most professional, friendly and amazing at teaching. Whatever got you into Motorcycles, these guys are a wealth of information and experienced in evrey bike possible. The only place to learn how to ride moterbikes.
Fantastic experience: Great, family ran training school with tons of experience. Both Joe and Joe Senior helped me get my full A license via DAS with zero prior experience. Professional, fun, patient approach with training plan tailored to each individual. Could not recommend LMT enough to anyone thinking about getting their license. I wish them all the best.
Fantastic experience: Where to start, Joe & Joe Sr and their whole family have just been the best. They love bikes and riding thats the bottom line. They will try their hardest to make sure you pass. If anyone is considering going for any bike lesson or their full bike license this should be your first and only choice. They are patient and understanding, the most professional motorcycle training I have ever had. I can certainly see why this place has such a high pass rate, Joe and Joe Sr are the best thats why. I have became good friends with Joe and the whole family are such nice people to be around and learn from. If you want learn how to ride then get in touch with these guys, I would give 6 stars if possible.
