Not sure which CBT is right for you? Don't worry — we'll guide you every step of the way, based on your experience rather than asking you to decide yourself. MotoJoe runs CBT courses from our DVSA-registered training centre in Bonnyrigg — just 20 minutes from Edinburgh city centre.
All courses include motorcycle hire, helmet, jacket, trousers, gloves, and boots — no kit required.
Motorcycle Experience Session £50
Never ridden a motorcycle before? This is where your motorcycling journey begins.
Choosing the right training course can feel a little daunting. At MotoJoe, we don't believe every new rider should automatically be booked onto the same CBT course. Every rider starts with different experience and confidence levels, so we believe your training should be tailored to you.
That's why we've introduced our Motorcycle Experience Session. This relaxed one-hour session gives you the chance to get comfortable on one of our BMW training motorcycles in a safe and friendly environment, while getting to know the controls and enjoying your very first riding experience.
More importantly, the session gives one of our instructors the opportunity to assess your confidence and ability before recommending the most suitable CBT course for you. Rather than trying to judge someone's previous riding experience over the telephone, we'd much rather see you on a motorcycle and make sure you're booked onto the course best suited to your individual needs.
Following your Motorcycle Experience Session, your instructor will recommend either:
- 1-Day CBT — for riders who demonstrate the confidence and ability to complete their CBT in one day.
- 2-Day CBT Plus — for riders who would benefit from additional coaching, time and confidence building before completing their CBT.
Book either CBT course with us and we'll deduct the full £50.00 Motorcycle Experience Session fee from the cost of your training.
This means you'll never be booked onto a course that's too easy or too advanced – you'll start on the course that's right for you.
The Motorcycle Experience Session is therefore the first step in your motorcycling journey with MotoJoe and ensures every rider starts on the course that's right for them.
Duration: 1 hour | Who it's for: Anyone who has never previously completed a CBT

Whether you've been riding regularly or haven't been on a bike for a while, our instructors will guide you through the required elements of the course, ensuring you're safe, confident and ready to continue your motorcycling journey.
What's included:
- CBT certificate, valid for 2 years
- Refresher on road safety and bike handling
- Friendly, respectful instruction tailored to your level
- Motorcycle hire, helmet, jacket, trousers, gloves, and boots
Duration: 1 full day (approx. 6–7 hours) | Who it's for: Riders with a previously completed, expiring CBT
After your CBT
Once you have your CBT certificate you can ride solo on L-plates for up to 2 years. When you're ready to take the next step, MotoJoe offers a 1-Day Post-CBT Confidence Course to build on your CBT skills, or a full Direct Access Scheme (DAS) course to get your unrestricted motorcycle licence.
