The business is based at the Scottish Motorbike Centre in East Kilbride, Glasgow.

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Opening hours running from 8am to 6pm every day of the week make this East Kilbride provider easy to reach for CBT, A2 licence work and Direct Access preparation, with pupils also progressing on to module one and two testing. Gordon, Ryan and Stuart are each named by different riders, credited with a calm, encouraging manner suited to nervous beginners and older learners, including someone returning to biking after a long break, who found an introductory session and a longer road ride worthwhile before committing to a new machine.

A short session ahead of the full CBT day is mentioned as helpful for easing nerves and building basic bike control before heading onto the roads. Extra time is added to training when confidence still needs work, rather than pupils being rushed through regardless.

Several riders report clearing both practical test modules on their first attempt, crediting steady support throughout, and a point raised more than once is a genuine enthusiasm for motorcycles coming through in how lessons are delivered. Some have travelled from Glasgow specifically to train here, suggesting a reach beyond East Kilbride itself. Given the seven-day availability and the spread from CBT through to Direct Access, fitting sessions around other commitments is described as straightforward.

Can't thank the guys at Harleys enough. Especially Ryan amd Gordon who got me through my CBT, Mod 1 and Mod 2 on the first attempt.And also to Sran for calming any nerves I had before my Mod 1 and Mod 2 tests. I literally can't believe I put it off for so long. I would absolutely recommend Harleys Rider Training for anybody thinking about doung their bike test.

Did my CBT last Wednesday couldn’t be happier with the team. Informative, safe, helpful and patient. Thanks to Stuart who delivered the CBT and to the rest of the team for the valued expertise, time and efforts. You can see their passion for motorbikes it shines through. I’ll be back for my DAS at some point

Massive thanks to Gordon my instructor, taught me some great riding techniques and made me a safer rider in the process preparing me for my full license. I went onto pass both Mod 1 & 2 first time 😁.The guys in the office even managed to get me a late cancellation on the day of my mod 2 practice to go for the mod 2 test that same day. Would definitely recommend harleys to start your CBT through to gaining your full license. Thanks again guys 👍

I completed my A2 licence with Harley’s Rider Training and they were absolutely brilliant from start to finish. My instructor, Gordon, was great — he helped me through everything and always reassured me whenever I made a mistake. The school even gave me a few extra hours of training as I wasn’t feeling fully ready yet, which really showed how much they care about their riders. Couldn’t recommend them enough — 11/10 experience.

Coming back to riding after a 25 year break did the free lesson to refresh on the basics and check I really did want to get back on a bike, then a 3 hour road session with Gordon in the rain. Both sessions were brilliant - will be back to do the advanced course once I have got a new bike. Cannot recommend Harley's highly enough.
