Negative experience: Scam!! Be careful of paying upfront. They took my money and never gave me an option for a re-booking a date despite a month of back and forth emails. Apparently I could pay more upfront and this was a gesture of good will. Ive heard nothing back now for two weeks. Not the best way to do business in my opinion but I guess losing £34 is better than loosing £1000. Silly way to do businesses in my opinion.
Iain - it is very sad that you feel that you were 'scammed' We did ask for a payment up front for a course, which is standard procedure when booking dates/times. You were sent our terms and conditions that said we needed notice to be able to move (so we weren't out of pocket as a result of this transaction). We did ask you to pay for another lesson (£34) due to the short notice but offered you the full credit towards your full licence course, but you didn't take us up on this. It's hard to see what more we could have done here.
Fantastic experience: I did my DAS course with Lightning, out of both Wembley and Reading. I was very pleased with the instruction given, although I did prefer the instructors at Reading. The motorcycles and equipment were in good shape, and the facilities were pretty much as I would expect. It did not help that I did it in the dead of winter!! The training pad at Rivermead was fine for my Mod 1 training, and I found that Kev was able to get me absolutely prepared for my first test. It took me a couple of times, but that was mostly down to nerves. For my Mod 2, I passed first time with only a couple of faults. I found the entire team to be helpful and accommodating. I especially liked they were very proactive in getting things re-booked when we had a weather cancellation. All three of the instructors were excellent, but I do have to call out Kev, who put me at ease throughout the experience, and really focused on teaching me how to ride a motorcycle properly, not just pass the test. I would recommend them to anyone looking to do the DAS or any other motorcycle test.
Hi Sean, thank you so much for your kind words. We are very pleased that you enjoyed your training with us. We have shared this with all involved in helping you pass. Please do pop and see us when you are passing (we have now moved to The Abbey Rugby Club)
Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic experience with lightning motorcycle training. All the staff are friendly experienced and approachable. I would highly recommend. I tried several companies prior and they all had limited availability, but lightning managed to get me through and pass within a month.
Fantastic experience: Hi. I’ve passed my Motorcycle Full A license with lighting Motorcycle Training. In my past 38 years life , I’ve not had any experience and motorcycle license like a A1 and A2. I’ve spoken with lovely girl as BECKY at lighting motorcycle company then she encouraged me as I am 38 years old and having Car Driving License for while then I can go straight for Full A license for my dream motorcycle engine 1000cc. I was worry as I had not any experience in entire my life. Becky told me that do not worry. We will teach you in course session. She was true. After a full package of Full A training course then I’ve passed my motorcycle license FULL A in second time. First time failed with one silly minor fault. She is very positive, useful and helpful also very kindly and quick response to customer inquiries. I can recommend this company for anyone who are interested to get motorcycle license. God bless you. Thank you Ehsan
