What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Momentum Motorcycle Training operates from the Seamer Sports Association grounds just outside Scarborough, covering the full progression from CBT through the practical modules to direct access. Reviewers repeatedly mention passing both practical tests on the first attempt following structured, well-paced tuition, with Nick, Ash, Tom, Dean and Adam named as instructors who combine patience with clear, calm explanations.

Several accounts describe riders with additional needs or heightened nerves being put at ease, with off-bike briefing used to build confidence before anyone gets moving. A theme that recurs is guidance extending beyond the immediate test, including advice on timing a full licence application so as to avoid unnecessary extra training. Returning and older riders mention feeling supported at their own pace rather than rushed, and some describe the entire direct access journey being completed within a couple of months from start to finish.

The instructing team is portrayed as approachable and good humoured, helping newcomers feel included as part of the group rather than treated as passing customers. Several reviewers also praise the smoothness of booking tests promptly once training was underway. Weekday sessions run from mid-morning to late afternoon, with earlier Saturday availability suiting those unable to attend during the week, while the site remains closed on Sundays.

All the lads were brilliant - Ash, Dean and Adam - really put you at ease, boost your confidence and give you what you need to be safe and secure on the road. Adam is now my hero. In fact hero is too limited of a word - he is the obi wan to my Anakin. Thanks so much

Since I started training with my CBT about 2 months ago I have had no complaints whatsoever about the way the team that I've dealt with has handled my progress. Nick, George, Brett and Ash have all been incredibly patient, understanding and helpful as well as incredibly knowledgeable on what my shortcomings have been in my progression and have a keen eye for detail when it comes to the mistakes you make, they are also incredibly knowledgeable about how to rectify these errors. They work equal parts tirelessly and professionally and you can really see the passion that comes through in their teaching. I started training for my MOD 1 about a month ago and have my test coming up soon and would highly recommend their services, they will see you through the entire process at a pace you are fully comfortable with and even make adjustments and help as necessary, they will not send you out before you feel ready and they will make sure that you are armed with all the knowledge and skills to do so. Again I would highly recommend Momentum Motorcycles if not for their professionalism and knowledge when it comes to teaching and riding motorcycles, then most certainly for the camaraderie, personalities and friendly nature the instructors have.

Absolutely couldn’t recommend this place more! The trainers are spot on, really professional and friendly. I did my CBT, MOD1 and MOD2 with them and the process was so smooth and they even managed to get me booked in for tests very quickly. If you want a hassle free process and proper teaching then look no further than these guys. Oh and I passed first time 😎 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I would definitely reccomend these guys for training. I had never rode a bike before, only been pillion and had this grand idea to try learn in secret to get my full licence before my wedding in June. I was a bit apprehensive being a female learning to ride but didn't need to be at all as they put me at ease and treat me just the same. From March they managed to get me through my CBT, mod 1 and mod 2, passing just 3 days before my wedding. Thank you so much!

Absolutely loved my experience with this riding school. From the very first CBT, I felt safe and  supported on the road. All of the instructors were incredibly friendly, patient, and professional. You can really tell they’ve been doing this for years — they have a great instinct for understanding each student individually and knowing exactly how much time and attention someone needs to progress comfortably and confidently. What I appreciated the most was how much they genuinely cared about making the whole journey enjoyable. Every lesson felt encouraging and stress-free, and they created such a positive atmosphere that learning became something I looked forward to. Their scheduling was very flexible and they always tried to make things work for us. Me and my friend were doing our licences together, and they arranged our exams one after another on the same day, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable and memorable for both of us. I would highly recommend this school to anyone thinking about starting their motorcycle journey — you’ll be in very safe hands. Big thanks to the whole team, and hopefully see you on the road 🏍

I’ve been with these guys through all of my training, from CBT to full licence. CBT was perfect and everything you need as a new rider, I even received advise from the instructor to wait a year before doing my next tests as I will be eligible for a full licence then - saved me £700! I completed both my Module 1 and Module 2 with them first time this year - the whole process from calling them to arrange lessons to getting my licence took only 2 months! They look after you, book your test, communicate it with you and even send you a ‘what3words’ location so you know exactly where the test centres are! 5* simply isn’t enough! They’re spot on! Incredible value for money, great bikes to learn on, all the knowledge and experience you could wish for and a great sense of humour making you feel relaxed and confident! I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Done direct access with momentum from start too finish in less than 8 weeks from cbt too mod1 too mod2. Cannot fault Nick and Ash real good instructors, can have a laugh with them and feel conformable whilst learning everything needed, would highly recommend.
