Highly recommend Hotwheelz to get you through your bike test. I did my mod1 & mod2 with them in a matter of weeks. John & Kev were excellent instructors. Cheers guys!

I had a great time getting my CBT on Saturday. John, Kevin and Lisa are so relaxed and friendly, it was easy getting back on a bike again and safely completing the training. I'm looking forward to lessons and mods in the coming weeks. Thank you so much to all three.

At 40, and as a first time rider, it's fair to say I was very nervous in trying to pick up a new skill that I've wanted for a long time. Had my CBT with Steve yesterday and haven't stopped thinking about bikes since. Steve was extremely kind and patient with me, and allowed me to take plenty of breaks to keep cool in the heat. Even the times when I wasn't getting something right or on the verge of losing control of the bike, he kept completely calm and helped me get my composure back, both in the centre and out on the road. I never felt rushed or like we were on the clock which was also important in making me feel as comfortable as I could be. It was also clear to me that the other instructors had great relationships with their riders going for their bigger licences. Everyone was great. Can't wait to get a bike for myself now to get more comfortable with riding so I can go back and get my full licence!

Fantastic Day Completing the CBT. Kev and Steve were fantastic. Teaching important lessons but in a fun and relaxed way. Both worked really well together and gave two helpful perspectives. 100% recommend. I plan on carrying on my training with Kev.

Completed my DAS course with Hotwheelz this morning and cant praise the whole team enough. Highly recommend whether you're looking to get your full licence or just complete your CBT. I went from never riding a motorcycle (only a push-bike as a kid) to having my full unrestricted license in 3 months. This could of been completed in 2 however due to me letting my nerves get the better of me I failed my first Mod1 test. This was to no fault of Hotwheelz. I purchased the bundle of 12 hours which included the CBT, tuition and my Mod1/2 tests. One thing to be mindful of is that any additional lessons/ tests will obviously be at an additional cost. Each lesson is 2 hours long and your tests are classed as 3 of your allotted hours. At the time of writing this an hour is £50.00 (£100.00 min for 2 hours), this includes the supply of a helmet, gloves, a jacket, tuition, bike hire and fuel. Scott was my instructor for the CBT and was a top bloke as well as being a great instructor, helping me get the basics down in the first half of the day before going out on the road for the remainder. The bike and equipment provided was the best I have seen and I have attached a photo of the 125cc Kawasaki to this post for reference. Once I completed the CBT I was able to start working towards my full A license (unrestricted) due to my age and passing my motorcycle theory test. Here I was instructed by both John and Kev who although have very different teaching styles are both very knowledgeable and great at helping you adapt to the larger and heavier bike in their own way (Kawasaki Z650, image attached). Kev has a very relaxed style of teaching and reflects on where you can improve along with demonstrating good practice by taking the lead on various occasions. John will point out errors you make/ bad practice and question why you're riding in a particular way before correcting you, this makes you reflect and dwell more on a mistake which in turn ensures you correct it going forward. Both of their teaching styles benefitted me however others may lean towards one more than the other as they are very different. Something to also consider to others looking to do a DAS course is that this is an experienced level course and your own ability will have an impact on how many hours it will take to pass. I have held a driving license 14+ years so already have experience on the road which allowed me to hit the ground running. As above the tuition was brilliant and I wouldn't look anywhere else.

Passed my full licence yesterday 14/9/23 with Kev. What a fantastic teacher he is. He has the patience of a saint and teaches you properly .. Kev@hotwheelz is highly recommended

Did my CBT with them today. Enjoyed the day, all the staff were friendly and approachable, firm but informative on the road as it should be to keep everyone safe. Wasn’t sure about going straight into lessons on bigger bikes but feel 100% comfortable to do so after today and will be booking myself in. Highly recommend if you’re new to bikes like me.

Completed my CBT yesterday. I can't rate these guys high enough. Nice and informative and a relaxed teaching method. I'd highly recommend using these. I'll be going back to complete my full training

Zero to hero in 6 weeks!! That's all it took me to pass my Mod 1 and 2 at Hotwheelz. Great riding school and brilliant instructors, particularly Kev, who made me feel confident in my ability from my 1st lesson to my last. He is so knowledgeable and approachable and has always got time for you. Passed both mod 1 and 2 first time! Cheers 🙌

Great team of guys. Friendly, helpful, all the rest of it. I did my CBT with them and shortly after did full license lessons. My main instructor was Kev and he was great. I also had John take me to my MOD 2 (the first time, oops I failed). That was all on me doing something silly. Both instructors prepared me really well for both MOD 1 & 2. They were all really supportive throughout my whole time with them. I highly recommend this school. Plus, Kawasaki.

Firm, Fair and Fun 30 years after I first rode a 125, the pandemic convinced me to get back in the saddle and get the full legals. HotWheelz came with a recommendation from a friend, and they were right: detailed observations and helpful comments without being overwhelming; clear and logical explanations for actions and faults; a well-maintained training fleet; praise when appropriate... I don't think I was their worst student, but I turned up with several years of bad habits that John and Kevin managed to tame promptly and with respect. Thank you both for all your help - I still hear your words of wisdom when I approach roundabouts and pass motorway sliproads.

I completed my CBT, MOD 1 and MOD 2 within the space of 4 weeks. Highly recommend John and the team. They didn't try to sell me any unnecessary lessons or courses like a lot of other schools. They just identified area of improvement and gave constant constructive feedback on the lessons I did have to get me ready.

Did my CBT there today having never ridden before, went straight in on a geared 125cc with Scott as the instructor. Had such a good day, was really well paced, Scott was great at teaching me from scratch and by the end I was on the road and feeling confident. Couldn't recommend enough and I'll definitely be back to complete my licence (plus they use brand new Kawasaki's which were awesome).

Passed my MOD 2 with hotwheelz, now! Absolutely fantastic result. It's a fantastic school to learn at, the instructors in all fields know what they're doing. I always recommend people to come here as its just incomparable to other schools. I started my A Licence back in 2021 but had a bad crash. I came back few weeks ago and they made sure I was okay, gave me breaks and honestly went great no real issues with my riding ability. MOD 2 is now booked and will pass it hopefully. 100% if you want to become the better rider come to this place, you won't regret it.

I was a bit nervous having not touched a bike for 5 years but Cookie was great at bringing my confidence up during my CBT. I went on to do lessons with Kev on the 650 bike and have now got my full license via the direct access route. Big thank you to the Hotwheelz team!

John and Kev are excellent instructors with up to date knowledge of the roads. Strongly recommend everyone to use this school to progress through their motorcycle licenses.

"Tiny" was awesome. He assessed both my riding and learning styles and worked tirelessly to get me through Mod 1 with no minors and Mod 2. I was incredibly anxious but Tiny's relaxed methods were perfect for me. I cannot recommend Hotwheelz enough. I had been to 2 other riding schools but it was Tiny who got me through. Massive thanks Tiny. 🎉🏍🎉

Look no further than hotweelz! Went from cbt to passed mod 2 in three months. Was an absolute pleasure to be taught by Tiny and Kev throughout, amazing instructors, really honed my skills and gave me the confidence to ride safely and confidently. John booked everything at my convenience and my pace. Top class stuff guys, thank so much!!! Bikes were all new too, which was great!

Just passed my MOD 2 motorcycle test this morning with John. Couldn’t be happier with the whole process. Was a lot faster than I thought it would go and all the lads at the training school are friendly and encouraging. John is a great instructor and makes the whole experience something to look forward to. Would highly recommend this place for any motorcycle or CBT training. Thanks a lot guys!

I'm in full agreement with all of these glowing 5 star reviews on here. Had my CBT with Tiny showing me the ropes. He was everything an instructor should be; patient, knowledgeable, and taught everything in a fun and informative way. Can't recommend enough. Joel

Just passed my CBT with Tiny. What an enjoyable experience. Instructor was patient, informative and knowledgeable. Took me from total novice to confident beginner in hours. The tour of New Brighton topped off a great day.

I completed my CBT with Tiny and loved every minute. Very relaxed and felt comfortable from the start. Guided me through everything and made the road ride very enjoyable. Concluding the day with a chat to John and Tiny in regards to further bike lessons and progressing onto bigger bikes really shown me the professionalism they provide. Professional, relaxing and friendly. I’m excited to start my lessons and look forward to learning with Hotwheelz.

100% would recommend! Tiny was so patient, helpful and understanding, and I felt so comfortable throughout because of how relaxed his approach was. I am usually so nervous, but he made me feel really confident going out on the road, and the day absolutely flew by because I was so undaunted and having so much fun. Cheers guys so much ☺️

Had an amazing day taught by Stuart, he was really patient and confident and the ride was so much fun on the road. Another guy was asked to come back the next day for more training which gives you peace of mind that they don't just sign off anybody they make sure you ride confidently and safely, couldn't recommend more

Amazing Training experience. Having not touched a bike for 2 years, John was very patient and delivered the training at the pace i needed. From this i accelerated quickly ( Excuse the pun) and was ready to do my Mod 1 & 2 quicker than i thought i would be. Learning on Brand new ( 70 Plate Kawasaki 650) bikes makes the training so much easier. I have already recommend John to my colleagues for their training.

Great as long as you don't require any actual instruction. Instructor was more concerned about what time he could get away. Rushed from the moment we arrived.

Absolutely fantastic is all I can say! From the initial phone call with John, CBT with Tony, my lessons, my mod 1 nerves and to my mod 2 pass, the guys at Hotwheelz put me at ease and gave me fantastic, in-depth training, which was also great fun. Contact was brilliant and I built an instant rapport with them. John was also very honest and told me I didn't require any more lessons, as he is all about getting quality riders on the roads, not fleecing you for every penny. I also had the opportunity to pass my mod 2 on one of their brand new 70 plate Kawasaki 650s, which were a dream to ride. Thank you so much to Hotwheelz for looking after me and teaching me to ride.

What a fantastic day I had doing my CBT training with Tony . Tony has great knowledge and patience. He is very clear and helpful . So much so after my CBT, I started lessons with Tony on a 600cc . Puts a huge smile on my face and to top it all off I pasted my theory test today .So my next step is my mod1 and mod2 ..

I was very pleased with John’s training in my CBT today. He helped me to understand areas to improve in a constructive manner that gave me confidence to progress out on the road. John also gave me the confidence to try a bigger bike despite me only ever riding classic type geared scooters before the day. I feel confident to progress to my full bike licence with Johns help.

I took my CBT with John in April, having never been on a motorbike before. I enjoyed being out riding that day, and having seen John was a competent teacher, I booked in a couple of lessons on a larger bike (Bandit 600). In total I took 6 lessons before my MOD1, and another 2 before my MOD2 (plus riding to the test centre on the day). John is an experienced rider and instructor and knows the DAS course inside out. He was good at picking up on my faults when out riding and making sure that these were addressed – exactly what you want from a teacher. He was able to tell me what other students in the past had found troubling in the test and ensured that I was comfortable in these areas. The bike I was riding was always well maintained and fully-fuelled, and we never had any issues here. I would recommend someone to take lessons with John, whether they were a total beginner or had been riding a while and were wanting to practice for their full licence.

John gave me so much confidence and support today when I did my CBT. Feeling scared and unsure as I had never been on a bike before, I was thinking I would fall off!. How proud of myself, riding from Birkenhead to New Brighton and back. I would very much recommend John. He he an excellent trainer. Again, thank you John.
