Harley makes it easier than ever to learn how to ride and get in the wind as quickly as possible.
Learning to Ride
It goes without saying that in order to survive and thrive as a company, Harley-Davidson must attract a new generation of riders. And by all accounts, it's working hard to do that with an entirely new and diverse model lineup. But on top of just selling great products, Harley is also committed to teaching folks how to operate a motorcycle, courtesy of its news "Learn to Ride" and "Experience the Ride" programs.

Honed Experience
Both new programs are inspired by new rider feedback, and aim to make the learning experience more personal and convenient, with flexible scheduling and a learning pace that suits the rider’s needs. Personal coaching sessions can be scheduled 1-on-1, or as a private group with up to 4 participants.

Same Curriculum
The new Learn to Ride course goes beyond the Harley-Davidson Riding Academy New Rider Course, delivering the same curriculum, but it also allows students to schedule private sessions with personal coaches and learn all the techniques and riding strategies required to earn a motorcycle endorsement.

Many Benefits
Learn to Ride is designed for riders that always wanted to learn but couldn’t fit a multi-day course into their schedule or prefer to learn in a private session. Benefits of the Learn to Ride program include highly flexible scheduling, learning at the rider’s pace, more focused attention from the coach, ability to repeat training modules if needed, and completion of private sessions solo or with a small group of friends, resulting in lower anxiety.

Experience the Ride
The newly developed "Experience the Ride" program is designed specifically for those who have never ridden a motorcycle but are interested in trying. Under the guidance of a professional coach, participants will ride a Harley-Davidson Street 500 motorcycle across a practice range. The entire experience takes approximately 90 minutes and is completed on a bike specially equipped for new riders.

Low Commitment Experience
Experience the Ride is a low commitment, no-pressure way for potential riders to get behind the handlebars and experience riding a Harley-Davidson motorcycle for the first time. This program can help participants decide if learning to ride is right for them, alleviate potential anxiety before taking rider training, and help realize how motorcycles can unlock their dreams of personal freedom.
