What It Is

MotoJoe Learn 2Ride Scotland is an in-person motorcycle training provider based in Bonnyrigg, Scotland, about 15 minutes from Edinburgh city centre. It focuses on a complete pathway from absolute beginner to full licence. According to the website, it offers CBT, CBT renewal, DAS, road confidence, return-to-riding, and Post-DAS advanced courses, making it suitable for motorcycle learners at different stages.

Core Courses and Experience

Its course structure is fairly clear: complete beginners can choose the 2-Day CBT Plus, with the first day spent building handling confidence on the training ground and the second day riding on the road. Upon completion, learners receive a CBT certificate valid for 2 years. Those with prior experience or needing to renew can choose the 1-Day CBT Renewal. Learners preparing for an A2 or full A licence can take the 5-Day Direct Access Scheme, and the text clearly states that Mod 1 and Mod 2 test fees are included. Students who still lack road confidence after CBT or DAS can opt for the Road Confidence or Post-DAS Confidence courses. All courses include a motorcycle, helmet, jacket, trousers, gloves, and boots, which is beginner-friendly.

Pricing

Pricing is relatively transparent: CBT Renewal and Road/Post-DAS Confidence are £195, 2-Day CBT Plus is £400, Back to Riding is £250, and the 5-Day DAS is £1,250. For practical motorcycle training in the UK, the inclusion of both gear and a motorcycle improves overall value, especially since the DAS course also states that test fees are included.

Pros and Cons

The advantages are its complete course progression, real-road training focus, and coverage of quiet roads, dual carriageways, and city routes. The instructors are DVSA-qualified, and the school emphasizes small groups and patient guidance. The downsides are that the main website content does not disclose specific course schedules, refund/rescheduling policies, test pass rates, motorcycle models, or the size of the instructor team. It also does not clarify enrollment requirements for overseas learners or non-UK licence holders.

Who It’s For

It is suitable for learners living in Edinburgh and central Scotland who want in-person motorcycle training. It is especially suitable for complete beginners, those whose CBT is expiring, learners preparing for the DAS full licence test, and newly licensed riders who want to build real-road experience.

Access from China

Accessibility from mainland China cannot be determined from the main website content, so it is marked as unknown. Since the courses are local in-person services in Scotland, Chinese users would mainly find it relevant as a local training option while living or studying in the UK.
