Product information "Motorcycle beginner gift voucher – learn to ride a motorcycle"
Riding a motorcycle for the first time – without a licence and without any experience: the motorcycle beginner gift voucher is the present for everyone who has always wanted to ride themselves. On the fenced-off MX-Academy grounds in Schlatt TG, you ride without a licence and without a learner’s permit, on a light beginner bike, at your own pace and with a coach at your side.
Who the voucher is for
- Car drivers without a motorcycle licence
- Scooter and moped riders – the next step towards real motorcycle experience
- Returning riders who want to get back in the saddle properly
How you learn to ride
You learn on small, light motorcycles with an automatic gearbox. At the beginning, the coaches ride with you if necessary, until you have the motorcycle fully under control. Theory is followed by a short dry run, then it is on to the beginner track: soft ground, generous run-off zones and no oncoming traffic. By the end of the day at the latest, you ride the beginner course on your own – maybe even the track for advanced riders.
On the shorter motorcycle taster course, only the riding time on the track is shorter – all other content stays the same.
