About Us

WHY CHOOSE BIKEWISE FOR YOUR MOTORCYCLE JOURNEY?

There are several motorcycle training organisations to choose from, with a varying range of costs. But ask yourself why go to a particular school. True, they all have instructors and motorcycles, but what else?

Here at BikeWise we pride ourselves on our professional, yet friendly, comfortable environment. Creating an informal atmosphere for all candidates. We only have qualified instructors for all aspects of tuition. Did you know that if you undertake a 125cc training you need not be in the custody of a qualified instructor? Here at BikeWise we welcome you to ask for our instructors ‘Certificate of Authorisation’, which has to be carried by all instructors whilst providing tuition.

We believe that we provide true value for money. All tuition/courses can be booked and secured well in advance.

At BikeWise our buildings are dedicated to our candidates. We have an ‘open house’ environment, even after you’ve passed your test.

We provide helmets, jackets, and gloves for all of our candidates. So all you have to do is bring yourself along and leave the worry behind.

We have the latest motorcycles available for your use whilst doing your training, including Lexmoto Echo moped’s, up to mighty Kawasaki z650’s, all maintained to the highest standard.

These are only a few reasons why you should train with BikeWise. Why not arrange a visit? See the difference for yourselves, the coffee is always on the go.

Meet the Instructors

Rob Wright
BikeWise Instructor

Although Rob has always wanted to ride motorbikes because he is a guitar player, four wheels was the only sensible option for carting his ‘Fender’ about. However, at the age of 40 the desire was too much and Rob passed his test first time at Lichfield test centre. “My first bike, a Yamaha Fazer 600, was actually owned by the training school I was trained at, which was somehow comforting knowing how much mileage it had done with many learners (soft lad!) Since then I’ve had another Fazer and Diversion from new, and am currently riding a Suzuki Vstrom 650 which is a great all rounder.” Rob has been an instructor for over 10 years,  taking a year out in 2013 due to regular gigs with a function band, but he soon got itchy for horsepower and bike training. Since then he has been with Bikewise and is proud to have provided quality training to many of our customers.

Rob admits to not being into group riding but loves the solitary feeling of riding alone in that jungle of roads. Rob says, “ Remember that armed with the correct tuition, you’ll always be upright and between the kerbs, get home safely and enjoy the buzz of knowing you did in Wright 😊 / right.”
