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.

"I had never operated a motorcycle before and this beginner class was excellent. Bob and Jiri did a phenomenal job with teaching and repeating the basics to keep everyone safe and feeling confident as we advanced through the weekend. The exercises progressed in a very manageable way that allowed the whole group to build the muscle memory needed to react in the desired way..."
― Maura Knowles
"Bob and Forest were the instructors for my class in September and they did such an amazing job! Nice fellas but very serious about the business of teaching the fundamentals of riding. I've taken an endorsement class before, in another state and have riding experience. I will say that the content of this course was very detailed with an emphasis on safety and defensive riding and the instructors really drove the necessary messages home..."
― Anna Martin
"I appreciated how thorough it was. You could come in with zero knowledge and experience and the instruction was relevant to both newbies and experienced riders. There was camaraderie and a sense of being all on the same team that also just made it fun."
