Completed my CBT course here yesterday and wanted to thank Shane and Lee for being great trainers. Having never been on the road (motorcycle or car), they really put me at ease and gave me the confidence to get out there. Really enjoyed the day and hope to be back someday soon to complete my test. Would totally recommend Wilsons Rother Ride 👍

If you want to learn to ride a motorbike, I wouldn’t bother looking anywhere else. The team at RotherRide are an all round great group of people & I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to any of my family or friends. Whether it’s for a CBT, Moony was brilliant & the day with him was enjoyable and not at all stressful. My Goal was to complete my full licence & decide that the Pre-CBT was the best was to go to build confidence riding a manual motorbike - I really enjoyed it. Prior to 28th February i had never being on a bike & Tuesday 14th May I was successful in completing the MOD2 test on first attempt. Was i nervous before my test YES! (Nick with tell you that 100%!!) but over the last 2 months I was given first class tuition from both Gaz & Nick who teach in their own personable ways! this gave me the confidence to know it was achievable! Special thanks to Sam for making it work really well around my work schedule too. Thanks again to you all! Craig

Absolutely fantastic team working here, make you feel very welcome and comfortable. I passed my CBT today and having never ridden a bike I was a complete novice. The team were very understanding and patient and most importantly no question was a stupid one! I will absolutely be doing my direct access licence with them when I can! Brilliant couldn't fault them 🥰 Thank you Rother Ride I can't wait to start my biking journey!

Well to start off with I cannot give this place less than 5 stars, if there was an option for more I’d give it. This place is truly amazing and the staff are just out of this world! I did my CBT on 19/05/23 and I ended up passing. My instructor Moonie was absolutely amazing with me! He saw my potential and stuck with me knowing I struggled with the bike to start with. I’d never been on a bike before and Moonie took his time to teach me everything I need to know, he kept complementing me on my driving and how well I was doing. I also achieved an impossible for me. Passing first time never being on a bike before, (I’ll still be proud of that till I die), I can’t say a bad word about these guys because they’re so lovely and chill, you can just be yourself around them. I’ll definitely be coming back for my full license! Especially when Moonie said he could see me as a full rider no problem😉 Just want to say a big thank you and I’ll be sending everyone I know your way!

Started my journey with the cbt in November and now hold a full A licence as of last week. The tuition from start to finish has been excellent from all of the instructors. Really down to Earth people that make learning fun and you can have a good laugh at the same time. Sam does an excellent job booking your lessons and tests around your busy schedules, so top marks there. Overall excellent riding school, highly recommended 10/10.

Completed direct access course from complete beginner to getting full bike license. From start to finish it has been absolutely amazing. From cbt with mooney who was a brilliant guy and taught us how to ride essentially. Then moving up to 125’s with nick who was brilliant in putting his years of experience into our riding. Then finishing up on the 600’s with the owner gaz who is absolutely spot on, going up to big bikes is scary but he taught us to ride confidently and professionally, with me and my friend both passing Mod 1 & Mod 2 on the 1st attempts which is incredible! Thanks again guys! Ride safe!

Thoroughly enjoyed today doing my CBT here Moonie my instructor was knowledgeable and delivered the training in a friendly manner that put me right at ease. I can't wait to gain more experience on my own bike and will not think twice about heading back to Wilson's Rother Ride to do my direct access training.

I honestly cannot say anything nice enough to Gary, Sam and the team at Wilson’s, it is a lovely family run business and they treat you like family the moment you walk through the door. I took my direct access and I had two lessons and passed my Mod 1, and two lessons and then passed my Mod 2. Gary is very down to Earth and will give you the best advice to make you the best rider you can be, but he will still have a laugh with you and make you feel comfortable. Sam was able to sort out my days when personal matters or the weather got in the way with no fuss, told me what my new days were, and even reminded me of when my lessons were so I didn’t forget. Cannot recommend Wilson’s Rother Ride enough. I only wish I had done my CBT with them as well. Thanks guys!!!

Massive thanks to Gary and his team at rother ride, passed my bike test today thanks to the fantastic guidance and instruction that is in abundance at rother ride. This is a brilliant family run business. Made welcome from the minute you walk through the door and treat like family not a client. Anybody considering doing any sort of bike training from cbt to direct access,I can not recommend these guys enough.

Recently passed my full bike license having no previous riding experience, I passed both mod 1 & mod 2 with no faults!!! This is all thanks to Gaz being an excellent instructor with endless knowledge about riding. Gaz is patient, calm and friendly. He explained everything thoroughly with simple instructions. Also a big thanks to Sam for arranging tests & lessons through a difficult time (covid-19). Sam is also very helpful, knowledgable and nothing is too much trouble. I'd highly recommend Rother Ride to anyone who wants to learn to ride. Great experience from start to finish. Thanks again

Gary and his team do a fantastic job down at WRR. Knowledgeable, but with a friendly atmosphere you won't find a better bike school.

As a complete novice, I had a great experience working up to and passing my full license and would highly recommend. Gary is a paitent, consistent instructor who will not let you develop bad habits, and importantly makes you learn and laugh about the mistakes you inevitably make. Sam is a knowledgeable and friendly face in the office and great source of information. My awkward work routine meant lots of scheduling and re-scheduling, which was managed no problem.

The team at Rother Ride were really helpful and knowledgeable. The important thing is safety, not whether you pass your test or not and Rother Ride really make sure that you're safe, not just that you'll pass your test.
