Basic Motorcycle Course / PGS

Practical basic training is mandatory and must be completed after receiving your learner's permit. Do it early — that way the basics are right from the start and you'll pass the practical exam on your first try.

How the basic course is structured

  • Three course parts of four lessons each, twelve lessons in total
  • Training in a group, on the training ground and in traffic
  • Plus tips on vehicle maintenance and what to do in case of an accident
  • At the end, you get the confirmation to register for the practical exam

The three course parts

Basic Course 1 — Vehicle Operation

Safe bike handling and correct motorcycle operation: starting and stopping, lane positioning, vision technique and your first manoeuvres — up to stopping safely from urban speeds and turning purposefully in traffic.

Basic Course 2 — Riding in Traffic

Start in the theory room with open questions from Part 1. Then turning and cornering, braking from different speeds on the training ground, and a ride in road traffic. Hill starts and group riding are included.

Basic Course 3 — Cornering and Riding Practice

Cornering, braking techniques, speeds, mountain routes and vision technique — first in the theory room, then on private grounds and finally on public roads.
