Frequently asked questions
The most common questions about experience, class size, schedules, equipment and booking.
Do I need any riding experience?
No experience is required for the Crash Course or Complete Beginner Combo. Road Coaching is designed for riders who can already start, stop, balance and control a scooter.
How long is each class?
The Crash Course lasts approximately 1.5 hours. Road Coaching lasts approximately 2 hours. The Complete Beginner Combo includes both sessions.
How many students are in a standard class?
A standard class currently has a maximum of three students so the instructor can still give each rider proper attention and feedback.
Can I book a Private 1-to-1 class?
Yes. Private 1-to-1 means one student with one dedicated instructor. It is available for the Crash Course, Road Coaching and Complete Beginner Combo.
Can the Complete Beginner Combo be completed in one day?
The combo is normally arranged as two separate sessions. Same-day training may be possible depending on your starting time, instructor availability and conditions. Please arrange this with us on WhatsApp.
What should I wear?
Wear comfortable clothes, closed shoes and preferably long trousers. We provide a suitable helmet for the lesson.
Do I need a driving licence?
No driving licence is required for the 50cc scooter used during our public-road coaching. Riders must be at least 16 years old and follow Vietnamese traffic rules. If you plan to ride a larger motorbike after the class, separate licence requirements may apply.

Training takes place in and around Hoi An. The exact meeting point and lesson plan are confirmed after booking based on the selected program.
