Questions
Before you ride with us
Here are the essentials. Ask us about anything specific to your motorcycle or experience.
Do I need a motorcycle endorsement?
Yes. RideCraft is for riders who are already endorsed and want to develop their riding skills.
Does RideCraft supply motorcycles?
Riders train on their own street legal motorcycles. Tell us what you ride when you inquire so we can discuss whether the training is a good fit.
What should I bring?
Bring your motorcycle, riding gear, and water. We’ll confirm the specific gear and motorcycle requirements before your session.
Where does training take place?
RideCraft serves the Piedmont Triad in North Carolina. We’ll confirm the training location when arranging a session.
Can this course waive the DMV skills test?
No. RideCraft does not offer a license waiver or a beginner licensing course. If you need a waiver, seek a state approved motorcycle licensing course.
When will training begin?
RideCraft plans to launch in Spring 2027. Course dates, locations, and pricing will be announced as plans are finalized. Contact RideCraft to express interest and tell us what you’d like to practice.
