3 Wheel Basic Course
Made for current riders —
Made for anyone who wants to enjoy the fun of riding WITHOUT worrying about balancing on two-wheels… and for those who realize it’s time to go from two-to-three wheels! No matter your reason, Pelican State Motorcycle Training has a trike class for you. If you have your own trike, you can ride it. See why so many riders are triking!
The questions below are asked all the time. If you don’t see your question, please contact us and ask one of our instructors.
Ride date
Do I need my own 3 wheeler? Yes
Do I need any motorcycle or 3 wheeler experience? No experience necessary… the program starts with basics and just keeps building using great riding techniques.
How long is the course? This is a two day class. We start on Friday evening from 5:30 – 9:30 PM (bike is NOT needed on Friday evening). Saturday class starts at 7:30 am until 5 pm.
What does it cost?$245 per rider.
How do I get into a class?You register on-line, and become part of the 3W Rider Pool. When RidingSafety schedules a class, you will be emailed and provided the date. If the scheduled date works for you, you accept the date and pay your tuition fee to secure a slot in the class — it is that simple.
What do I get when it’s done?A MSF (Motorcycle Safety Foundation) Completion Card — proof of training that is honored by most insurance companies for a discount on your motorcycle insurance premium. You also leave a better rider — with new techniques, a heightened awareness of motorcycling hazards, and more capability to defend yourself against them.
Anything else?Yes, come expecting to have fun and learn to get comfortable maneuvering your 3 wheel motorcycle.
