Our training motorcycles are expertly maintained by qualified staff in our own in house on site workshop. All of our motorcycles are under three years old. We have a brand new CBT fleet for 2023 for every course right from moped to full category A licence. The bikes can be lowered to suit shorter riders, our lowest setting gives us a class leading height of 730mm. Click Here to Meet the Bikes. 

Communication

Instructor to Student communications are handled by industry leading SENA digital radio systems. Designed for training schools to provide clean clear communication between instructor and student. We provide fully sanitised soft covered speaker earpieces that fit inside your helmet. Most students find the Pass Bike earpieces completely unobtrusive, unlike the hard plastic over the ear items used elsewhere. Of course we value your choice and are happy to accommodate your own personal earpiece (3.5mm jack socket).

4 Hour Full Licence Training Days

Research from educational establishments and our own data shows the ideal practical lesson length is two hours, our four hour sessions comprise of two sessions of two hours with a short break in the middle. Six hour days with a lunch break and rest breaks only add up to four hours of learning, why pay for what your not using? Other courses such as CBT are 6-8 hour courses but are split into 2 hour sections with short breaks and are usually completed within a day.

Training Centre

Pass Bike has its own training centre, we own it, built to our specification in Rochford. We do not share our centre with any other training school, no leaving the site to let another school use the facilities or part time booking of a playground or car park, everything you need to learn and relax is here on site with us, private changing room, male and female toilets, freshly laundered clothing and interactive classrooms. Refreshments are available from our on site self service tea room “The Smallest Pot Coffee Stop” with a selection of subsided hot and cold drinks.
