Westside Motorcycle Academy - Inglewood, California

Mike Revah

Just completed the motorcycle course with zero prior experience. I attribute my success largely to Kevin and Bob’s encouraging, friendly, and positive instruction, I learned to start, maneuver, turn, brake, shift gears, perform evasive maneuvers, and control the bike in turns ect. Their clear and supportive teaching made all the difference. The hands-on practice was excellent, and the environment was great. Overall, I am very satisfied with the course and feel confident in my basic riding skills. Nice fact is there is a $100 discount for any future course.

This was the best motorcycle class experience I've ever been a part of. I would recommend this school for anyone who has a desire to ride legally. The instructors are on point and experienced. I give them ten stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Amazing staff/trainers at Westside Motorcycle Academy. Learn very important safety rules & skills as a beginner rider. This class gave me the confidence to ride more comfortable by applying the safety & skills knowledge they set in the course. Thank you , Bob & Elliot for guidance and tips given! Really recommend them ! Amazing crew!!! Looking forward to come back for the advance course soon!

Had the best time ever at Westside Motorcycle Academy, and just got my license only three days after completing the course! They have such a great team and cover a lot of ground in a few short days. I felt really supported each step of the way and am feeling informed and confident, and excited to get out there and ride (safely)!

Erika was a great communicator before, during, and after and made sure I had everything I needed prior to the course starting. After passing the course, she ensured I got my paperwork day-of so I could go to the DMV first thing the next week and has offered to continue to be a resource should questions arise in the future.

Kevin & Bob were awesome instructors who really paid attention to each individual rider to ensure we got the feedback we needed to improve our riding. I was so impressed that every single student was independently riding their bikes within the first hour of the class. So cool!

Carl covered a huge amount of material in the online class. Between his instruction and the written information provided, I was able to pass the DMV written test on my first try.

My classmates were wonderful as well, with a great mix of experience and backgrounds. I was glad to have other women in the class and look forward to finding & building my own riding community moving forward!

The trainers at the Westside motorcycle safety academy are a group of OUSTANDING!!! Kevin, Carl the (test proctor) I believe that’s his name, and bob did an absolutely fantastic job of teaching the basics on how to ride a motorcycle. They were patient, and very knowledgeable on how to ride a motorcycle. I have ZERO regrets, I’d strongly recommend Westside academy to anyone who is looking to get some top tier motorcycle training!!!

Thank you guys!!!

I want to rewrite my original post
THIS COURSE IS NOT FOR NEWBIES! As a complete beginner, I was lost from the very beginning. With 12 students in the class and barely any time to practice, most of it was spent just trying to find the friction zone and keeping the bike running. You might think it's not the instructors' fault — but they ignored me every time I asked for help (three times in total). Instead of explaining my mistakes or offering guidance, they just told me to practice more and retake the course.

I've called and emailed multiple times with no response. Only after posting my review did I receive two calls. Honestly, you'd learn a lot more from watching YouTube videos. I hope the money I paid at least goes toward fixing those expired plates and getting insurance. They need to start practicing what they preach.

!!! DO NOT ENROLL !!! And you claim there's false information? Really? And saying that riding a motorcycle may not be the best choice for me? Seriously? That's insulting. You should understand that every person learns differently.

This was such a great experience.

Kevin and Bob the instructors at the safety riding course were absolute gems and I didn’t feel awkward asking questions or even pausing on my bike when I didn’t feel confident to move forward when I had questions.

I have ridden little groms over the years with friends for fun but wanted to do this right and get comfortable being on the road. 5-6 years ago I went to a different motorcycle school that wasn’t West Side and the instructors felt I wasn’t teachable (dropped the bike during the serpentine and was given a bike much too heavy and tall for my 5’2 self) and got cut immediately on the first day.

I was nervous but hopeful coming into this new school, and the awesome Erika recommended this school and I was so happy I took her advice a year later.

So! Here we are now: ready and more confident and settled in myself.

I passed the class and can’t wait to finally get out there and ride with my family and friends. Very thankful for the patience of the instructors and the heavy informative online classes that Carl had in the evenings. I highly recommend this school - things felt tailored to each student and I felt I got great feedback. Thanks you guys I’ve been wanting to do this for years and super stoked that I had the instructors that I did.

Bicycler turned motorcyclist in one weekend. Took the 3 day course. Well worth it! Instructors were knowledgable and good to work with. Made me feel comfortable and confident on the motorcycle from day 1. The course breaks skills down piece by piece and you do them over and over to get better at them. Worked for me!
