Apex Cycle Education

Using your own motorcycle (or one of Apex's training bikes), you'll put into practice the techniques of managing traction, stopping quickly, cornering and swerving. If you haven’t purchased a motorcycle yet, or you have, but are not comfortable riding it on the street in traffic, Apex is offering additional riding practice in a controlled environment (parking lot) under the professional supervision of Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) certified RiderCoaches, who are also members of the Virginia Rider Training Program (VRTP), and Maryland Motorcycle Safety Program. This is not the Basic RiderCourse, and there is no motorcycle license issued upon completion.

Apex Cycle Education offers the Evergreen Sidecar/Trike Education Program (S/TEP) at 3 convenient locations in the State of Virginia. We are also the best choice for Washington DC residents to take this required course. Most of you are here because you are interested in getting your 3 wheel motorcycle license. It is always a good idea to double check with your location Department of Motor Vehicles to make sure you know all the requirements to get your license. Feel free to give us a call with any questions - 571-201-7661.
