Just recently passed my full bike test with these guys can’t thank them enough for their help and support they are extremely experienced in what they do and will help you no matter what your skill level is. I started the year doing a CBT with Tony he was very helpfully and went above and beyond on advising me my next steps for this journey, then went on to MOD 1 training with Dom and Bomber they helped me get through MOD 1 test no issue, further went on to MOD 2 training with Bomber he fine detailed everything and gave advise i will always remember. DOM took me to MOD 2 on the day and gave some final training and words of advise this leaded to a Pass first time on the day, credit to these guys I would highly recommend Ride4Life !!
The training program was amazing, the staff so knowledgeable and supportive. Would highly recommend to anyone who doesn’t want to get ripped off. They put me through CBT, MOD 1 and MOD 2!
I had a great day at Ride 4 Life York as an older returning rider doing a CBT. The staff were knowledgeable and professional but also made the CBT course fun, their patience and teaching skills were really good. A great day out and top result guys, thanks.
Did my CBT with them! Rod is a phenomenal instructor very professional and welcoming. All the instructors I met were wonderful too. Definitely plan to come back to get my full license in the future. They are the real deal.
AMAZING! I did my CBT, mod1 and mod2 with ride 4 life and couldnt have asked for anything more from a bike school. Each instructor has a different way of teaching which i found to be very beneficial. Dom was my instructor for mod1 and he was awesome! His chilled out personality meant that practicing the skills didnt feel pressured and he always had the best tips! Bomber was my instructor for mod2 and made sure we got plenty of road time! He was very patient and knowledgable, and always checked in on us during rides. A lovely group of guys that are fantastic instructors as well as being genuine people! A brilliant way to enter the world of 'Big bikes'! Thank you! :)
Genuinely couldn’t recommend enough. My instructor Rob made the bitterly cold rain feel like it was nothing. He was extremely knowledgeable and made us all feel so comfortable with his contagious humour. Really pleased to have used these guys. Thanks again 🙏
I am so thankful for Ride 4 Life for creating such a supportive learning environment. I did my CBT with them and then later did my A2 Mod1 and Mod2 lessons. I had no motorbike or road experience. Bomber did most of my lessons with me and he was incredibly patient with me even when I was finding it hard. As a young woman, I felt safe, understood, and respected by all the staff. I'm quite short but their Kawasaki Z650 was manageable for me. Bomber inspired me to keep trying and I now have my very own bike :) Thank you so much to all the team and all their kindness and support 💜 P.S. as a student without a car or motorcycle it's not the easiest place to get to, but the flexibility of your schedule is an advantage! There are two bus routes from town that can get you there, or it is very manageable on a bicycle. P.P.S. attached are pictures of me on the bike I learnt on, and another of me with Stevie, my own bike!
