Two Wheels Motorcycle Training

Two Wheels Motorcycle Training is a Honda Approved School of Motorcycling. It has been offering motorcycle training since 1991 and has trained over 7,000 new riders. Training is provided for Edinburgh and the Lothians. The school has an on-site training area adjacent to the Training School that is not accessed by other vehicles.

It offers a one-hour taster lesson conducted off-road with a fully qualified instructor, a three-hour Back to Biking course starting on a 125cc motorcycle and potentially finishing with on-road riding on a 750cc motorcycle, and an intensive motorcycle training course typically running Friday to Sunday, with each day's training from 08:00 to around 12:00. The motorcycle and insurance are provided for the intensive course; helmets are not provided, but assistance with jackets and gloves is available. The first attempt at the Module 1 and Module 2 tests is included in the intensive course fee. Training for Category A1 tests or preparation for A2 or A courses can be arranged upon request, and a Progressive Access Course takes a candidate from one motorcycle category to the next.

Two Wheels was founded in 1977 as a motorcycle parts and repair shop on Dalkeith Road, entered motorcycle retail in 1979 following the acquisition of an MZ franchise, and was appointed as an authorised Honda dealer in 1986. It is described as Scotland's largest Honda dealer, with workshop service works performed by Honda factory-trained technicians. It hosts regular events and ride-outs throughout the year. Training includes taster sessions and courses taking riders from novice to full licence holder.

Trust in the instructors' guidance stands out as the clearest thread running through feedback for this Peffermill Road motorcycle training provider. Riders describe being asked to follow instructions precisely, even when techniques feel unnatural at first, and the results speak for themselves once that advice is followed rather than second-guessed. Instructors Fraser and Jack are named directly, with praise for their patience and thorough knowledge of what pupils need to work on, particularly when nerves or bad habits get in the way of progress. One account details passing both tests first time after a few days of training, crediting the methods used and the instructors' willingness to stick with a learner through a difficult patch.

Separately, a visitor buying a motorbike noted straightforward, no-appointment service on the day, suggesting the operation is easy to deal with beyond formal training bookings. Across the feedback, the consistent message is that sticking closely to the instructors' method, rather than relying on instinct, is what makes the training effective. The Edinburgh premises on Peffermill Road serves as the base for this instruction, with reviewers repeatedly pointing to the reliability of the coaching methods as the reason for successful outcomes on test day.
