It is not essential to have any motorcycle riding experience. However, there is a prerequisite that students must be able to ride a bicycle. Students must have the ability to balance and stabilize a two-wheeled vehicle. If you have not ridden a bicycle in a long time, it could be a good idea to get some practice before attempting to ride a motorcycle.
