Fantastic place with great people! Soon as you walk in, the team are warm and welcoming! Ant & Steve are amazing trainers who are nothing short of patient and professional, great laugh, too. Huge thanks to Ant who guiding me through and gave me tips throughout the day and the road riding. Highly recommend and I’ll be back for the real machines soon enough! 🙏🏻 keep up the great work 🏍️
Did my CBT with Ant, whole team are friendly, was a great day and I was well taken care of. Done a few of these and this was by far my best experience, I couldn’t recommend enough.
Well you wonderful people thank you so much for helping me complete my CBT. You had more confidence in me than I did and I thank you for that. It’s an achievement I never thought would happen. The company is all about making us safer on the road and care for everyone that walks through the door and hopefully I’ll see you again
Completed my CBT here today, everyone was lovely and so supportive. It was a really nice environment. It’s quite daunting getting on a bike for the first time especially as a women in a predominantly male environment but everyone there were absolutely phenomenal and I felt like I belonged. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone. Special shout out to Karl, Jim, Steve and Lisa 🥰
Not having ridden a bike for 40 years and about to take on the Ho Chi Minh trail in Vietnam on a moped for some unknown reason, my wife demanded I did a refresher. I can’t rate the team at Stoke MT high enough. The instructor was excellent and extremely professional. His instructions were clear and easy to follow. We went out for a ride in the peak district followed by some slow speed manoeuvres to make me safer around town. If you’re a rusty rider or even seized like me, I would definitely recommend the people at Stoke MT 100%. Thank you team.
Just completed my CBT training with Stoke MT, absolutely brilliant experience, many thanks to Ant and Steve for their patience and direction. Really enjoyable and fantastic day. Anyone wanting to take the first step in motorcycle riding use this company, they go the extra mile.
I used Stoke MT for my gear conversion and some training. My instructor Karl was absolutely brilliant and was super friendly and professional – this man knows how to train riders! Lisa was also ace and dealt with everything super smoothly 🙏 I have already booked in my DAS training, looking forward to it 😃
