Rise up Class A2 or A

Only for students who have already completed class A1, A2 or B with us

Upgrade to class A2 or A

Have you held class A1 or A2 for at least two years? Then you can simply move up one class – without theory, without Special Lessons, just with the practical exam.

The motorcycles you learn on

Training motorcycles

Our models

For your safety and enjoyment, you ride current models. Professional maintenance is a matter of course for us.

These are our training motorcycles – you can see which ones are available at each location under Locations:

  • BMW F800GS
  • Voge R625

Seat height

Standing safely

For safe training, you must be able to reach the road with at least the balls of both feet.

A safe stance depends not only on your height and the seat height, but also on seat width, leg length and thigh circumference.

Arrange a personal seat fitting at the driving school – that way we find the right training motorcycle for you.
