What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Nervous or first-time riders returning to motorcycling later in life feature heavily in feedback for this Batley-based training provider, which offers CBT, direct access training covering both practical modules, and taster or conversion sessions on geared bikes. Adults in their forties and fifties describe instructors including Martin, Bris, Andy and Brad as reassuring and unhurried, with one rider recalling being discouraged by a previous provider before having a markedly different experience here.

Several accounts mention settling in within minutes despite being grouped with more experienced riders, and mistakes being corrected gently rather than pointed out harshly. Trail bike sessions for children also come up repeatedly, with Charlotte credited for adapting her approach to younger pupils and putting them at ease from the start.

The progression from initial CBT through conversion and on to full licence testing is described as swift, with some riders completing the whole route within a matter of weeks. Staff across the board are called friendly, professional and easy to get along with, and the overall atmosphere is noted more than once as welcoming. The centre is open every day, including weekends, from half past eight until half past four, a schedule that suits family bookings for younger riders as well as adults fitting lessons around work.

Booked a 2hr session for my 12 yr old son; he's motorbike mad and loved it (this was his first time riding). The instructor Brad was brilliant and made it a fun learning session. We will definitely be coming back again. #TopClass

Great company , great people . I’ve been on a very quick efficient journey with Bumpy over the last 6 or 7 weeks from zero to hero . I had a geared bike taster session for an hour or 2 , followed by CBT , then the conversion session quickly followed by the mod 1 and mod 2!. I’ve just passed and am delighted with the whole process , thanks to all the staff . Especially Andy and Martin . Great instructors. We had a mixture of sunshine and showers but i always felt like I was in great hands .I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Cheers Guys !

Just turned 50 years old, I’d never ridden a motorbike before, but I wanted to finally fulfil my dream of riding — despite being very nervous. My first experience with another local provider completely knocked my confidence; after being told motorcycling “wasn’t for me” and I should forget it. Thankfully, I found Bumpy Ltd and booked a 1-hour pre-CBT lesson. The difference was like night and day. Within minutes, I was riding safely and under control thanks to the excellent instruction. A huge shoutout to John, my instructor — patient, encouraging, and a fantastic teacher who completely rebuilt my confidence. I’m now going ahead with my CBT, and hopefully this is just the start of an amazing journey on two wheels. Highly recommend Bumpy Ltd. Review by John T
