About us

Welcome to Bike Smart. Whether you are thinking of getting a bike as an affordable means of transport, or dreaming of that great two wheeled adventure you’ve always promised yourself – we can help! The instructors at Bike Smart have many years of experience in motorcycle training and touring. We offer all types of training; from Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) for 16 year olds taking their first ride on a motorbike through to full licence holders returning to biking as a hobby. We also offer advanced rider training to build on existing skills and improve rider safety.

At Bike Smart we have the facilities and the courses for all your training needs…

Compulsory Basic Training – CBT

This is the entry point to riding a moped or a motorcycle on the road and is a legal requirement. It must be completed by anyone who wants to ride up to 125cc machines. CBT is the first step for anyone who wishes to gain a full motorcycle licence.

A2 – Restricted Licence course

This is designed for riders over the age of 19, or anyone who does not wish to ride unlimited power machines. The course and practical tests are taken on a 650cc motorbike to gain a full motorcycle licence. On gaining the A2 licence you are able to ride a bike with up to 47bhp (something like a 400cc motorbike).

Direct Access Scheme – DAS

This is a course designed for riders over 24 years of age to carry out their training and practical tests on 600cc machines. Successful completion of this course provides an unrestricted motorcycle licence with no limit on the type of bike you can ride.

Back to Biking is available for anyone who has had a break from riding and would like to get back on two wheels. We adopt a flexible approach to this training and tailor the sessions to each individual’s needs; whether it’s a half day getting the best out of your new ride, or brushing up on long lost skills. We provide a highly qualified instructor to help make this an enjoyable and informative experience.

Testimonials

“
Macsen Dickinson
“Bike smart have been a fantastic company to train with!
After completing my restricted Mod 2 with them a few years ago, today I completed my full DAS course. Luke, the instructor I had for the weekend, was helpful, knowledgeable and most importantly funny. This helped me mentally prepare as it set a relaxed tone for what can be a stressful few days of build up.
I cannot more highly recommend their services for anyone looking to get on two wheels for the first time or to refresh and upgrade licenses.”

Kali Yemeni
“My name is Biniyamin and I recently completed my CBT training with Bike Smart, and I had a great experience. Ed and Adrian were fantastic trainers—knowledgeable, patient, and approachable. They explained everything clearly and ensured I felt confident at each step. The whole process was well-organized and thorough, making me feel safe and ready for the road. Highly recommend Bike Smart for anyone looking to get their CBT!”

“
I, SĪREN MUSIC
“Did my CBT with Bike smart would highly recommend..then went on to DAS training which was very intense however having a calm, safe and professional instructor such as Adrian made the experience far more enjoyable. Not only does he observe students and cater to their individual learning styles his dedication to riding, teaching and keeping students safe is by far second to none.”

Jake Cave
“I recently did my cbt with these guys and I could not recommend them enough!, I had Ed and John instructing and they are both friendly and professional.
Being a fairly nervous individual coupled with the fact I've never ridden a motorcycle before that day both the guys are easy going and made the day a memorable experience.
Very highly recommended!!”

Schnebols
“I completed the DAS with BikeSmart in Aug 2023, from day 1 my instructor Luke was clear with his communication and the training. He put me through my paces and tested my abilities. Once I was up to speed, he increased the difficulty whilst still being supportive and patient.
I would thoroughly recommend!”

“
Hal Foster
“Brilliant few days training to get me through to my full motorbike license. Luke was a brilliant instructor with clear instructions, patience and a great laugh whilst learning giving a good environment. A great source of knowledge with these guys and will definitely get you ready for your test.”
