There’s no age limit for learning to ride. On Your Bike in Thelwall, Warrington is an adult-friendly motorcycle training centre that has helped riders of every age — from 17-year-olds doing their first CBT to people in their 60s finally making the move they’ve been planning for years.
Adult Motorcycle Training — What We Offer
- CBT for adult beginners — one day, from £225. All bikes, helmet and jacket included. The legal first step for any new rider.
- Direct Access Scheme (DAS) — for adults aged 24+ who want to skip years of L-plates and go straight to a full, unrestricted Category A licence. Typically 5–7 days.
- A2 Licence Training — for riders aged 19–23 who want a full licence within power restrictions.
- Refresher Riding — returning to motorcycling after years off the bike? We rebuild your confidence at your pace.
Why Adults Choose On Your Bike
Adult learners have different needs to teenagers. You may have more road awareness but less free time. You may feel excited but also a little nervous about picking up a completely new skill. Our instructors understand that. Training is patient, structured and never rushed — you progress when you’re ready.
- Complete beginners welcome at any age
- Flexible weekday and weekend scheduling
- Patient DVSA-qualified instructors
- All equipment included — no kit required
- Small groups — you’re not lost in a crowd
Why Adults Start Riding
- Cut commuting costs — a 125cc costs a fraction of a car to run
- Beat the traffic — motorcycles can use lanes that cars can’t
- Lifelong goal — finally doing what you always wanted
- Weekend freedom — motorcycling as a hobby and escape
- Career change — delivery, courier or other professional riding
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there an upper age limit?
No upper age limit. You need a valid provisional licence, to be at least 17, and to pass a basic eyesight check. Adults of all ages train with us every week.
Can I do CBT with zero experience?
Yes — CBT is for complete beginners. Training starts in a safe off-road area and only moves to public roads once you’re ready.
I want a full licence straight away — is that possible?
If you’re 24 or over, the Direct Access Scheme (DAS) takes you from CBT to a full Category A licence in 5–7 days
