Scotriders: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Hi sat my cbt, instructor was Pete, my day was amazing with him I successfully got my certificate Scotriders is the place to go Thanks, Paul Turner
Thanks for the positive feedback Paul, we're happy to hear you had a great day and look forward to seeing you back in the future to take your motorcycle journey to the next level.
Fantastic experience: Done my cbt with Pete was a great day explained and showed you if you were concerned and service is remarkable and from there but overall scot riders are the place to book with
Thanks Michael, we're glad you enjoyed your CBT. We look forward to seeing you again.
Fantastic experience: Wow - what a truly wonderful team of people here. Heather and Sam at the office are the first points of contact and are exceptional at what they do. They always get back to you when they say they will and sometimes feels like they moved mountains to get you booked in when you needed. Adey ran my CBT course and couldn't have been better, even despite it being a long day with a variety of skill levels in the group, he managed the entire day wonderfully, keeping everyone involved with some good humor and encouragement in equal measures. Moving on the big bike, Alan and Pete really know their stuff. Hands down some of the most friendly, knowledgeable and encouraging folk I have ever met. I'm almost gutted I've passed because I'll miss the lessons with them so much! If you're in any doubt at all about who to train with, you needn't be. Pick up the phone, give these guys a bell and I promise you'll have made the right decision. From one professional to another - thank you guys for all you've done, I'll be back for an ERS soon!
Thanks so much for the positive feed back Sam. We look forward to seeing you back for ERS assessment with Alan in the New Year.
Fantastic experience: Scotriders is absolutely brilliant! The staff are knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about helping their students succeed. Their training was thorough, engaging, and tailored to my needs, making me a confident and competent rider. I couldn’t have passed without their support and encouragement. If you’re looking for exceptional motorcycle training, Scotriders is the place to go. Highly recommended! 5 stars!
Thank you for the positive feed back Miles. Enjoy the big bike when you get it.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant! I've done my CBT there today and I've really enjoyed it
Great to hear that you enjoyed your CBT Ela. We hope to see you back in the future for further training but in the mean time ride safe.
Fantastic experience: Thank you Pete, Heather and the Scotriders team for your support in passing my CBT assessment. As someone who has a lot of fear, struggles with anxiety and a lack of confidence when it comes to motorbikes or putting myself in more risky situations to get this is a big milestone in my world. I really appreciated Heather’s flexibility, kindness and support in the lead up to booking this and Pete’s excellent teaching style combined with humour that put me at ease the entire day. I would highly recommend Scotriders to anyone considering getting their motorbike license. Thank you again, Sofia
Fantastic experience: Fantastic place to learn & get you're CBT,mod1 & mod2 I have enjoyed my experience so far started my CBT on the 25th but couldn't complete it fully on the day .going out on the road was very scary but my instructor has the patience of a saint Adey , heather phoned up and rearranged for the next Monday made me feel much better & I completed it so I will start doing my mod 1. But this is the best training place in Dundee and Sourounding areas highly recommended they are a busy company but leave a message and they do get back the following morning Thumbs up Guys will see you all soon for my mod1
Thanks for the positive feedback Paul. We look forward to seeing you back to get through the full test.
Fantastic experience: Did my CBT with Adey and would recommend, he'll push you to progress but safely. Started off with learning the basics, working on skills in their private area, then heading out onto the road for the last 2 hours if you've passed the skills in part 1. Will definitely return for the full licence training
Glad to hear you enjoyed your day with Adey. We look forward to seeing you back soon to progress onto the big bike and on for test.
Fantastic experience: Great day with a great instructor. Pete was brilliant, made me feel relaxed, had a laugh as well as being professional on the training. Will definitely recomend you to friends.
Fantastic experience: Pete was an absolute legend, passed my CBT. He was very informative and helped me and the other cool fella I was on with, pass. Will be back to do my A2 :) many thanks again Pete
Fantastic experience: Had an absolute blast. Had a great time and a good laugh. Would/have been recommending Scotriders for anybody.
Positive experience: everything was going well until the exam for module 2... and I really don't know what happened that my contact with this training school ended
Adam, you were offered a selection of dates and you said you would get back to us. You haven't. However I will inform the office that you would like a call and they will be in touch tomorrow.
Fantastic experience: Got me through mod 1 and 2 on the same day. Instructors tailored training to my weaknesses and got me up to scratch. Even put up with me turning up for wrong time slot
Well done on the back to back passes Chris. I will get you pics up asap.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend for all training! Great people and a good laugh, I've been using Scotriders for years now and have completed my CBT, A2 & A with them. Thanks for all the help and getting me passed!
Thanks for the positive review Nick. We'll done again on your passes today.
Fantastic experience: Couldn't recommend Scotriders enough! Got me through MOD 1 and 2 after a very anxious CBT start. Every lesson was great fun and each person was so supportive. Thanks again!
Glad you enjoyed the whole experience and we hope to see you back on the future.
Fantastic experience: done my CBT here twice now, instructors are awesome, the day is a good laugh and they know what they are doing!
Fantastic experience: Just completed my CBT with Scotriders. What a great team with good and realistic communication. On my 1st day we ran out of daylight to do the ride out part, so we did this on a 2nd day. As an old car driver the team helped me work through my learned poor habits and convert these to something more Bike focused. Great chat and patience shown by Pete, and a really enjoyable experience. To top things off the discount code on insurance just saved me a decent amount, and my 125 turns up in a couple of days. I’m going to get some more real world experience and then I will be back to do my DAS and move onto a bigger bike in a few months time. Now just to enjoy a bit of riding in the Scottish Winter!!!
Thanks for the positive review Stephen. We look forward to seeing you back in the new year to move up to the big bike and through test.
Fantastic experience: Alan is an extremely knowledgeable and patient instructor. Big shout out to Heather too for organising everything and being a great sport. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed your training with Alan and we hope to see you back in the future for further training towards getting through your full test.
Fantastic experience: A big fat thanks to Hether on the phone so so kind helpful and friendly then Peter my coach and Adrian the both was amazing supportive done the best to make me feel Comfortable very encouraging I enjoyed my riding on the road Love you guys you made my CBT THE BEST EXPERIENCE EVER I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND SCOTTRIDER
Thanks for the positive feed back Flo, great to hear that you enjoyed your training with us.
Fantastic experience: Thanks to Sam at scotriders for putting me through my CBT today
Thanks for the review George. It's always nice to hear back from our pupils.
Fantastic experience: I have a question, what is included in the CDT test
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience at Scotriders for my CBT on 30th August. The training centre is well set out and has exceptional space for students to train in. My instructor Sam was absolutely brilliant! Her service was brilliant! I liked especially the way she explained things then went on to also demonstrate what she just described. The day was very relaxed and I had great fun while also learning how to ride safely! I have full confidence in Scotriders and will recommend them to friends. For anyone reading this review, if your looking for a CBT or any other motorcycle qualifications I’d highly recommend you should call in. They’ll help you out with whatever you need. Five stars Scotriders, see you soon for continuation of my journey! ️
Thanks for the positive review Connor. We look forward to seeing you back for further training.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend scotriders for someone who is a novice at riding to sit their CBT with them. The instructors I had for the day to do my CBT were amazing very patient explained everything clearly were very informative whilst also cracking a few jokes here and there which also calmed my nerves a bit since I never really rode on a motorbike before and in general I had a really really good time and will definitely come back to do my full license in the future
Happy to here you enjoyed your day and we look forward to seeing you back for further training.
Fantastic experience: Amazing place to do your cbt highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Just passed my Mod 1 today with Pete! Absolutely buzzing!
Now to get that Mod2 passed and enjoy this great biking weather.
Fantastic experience: Super professional and customer focused. Heather spent some of her valuable time explaining the whole process of training and examination. Her knowledge was deep and she went above and beyond to accommodate my requests even going so far as loaninge a jacket to ride in the tests. Pete was my CBT instructor and is very personable and skilful rider. I would highly recommend Scotriders to anyone going for or learning to ride and probably those coming back to motorbikes as a refresher.
Thanks for the review Bernie. Always good to hear positive feedback and that you enjoyed the whole experience. We hope to see you back for training to full test standard in the future.
Fantastic experience: Massive thanks to the whole team at Scotriders. Heather for organising my lessons then my tests. Alan and Pete for sharing their vast knowledge and expertise with patience and professionalism. I will certainly be recommending Scotriders to any new riders I meet. Guys, keep up the fantastic work .
Thanks for the positive review. Hope to see you back for ERS once you have a few miles under your belt.
Fantastic experience: Excellent experience. I learned a lot and gained the confidence needed to complete my CBT. Pete, the instructor provided us all with excellent advice and guidance throughout the day. Also the office at Scotriders are super helpful and I can only but recommend Scotriders. Look forward to going back next year for my motorbike classes and test. Thanks to all!
Thanks for sharing this and we look forward to seeing you back for further training and tests.
Fantastic experience: Did my CBT yesterday from start to finish was great. My instructor Pete was great took time to explain what we where doing and pete was very easy to speak to if you didn't understand the situation of the task. I can not recommend scotriders enough. I will be back to do my DAS very soon. Thanks again, scotriders Graham
Glad you enjoyed your day with us and look forward to seeing you back for DAS soon.

Thank you David. Great to hear that you enjoyed your training with us and that you thought so highly of Alan.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Scotriders. The whole team are friendly, welcoming and always willing to provide you with whatever support you need. I thoroughly enjoyed every lesson, all but one with Alan who was an absolute star, he explained everything, sometimes more than a few times, so I was comfortable with what was required. Alan and Pete put you at ease from the minute you arrive, It was money well invested.
Thank you Tanya. It is great to hear when pupils have enjoyed their training experience with us. Congratulations on your test pass today and enjoy the new bike when you get it.
Fantastic experience: As an older guy sat my CBT with Scotriders and they were brilliant. Highly recommend them. Big thank you to Pete, hope the voice is better.

Fantastic experience: Had a fantastic day today despite the rain ☔. Lol . CBT nailed and a big thank you to Pete for taking me through the whole process as this was my first time on a motorbike. What a great experience. Thanks to Scotriders motorcycle rider training school. Totally recommend your motorbike school Cheers Peter
Happy to know you enjoyed your day with us . Look forward to seeing you back to get on the big bike when you're ready.
Fantastic experience: Great company for CBT training, friendly and comprehensive. Highly recommend!
Glad you enjoyed your day with us, hope to see you back soon to progress onto the bigger bikes and test.
Fantastic experience: I completed my CBT with Scotriders a few months ago, and had the pleasure of being instructed by Sam and Alan. Both were highly knowledgeable and above all patient and good humoured. They were able to explain the various points about motorcycle riding in ways that made sense to me as a complete novice, which was great. I'd highly recommend Scotriders as a place to do your CBT, and I intend to book with them in future when I am ready to sit my A licence tests. A hearty thumbs up from me!
Thanks for the positive feedback, glad to hear you enjoyed your day with us and we look forward to seeing you back to get on the big bike.
Fantastic experience: Excellent instructors, would definitely recommend.
Thanks for the positive feedback Sandy.
Fantastic experience: After having did a CBT 14 years ago with a different company, it's amazing to see just how professional these guys are. In the space of a few weeks I completed my CBT, then conversion, a few lessons amd sat both my MOD 1 & 2 on the same day and passed with flying colours. All instructors are very knowledgeable and patient. They adapt their teaching style to suit the learner and don't blindly follow a script like other companies. Highly recommended!
Great to hear you had a positive experience with us and enjoyed your training. Hope to see you back along for ERS or a Rider Club run in the future.
Fantastic experience: I decided it would be a good idea to do a refresher training session after 15 years off bikes before buying a new one. Pete from Scotriders provided an excellent afternoons refresher training, covering everything from slow speed maneuvering to a comprehensive session out in a number of different settings and environments. I'd absolutely recommend anyone who has been off the road for some time to get some refresher training before getting back on a bike, and Scotriders provide a first class service for just that.
Delighted to hear you enjoyed your refresher and you found it beneficial.
Fantastic experience: Its good to watch the bikers going around dundee and back.
It was great to be able to host it again this year and so far we've raised over £1000 for Spectrum and Glenlaw House. Final figure will be released once the PayPal donations close on the 10th.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant place
Thank you Robin.
Fantastic experience: Best

Thanks James, happy to hear you enjoyed your training with us.
Fantastic experience: Scotriders are excellent. I am a mature rider not having been on a bike for many many years Alan , Heather and the team got me through CBT , Full Licence and enhanced rider certificates . I can’t recommend them highly enough.
Pleasure to train you Malcolm hopefully see you out on a Rider Club ride out soon.
Fantastic experience: Done wee and bike bike lessons and tests with scotriders a few years back, great experience and really kickstarted my biking life. After a few years off went back for a wee refresher before jumping back on a bike and again just enjoyed every minute.
Glad you enjoyed your training experience, hopefully get a Rider Club ride organised soon.
Fantastic experience: Alan is a great instructor and has the patience of a Saint lol. I did my CBT, mod1 and mod2 with Scotriders and passed it all first time. My son has done his cbt with Scotriders too. I highly recommend them.
Thanks Phil, easy on the compliments though or my halo won't fit anymore. Hopefully we'll get your young lad through his test in the near future.
Fantastic experience: Passed first time with Scotriders. No hard sell and unnecessary lessons when not needed. The training was first class and the ongoing support through the Scotriders Rider Club has been great, especially as I don't have a biking background. I would definitely recommend!!!
Thanks Mark, glad you enjoyed your training with us and hopefully get a few ride outs with the club in the near future.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant motorbike school. All the instructors are top rate. Good laugh and very professional

Fantastic experience: Pete knows his stuff. Outstanding.
Thanks Homer, Pete certainly has an extensive knowledge of bikes and riding. He has been around since the early days of motorcycling
Fantastic experience: Sorry about the late review but better late than never I suppose. A big thankyou to Alan, Pete and Heather for getting me through my CBT and Mod1 & 2. Alan and Pete were both a pleasure to learn from. Heather (although never met in person) was very helpful and a good laugh when I spoke with her on the phone and very straight forward to deal with. I liked the fact that I was able to book a lesson at the test centre to see exactly what to expect during my Mod1, definitely helped. Would highly recommend Scotriders to anyone looking to getting bike lessons.
Great to hear you enjoyed the whole experience with Scotriders from booking in right through all your training. Ride safe.

Fantastic experience: First class staff and service couldn't be happier
Great to hear you enjoyed the whole experience with Scotriders
Fantastic experience: Apologies for this long overdue review I took my CBT back in January, I was lucky enough to have the session to myself, the training was absolutely brilliant and I learnt everything that I needed to know about riding a motorcycle / moped doing so in a safe and sensible manner, the instructor I had was very patient and understanding and guided me step-by-step through everything, he was also very helpful and gave me that more confidence on the bike itself. I would highly recommend scotriders for anyone wishing to sit a CBT or higher.
Thank you for the positive feedback. I'm glad that as well as feeling you learned a lot throughout the day, you also enjoyed your training experience with us.
Fantastic experience: What a cracking day....Alan was very good and reaasuring. Would definitely recommend to anyone doing their CBT. SO MUCH FUN!!!!!
Glad that you had a good day with us and that Alan helped to make the whole training experience so enjoyable for you.
Fantastic experience: Did my CBT with Steve which was both fun and made me confident going on the road on a motorbike. Communication has been great - Heather was helpful and quick to reply when sorting out the requirements for the A2 license and CBT date.
Thanks for the positive comments Robin. Nice to know your CBT instructor made your day enjoyable as well as informative.
Fantastic experience: Never a dull moment, fantastic experience right from my cbt throughout my training. Can't recommend enough :)
So happy you enjoyed the whole experience with Scotriders. Ride safe.
