Fantastic experience: Posting on behalf of my father. He had his CBT today with Kyle. Kyle made the whole day enjoyable.friendly and professional. I would recommend ride on 100% to anyone looking to get on 2 wheels
Fantastic experience: Just passed my CBT today. Kyle (the instructor) was just amazing, very professional super supportive. Made us all feel very comfortable and confident as well. He supported each of the students individually and at their own pace. As a first timer on a motorbike he made me feel comfortable and confident straight away from the beginning and made sure we all understood the rules and the highway codes, the equipment as well as the motorbike. Then we all took turns on the practical session with him first showing us what we needed to do and what would be wrong and right. I definitely recommend it and will surely go back there to complete my full license. Keep up the professionalism and the great work.
Fantastic experience: Genuinely cannot thank Mark & Kyle enough for all their help on getting me on the road and passing my CBT on a geared bike because I'm stubborn can't recommend these guys more for your training & guidance. & you'll definitely have more than enough laughs with them

Fantastic experience: Brilliant teachers Kind and understanding also good banter you cant ask for more, they have Taught me how to ride and be safe on the roads also take the time to explain so you understand how you can do better mark and simon are really good teachers i cant thank them enough For what they have taught me thank you.
Negative experience: Lack of communication. Poor service
Positive experience: 3 stars might be 5 with another instructor but the one I had is a 3, racist comments, passive aggressive and “had somewhere else to be”. That out the way on road instructions were nice and mostly calm even after I got flustered from receiving my first wind buffeting from an artic in a 40 road. If you’re a young lad wanting to get your cbt done I can recommend them but beyond that I’d find some where a bit more professional.
Fantastic experience: Great staff and communication woyld highly recommend using this company
Fantastic experience: I did my CBT on 30.09.22 with Mike and I never had any experience on a motorbike. He was absolutely fantastic and could not recommend anyone better. He was so great with giving tips and how you could improve. I was a bit nervous as our of the whole 4 people, I was the only one on a motorbike so I had to think about clutch / gears. Overall, I passed it with ease and gained so much confidence thanks to Mike. Great company to definitely consider your motorbike lessons / CBT / DAS. Definitely will be coming back very soon for my DAS
Fantastic experience: Great instructor, clear instructions and a pleasant relaxed enviroment for me to learn how to ride.
Fantastic experience: Did both pre CBT and CBT with these guys (at their Royston site) and it was a great experience all round. Had different instructors for all three experiences (Paula and Simon for my pre CBTs and Alan for the CBT) but I found the approach consistent throughout. I was even contacted by Sarah when there was a cancellation and got CBT a week earlier. Keep up the good work guys. I'll be sending my husband along for his training shortly.
Fantastic experience: Still remember the day I done my cbt best instructor was my 1st time and the man was so helpful cant say a bad word and im from the northeast and I'm definitely coming back to do my here again! Best about i say..
Fantastic experience: My partner bobby went here yesterday…, he passed which is a relief… but from me booking test on phone has pleasant the lady was and explained everything to me even reminding us of when test was before hand, was helpful… During test instructor ALAN i think his name is was helpful and amazing, simple to understand, helpful, insightful cant ask for a better guy polite Thank you guys so much
Fantastic experience: Passed my cbt few weeks ago. Had instructor Mick who was great at explaining things and giving tips how to ace the maneuvers. Will be book full licence course with rideon.

Fantastic experience: My CBT went really well I've never been on a motorcycle before and was a little nervous my instructor Mark Lavery of S & K motorcycle training had me riding a manual bike with confidence in a very small amount of time. The information and advice that he passed to me was extremely helpful as well as way he managed to break each part down for the young lad with us was brilliant. I would strongly recommend Mark Lavery.
Fantastic experience: Really nice good with teaching me explained what I'd done wrong and how to do it right, really good with my anxiety when i was panicking a little
Fantastic experience: Passed my CBT today at ride on motorcycle training, had a great instructor, explained everything that was expected for a successful out come at the end of the day. Very clear instructions given during pad work and during on the road training. Would defiantly recommend any one to take there CBT training at ride on motorcycle training.
Negative experience: My son lost his CBT certificate. We contacted the company for a replacement and was told the fee would be £50 to get this replaced when the DVSA quite clearly stated no more than £20 should be charged. I politely brought this up and was told to "ring Simon and argue this out with him later' I have no issue paying for a replacement, he shouldn't have lost the original, however we won't be hassled into paying more than guidelines state. Her reason being was that she struggled to find them ? Maybe a better filing system is required by this company. The date his cbt was completed was given to this lady numerous times. Surely all paperwork should be kept in order therefore making it easier to find? I explained there's no argument needed because it's government guidelines. In the end I got the DVSA involved and all communication was sent to DVSA. Customer service at this place is shocking along with their attitude. We won't be using them again. If you need a replacement Certificate be sure you're not told to pay more than necessary and contact DVSA because they are now monitoring the situation.
Fantastic experience: I had never been on a scooter before but wanted to learn. Ride on gave me the training and the confidence to do so . Thank you Paula, Marie and all at Ride On.
Fantastic experience: Had my CBT today 16/01/2022 Mick the instructor was brilliant a real credit to this company he explained everything that was needed to do and best of all had a laugh along the way all I can say is thanks Mick your a star keep up the good work all the best would highly recommend this company

Fantastic experience: From booking to my son passing his CBT they have been great. He's had a great time and really enjoyed it. Thank you 5* highly recommended
Fantastic experience: Brilliant place friendly and helpfull
Negative experience: Left a one star rating, didn't want to but had no other choice. The most unprofessional and arrogant trainer, He had zero patience and wanted me to get things perfect first time everytime, knowing I had very little experience on a scooter and also made me very anxious when I told him I suffer with anxiety and lack of confidence his reply was “I don't care”. He also made sexist jokes about women. All in all the company is completely unprofessional and I wouldn’t recommend dealing with these people at all.
Fantastic experience: My son did his CBT today first time on the road. Ride on were professional and explained everything so he could easily understand. I would highly recommend ride on
Fantastic experience: Steve the instructor put us at ease from the moment we met everything explained in plain English he made it a enjoyable course had a great day
Fantastic experience: Awesome instructor enjoyed doing my CBT with them
Negative experience: Didn't even get to the point of booking because she was messing me about . Very unprofessional and t the lady is very very rude I would totally avoid this company
Fantastic experience: Great, professional service during CBT. Even adhered to social distancing guidance. Will be doing big bike license with these without a doubt Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Really frendly staff,put you at ease. Was recommended to me and I would recommend to other pepole. Topping.
Fantastic experience: Great centre. Instructor was knowledgeable and passionate with us learners. I will be continuing my progress to a full licence through Ride On.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant trainers. Good prices
Negative experience: The most unprofessional and condescending trainer you could imagine, wasn’t at all interested in teaching me how to ride the bike he even wanted to put me on a scooter to avoid teaching me. He had zero patience and wanted me to show him perfect clutch control before he’d even taught me how to ride the bike and then when I told him he was stressing me out to the point of having an anxiety attack he said and I quote “I think you ought to go sit under that tree and think about what you want to do” speaking to me like I am a child instead of a fully grown man who has just paid ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY POUNDS to be taught how to ride a bike... the woman who runs the office was just as arrogant and uninterested in helping me, she had the attitude you’d expect from someone who you’d see on the Jeremy Kyle show. All in all they are completely unprofessional and I wouldn’t recommend dealing with these people at all, avoid like the plague
Fantastic experience: Its Carl Hobson passed mine on 17/6/19 Sam and Simon was brilliant instructors and very patient cos I am abit of a numpty and got me through it quick and now looking 4 a nice botamike :) cheers lads
Fantastic experience: Excellent going to do my full bike with them soon .
Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Ride-On Motorcycle Training enough... Knowling I was a complete beginner Mick ran me through all the essentials and was incredibly patient in areas I struggled with (such as low speed bike control). After a few hours we were out on the road, and a few hours more I had passed my CBT. You don't go on to the next stage of training until you are fully confident, and you leave at the end of the day feeling like you've achieved something. On a personal note for those with CBTs booked - Take a sandwich or something with you. There's tea and coffee on site, but a bite to eat just before you head out on the road for the first time (in my case) will do you wonders.
Negative experience: Messed me about for lessons. Cancelled my first lesson 10 minutes before I should of started it with no explanation. Then double booked my second lesson. My 3rd lesson got moved after they cancelled it again. Poorly organised and not cheap. Trainer seemed disinterested. Found a lot better training elsewhere without getting messed about to suit them.
Fantastic experience: can't thank you guys enough, Simon is a fantastic instructor ,i did enjoy every lesson with him and he got me through mod1 and mod2 .If you want to pass your test first time without being nervous I'll highly recommend Simon at ride on
Fantastic experience: Great friendly staff
Fantastic experience: Had my CBT with Steve today, was really put at ease, good teaching, good bikes etc & really really enjoyed it. Would definitely recommend to anyone & I have never heard of anyone saying any different, so ignore the last chaps negative review. These are a really good firm to learn & pass with so book!!!
Negative experience: Booked cbt today for a Saturday after that I asked if they had the Sunday available they said no and said they will cancel my booking when I DID NOT say CANCLE I was just asking a question after saying don't cancel I will do it on the Saturday she read my messages but did not reply after 20 mins I asked again and she said some one else has just paid for that date so messing me about not only that I was going to use these to do my motor bike licence right after cbt also had 3 other people wanting to do there bike test with them but no we have to go else where so not only they have lost me as a customer they have lost the 3 other people who was going to do DAS TRAINING with them. I was warned I would get messed about by these but thought I will give them a try Well they have proved me wrong Thank you for letting us down great customer service
Fantastic experience: First class team would recommend to any one
Fantastic experience: Thank you to simon for teaching me the basics and steve for having the nerve to take me out on a road ! If Ride on can teach a terrified 53 year old they can teach anyone many thanks Julie
Fantastic experience: Great team of people , they make ever student feel welcome
Fantastic experience: Great instructor, very patient and understanding with any issues your having. Would definitely recommend
Fantastic experience: Amazing. Amazing is just one word to describe how my experience was with Ride-On. My instructor Simon has a great way of teaching people and learning with him was very easy and I felt very comfortable. All the staff at Ride-On were great, always had a smile on there face and wanted to help you with what ever your needed help with. I passed my C.B.T, my Mod 1 and my Mod 2 with Ride-On. I could not recommend them enough to anyone that wants to start learning to ride bikes. Thank you Pauline, Simon + Others
Fantastic experience: very helpful and relaxed tutors
Fantastic experience: Good
Fantastic experience: The team at Ride-on have seen me through from CBT to Direct Access fantastically. I passed all parts, with the support of the team, first time. I am delighted with personal, friendly service. I liked the bike I learned on (ER 6n) so much, I've bought one Thanks again.
