If you're interested in learning how to operate a motorcycle, Wake Tech offers Basic Rider courses developed by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation. This course is designed for new riders who have never operated a motorcycle and for re-entry riders who have not ridden in a long time. However, you must be able to ride a bicycle.
This course requires physical skill, such as being able to support a 300-pound motorcycle while straddling it and to push the motorcycle for distances up to 120 feet. Students who experience significant difficulty or become a safety risk to themselves or others will not be permitted to continue the riding activities in the course.
Students are required to view the general information letter before attending the Basic Rider Course.
NOTE: Wake Tech also offers training on three-wheel motorcycles in conjunction with manufacturer Can-Am. Registration is handled through Can-Am.
Are you ready for adventure? Interested in becoming a motorcyclist?

Please review the General Information page for riding gear needed and other requirements. Motorcycles are provided for training purposes.
