What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

On Gateway Drive in Aberdeen, this motorcycle training provider is regularly praised for the direct access training delivered chiefly by instructor Eric, often alongside Pete or Heath. Reviewers describe travelling from other cities to train here, with several completing a CBT before progressing onto the full licence modules on the same course. A theme that comes up often is how patiently faults are corrected, with feedback that builds skills rather than knocking confidence, and more than one account mentions being referred by previous trainees.

Riders coming from car-only backgrounds mention having bad habits addressed methodically, while others highlight passing with no minor faults recorded. Flexibility around scheduling is mentioned, with sessions arranged to fit personal commitments rather than a fixed timetable. Several reviewers note that the instruction goes beyond simply getting through a test, aiming instead to produce genuinely competent riders, and one mentions intending to return for advanced training in future.

Feedback spans a wide range of ages and experience levels, from complete beginners to older learners switching from cars, all describing a calm, thorough approach throughout. The combination of clear explanations, steady encouragement and attention to detail is what reviewers consistently return to when describing training at this Aberdeen centre near Gateway Drive.

I did my CBT with biketec in January and all of the instructors were very friendly and helpful. I then completed my DAS with Eric this month and I cannot recommend it enough! Eric was so friendly, attentive and really helped improve my confidence and ability on the road. Thanks to him I managed to get a first time pass on both my Mod 1 and 2 and had such a fun time doing them. If you’re looking to start out with a CBT or complete your DAS training book in with biketec! Thanks again guys! Cait 🫶🏻

I was lucky enough to do my CBT and Full Bike License with Eric and Bike Tec this year, following recommendations from about half a dozen of Eric's previous trainees. I couldn't have asked for a more supportive instructor, with Eric taking his time and giving me alternative ways of thinking of things if I didn't catch it fully in the first instance. Biketec were also very flexible with timings / dates working around my schedule. I couldn't have asked for better training and would recommend them to anyone - I'm looking forward to doing my Advanced Training with them once I have a few miles under my belt!

I booked with him after being referred by my friends, and I'm so glad I did. He was patient, professional, and made me feel confident from the start. His teaching was clear and supportive, and I passed feeling fully prepared. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great motorcycle instructor!

I completed my CBT refresher and Direct Access course with Biketec, and I can’t recommend Eric and his team highly enough. I had a fantastic experience from start to finish. Thanks to Eric’s excellent training, I passed both Mod 1 and Mod 2 first time. The instruction was professional, supportive, and gave me the confidence I needed to pass. Additionally, the team went out of their way to make the training dates work for me, as I had to travel in from work elsewhere in Europe. They made the whole process incredibly easy and stress-free. I hope to return in a couple of years to complete my full A licence with Eric, and I genuinely wouldn’t choose another school over Biketec.

I done the 3 and 1/2 day DAS course with Erik, and passed both Mod 1 and 2 with 0 minors, this was all thanks to Erik. During my training I had made a few mistakes and each time Erik was so understanding and patient with me, he made me understand what I done wrong and how to correct it, which will definitely benefit me on my bigger bike. From the day I turned up to the day I passed Erik was sure on keeping me calm and happy, I definitely would not have done as well as I did if it wasn’t for Erik. I would recommend Biketec 10/10 for anyone who wants to start riding, whether your looking for a CBT or do your DAS course, I had the best 4 days experience and never once felt rushed or pressured. Thank you again Erik, I will defo be back for my A licence in a couple years haha.

I done the direct access. Never been on a motorbike for over 30 years. Eric and the team were amazing. Would highly recommend. Eric is so professional and makes you feel at ease.

Just passed my mod 2 today, extremely grateful to Eric who does an amazing job and works really hard to make sure you know what you're doing. Felt like he made it a mission to teach me and make me a better rider. Just listen to what he tells you and enjoy riding your bigger bike when the time comes 😄
