Probike Training

Just updating my review having completed my CBT, Mod1 and Mod2 with the guys at Probike. Passed first time and loved every minute. I cannot rate these chaps highly enough. Trust them, they know their stuff. Particularly Nev who inspired so much calm confidence. If only Google allowed 6* reviews!

Me and my son had CBT at Probike. The first impression was not great, but overall experience was very nice. It all depends on the instructor. I wasn't lucky with the first instructor. His way of teaching didn't work for me. As a result I was stressed out, could not concentrate on the training and left in the middle of the day. However, this problem was sorted out by the owner of Probike. I was offered another day with another instructor (no extra charge) and he was brilliant! J Seabrook is a very professional instructor who created great atmosphere for the training, noticed all the mistakes immediately and helped to get rid of them within minutes. He was supportive, positive and kind, well organised and efficient. As it was my first experience riding a geared motorbike I was worried about my ability to ride in the town traffic. Mr Seabrook made this experience truly enjoyable as well as very useful for my future independent riding. Looking for my first motorbike now and planning to get full licence within a year.PS. On the picture another amazing instructor from Probike who kindly offered his amazzzzing Harley for a short photo shoot :)

I was already a CBT licence holder before I started my journey with ProBike, with the intention of getting my full bike licence with them. 3 days training then MOD 1 and then subsequently MOD 2.I had never been on a bigger bike than a 125cc. On my first day of training, I was on a 125cc practising in ProBikes training area. Slalom, figure of eight, bike handling, slow riding, and the U turn! After a short while we went out on the road and got onto a bigger bike and had 3 good days of riding.The bikes and instructors are top quality. If ever I had a question regarding something for my upcoming test, they could answer. All staff were really helpful, knowledgeable and supportive. I had picked up some bad habits along the way, whilst riding on my CBT licence, but ProBike instructors soon sorted that out. Due to the time of year I started, I had a few cancellations on my MOD 1 due to the weather. Completely out of the hands of ProBike. ProBike were quick to get me onto the next available test at no extra cost, because I had purchased the insurance for ‘test cancellations’ which I would 100% recommend for winter riders, and with the strikes happening from the bike examiners.I am pleased to say that because of ProBrike, I got 0 minors on my MOD 1 and 0 minors on my MOD 2. ProBike are everything you need from a motorbike instructor centre.I can’t make this any clearer. If you want to pass your bike test, chose ProBike!!

My experience at Probike was a great life time lesson all the training they provided for my 5 day course was spot on.I’ve never rode a motorcycle before so I was a bit slow at learning and they still was patient with me throughout the course.On day one I used the 125cc bike we done the pad training for around 3 hours, after lunch we spent the rest of the day out on the road learning how to free ride and then we stopped to learn the emergency stop and avoidance technique.Day two we used the 600cc bike and again we done pad training until everyone was comfortable with the bike before we moved onto the road.After lunch we went out on the 600cc practicing free riding and the emergency stopping and avoidance technique.Day three we went over the pad work again until everyone in my group was happy and confident. Then we went out on the road learning hill starts stopping in safe places roundabouts even little bit of the A12.The instructor we have even took us to the test centre in Basildon so we could see the Mod 1 in real life it put my mind to rest.On the 4th day I went for my Mod 1 test and passed with flying colours thanks to the hard work for Probike team.Day 5 Before the test they give me a good run through to refresh everything I’ve learned over the course then went for my Mod 2 test and passed again with flying colours.Couldn’t ask for a better school to have learned with.Top marks for Probike and especially Colin thanks for all your help as now I’m a motorcyclist…Sent from my iPhone

Amazing team, really friendly with great energy. The whole day was a laugh! The team made it very relaxing and comfortable for a first-time rider like me.Thank you for helping me pass and unlock some freedom.Ref 141359

Had a great experience during my training days leading up to my Mod 1 & 2 tests, gave fantastic advice and help with anything I had issues or worries about, in the end passed with no faults or minors during either of the modules, done 3 previous CBT's with them too when they had to be renewed.Some brilliant instructors all down to earth and easy to speak to.

100% recommend ProBike. I did my CBT & DAC with them and they made it super enjoyable, easy & fun.The instructors are all good lads and are great at explaining everything. They were always very approachable if I had any questions or concerns, and if I felt I needed extra practice on any of the manoeuvres they would accommodate rather than rushing through the day.They ensured that myself and others in the group were more than at the required standard to take the tests.

Good guys teaching some essential skills. Chose Pro Bike for my CBT as they were local and was a little concerned about some of the reviews but fair play to them, they taught some solid essential skills.Colin and Nev were my instructors. Good guys. Good advice on road safety, slow riding, and awareness.Passed my CBT and credit to them, not everyone in my group passed as they weren't safe enough.Only did 4/5 stars because I only got a 40 min road ride even though it says you'll get 2 hours on their website.

I booked on to complete the CBT course 17/6/23. Went with a friend. The staff were friendly from the get go and welcomed us in promptly. They went through elements A-E and explained what would happen next at each stage. I would like to send a very big shout out to Nevil. I did struggle a bit (I had no previous bike experience) especially at completing some of the manoeuvres. He pulled me to a side and gave me some pointers and let me practise at my own pace. This really helped. With regard to the on-road riding, I could not have felt more assured. We completed sections and then we stopped at regular intervals to explain what he saw and to correct anything to further improve our safety. He gave us hints and tips about how to spot obstacles and how to adjust our speed etc. Very thankful to the entire staff and hopefully be on the road with my own bike soon! Thank you Nevil and the team!

Brilliant facility and instructors. Positive, friendly instruction to get the best out of your course. Highly recommended
