Urban Rider Motorcycle School

I signed up for Urban rider’s course having never even rode a moped. John was a fantastic instructor and got me up and running in no time. I felt ready and confident (albeit a bit nervous) for both my MST and road test. His years of riding and extensive knowledge of both tests helps you know how to quickly refine your habits and skills. If you’re on the fence about learning to ride, I highly recommend it and John is the man who can help you get there and feel safe and confident doing it.

I can't say enough good things about John and Urban Rider. I went from rookie, to passing my MST the first try, and passing my road test the first time as well. Unlike other schools I checked out, John focuses on smaller classes with more one on one time which I found made a HUGE difference. My road rides were one on one rather than being 8 students to 1 instructor.Can't thank John enough and highly recommend him to anyone new or experienced.

Booked John for a Road Test Prep a week before my exam date. At our meeting spot, he took time to talk me through the test categories in great detail and asked what my weak spots were (shoulder checks). We then did the mock test ride and John was providing directions and feedback as we rode. He took a route that covered all the road test category checks. He pointed out several actions I needed to be focused on. He later emailed me a summary of the session. The next week - I passed! My test route was very close to what John took me through! My weak spots were my strong points! I don't think I would have passed without his session. I highly recommend John and his School services.

I recommend Urban rider to anyone who’s looking to pass ICBC road test. John is very professional. Although my English isn’t pretty he took the time helping me to know my mistakes while riding. He learned me with serenity and finally I passed my road test. Thanks

Recently registered for the Small Group Learn To Ride course with John and it was excellent. John is an amazing instructor - extremely experienced, professional, and provides lots of hands-on examples and recommendations with riding (and bike maintenance). 10/10 would recommend and have referred all of my friends to his course.If you are considering, sign up early as his courses are smaller in size (5 or less students per session) and usually have a waitlist.

John is awesome and prepared me perfectly for my test. He was helpful when my bike wouldn't start and flexible to fit my timing. I am so happy to have my license and John made the whole process feel very comfortable

John is the best instructor. I went from never been on a motorcycle to fully licensed in barely over two months. He started with the right steps, avoiding bad habits, and working the extra mile to build my confidence on the bike. From MST practice to road driving, John had the patience to slow my impatience. The video and accurate comments on the road test practices are definitely worth it. His knowledge, skills and dedication to motivate and to have you to fall in love for riding. If you are looking to get your motorcycle license, John Buddo is your man and Urban Rider Motorcycle School definitely worth your first call. Thanks John for making this dream come true to me.

John is a fantastic teacher! I attended another motorcycle school beforehand and didn't have the best learning experience there. The private lessons with John were a completely different story - he helped me gain confidence on the bike, and empowered me to not be afraid of riding and to enjoy it. His attention to detail and practical step-by-step tips were very helpful - I never felt overwhelmed and really appreciated his approach of gradually working on different things. He also provided videos after our lessons so I could review and analyze my riding. Would definitely recommend John to anyone who is looking to get a solid riding foundation!

An exceptional instructor named John!I had the privilege of learning from John, an outstanding instructor at Urban Rider. His expertise and teaching style were truly impressive.

Highly recommend Urban Rider and the exceptional instruction of John!
