We often have Clients who are already riding a Scooter and now wish to convert from an “auto” Scooter to a “gear” Motorcycle. With this in mind, we have introduced a Convert from Auto to Gear Bike Course for those Scooter Riders who already have prior riding experience, (albeit on the road, in traffic or not). To attend this Course, Riders must already have a proper understanding of how to ride a Scooter, including balance, pulling away, proper “throttle” control, braking at varying speeds and other basic related riding skills.

Clients can either choose to do develop their Riding Skills on a “per Lesson, per hour” Basis or select to do this carefully prepared Course. This 90 min Course with applicable Modules has both Theory and Practical Sessions to assist the Scooter Rider to understand, operate and adapt to the “clutch & gear” concept of a Motorcycle. This includes starting and pulling away procedures, gearing up/down, braking, while adapting to proper Motorcycle Riding Techniques, K53 Defensive Riding Strategies and basic Traffic & Road Safety Riding Skills all conducted under the guidance of a qualified K53 Motorcycle Riding & Safety Instructor. This Course also introduces a Rider to the various skills tests and basic requirements forming part of the K53 Motorcycle Test.

We would prefer Riders to have a valid Learner’s License for this Course but as we do not venture onto Public Roads or into Traffic, during the Course, this is optional and at your discretion. We do however offer additional Riding Courses that include “On the Road” Traffic Riding Training and Street Riding Strategies but then the Rider must be in possession of a valid Learner’s Licence for the applicable Bike.

It must be understood and accepted that completion of this Course is only the “beginning” of your Riding Experience on a “gear” Motorcycle and that actual Road and Traffic Riding Safety Skills can only be further developed by spending time in the saddle and accumulating kilometres on the Road.
