Under the direction of skilled instructors, each student is coached through maneuvers until both student and instructor are satisfied with the progress. Students will be trained using their own trike or sidecar with proof of insurance. Students will take a written and skills test during the course, the successful completion of this course enables riders to receive their Colorado 3-wheel motorcycle endorsement with no further testing at the Colorado DOR.

"The beginner course was PHENOMENAL. I had no previous experience and left feeling ready to ride. Peter was such a great teacher fun and light when appropriate but also serious when called for. An A+ company."
