Train for Success

Ride-Tek MTA strongly recommends that you take the appropriate training course before attempting the testing. We have an almost 100% success rate for its course participants. On the other hand, there is a very low success rate for riders who attempt the testing without taking the RideTek training course. Save yourself time, money and inconvenience and get it right the first time by taking a RideTek MTA Training Course.

All tests and training are conducted on our fleet of Honda, Daelim, Sachs and Arqin Motorcycles and Scooters.

These exercises are used to objectively measure the minimum riding skills required of applicants for a motorcycle driver licence. Specifically, it is an off-street test designed to assess basic motorcycle control, turning speed judgement and hazard avoidance skills.

 


Exercise 1A - Left Curve

During this exercise you must accelerate from a stop and ride through the curve as quickly as you safely can (1A to 1B). Penalty points will be assessed according to the speed travelled through the curve and if a path violation occurred. This exercise tests your ability to determine an acceptable speed on curves.
