Course Detail
eRider Intermediate is a half-day course for riders who already know how to get underway, turn, shift and stop a motorcycle. The course builds fundamental street-riding skills and strategies.
The online classroom, done at home on a computer, takes four to six hours to complete. Four hours of range (on-cycle) instruction are provided. Training motorcycles 125-250 cc and DOT helmets are provided, or students may use their own. For riders familiar with motorcycle controls and comfortable using a computer, this is the recommended course. Courses with traditional classroom are also available.
The online classroom is highly interactive, using video and other features to address risk management, riding gear, riding strategy, roadway management, impairments and special riding situations like carrying passengers and group riding. Range (on-cycle) instruction includes low-speed balance and control, emergency braking, countersteering, cornering and swerving. Participants complete online Chapters 1 and 2 (riding gear and motorcycle controls) before the first riding session. Students who have not completed Chapters 1 and 2 may be dismissed from class.
