Lightning Motorcycle Training Reviews 

I would definitely recommend lightning motorcycle training to anyone.
I did most of my training with Keith and what a great instructor he is he got me through my mod 1 and mod 2 in no time at all I was shocked.
Thank you to everyone that worked with me.

I would like to say a huge thank you to Lightning Motorcycle Training for helping me pass Mod 1 and Mod 2 first time.

A special thank you to Rob and Carl, who were both excellent instructors throughout my training. They were patient, professional, knowledgeable, and always took the time to explain things clearly, which helped build my confidence and improve my riding skills.

Their support, encouragement, and expert guidance made all the difference, and I couldn't have asked for better instructors. I would highly recommend Lightning Motorcycle Training to anyone looking to learn to ride or gain their motorcycle licence.

Thank you again, Rob, Carl, and the whole team for helping me achieve this milestone.

Lightning pass Stourbridge massive thanks to Steve was a superb instructor really good day doing my CBT will be back to do my A1

Unprofessional company — avoid Reading branch!
They cancelled my 2-hour 1-2-1 lesson in Reading via SMS just 30 minutes before it was due to start because the instructor was sick. I missed university for this and had a 1-hour drive, but they simply promised a manager would call me back to reschedule.
No one called. I was ignored for 4 days until I had to follow up myself. Their communication is terribly slow, taking a full day to reply to emails. They tried to push a 1-hour session on me (completely pointless for a 2-hour round trip) and refused a refund.
After a formal complaint, they suddenly offered a slot with only 3 hours' notice, completely ignoring my university schedule. When I demanded a refund, they finally agreed but had the audacity to lecture me about my "tone" because I called out their awful service. Days later, the money is still not returned. Shambolic management. I have now opened a dispute with my bank.

UPDATE:
Note how their response conveniently ignores the key details. They didn't "attempt to help" right away — they went completely silent and ignored me for days until I had to follow up myself. The "same-day replacement" was offered with just 3 hours' notice after days of radio silence, expecting me to drop my university commitments instantly.
Furthermore, the refund was only issued right after I posted this public review and raised a dispute with my bank, not out of good customer service. Customers should not have to spend a week fighting and posting negative reviews just to get back money for a service the business cancelled.

Look no further!
Top shelf training, excellent crew.
From CBT to full motorcycle license.
They have a selection of bikes to train on that are all in neat condition. They have helmets and jackets for those of us who need riding kit.
The admin team was very quick to help me when I needed to make date changes because of my changing work schedule. I can highly recommend using Lightning Motorcycle training.

Can not recommend these guys enough. Big massive thank you to Jerry and Stuart from Swindon branch. I passed my Cbt to my full license within 1 month. 100% recommended.

I recently completed my MOD 2 training and test in Swindon, and I would like to give special thanks to my instructor, Jace. He is genuinely a lovely person and without doubt the best instructor I have met from the whole team.

Jace was professional, supportive, and very patient throughout the training, which made the experience much more enjoyable and helped build my confidence. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent instructor.

My sincere thanks and regards to him for all his hard work and dedication.

Did my CBT with Reading branch and Marcus. Absolutely top notch experience.

I was a bit worried when I turned up - car park, two big green shipping containers and a rugby club toilet. No, this is not a training course like a corporate one you’ve experienced.

However bikes are well taken care of, full of petrol and everything is clearly structured. Emails are sent with all information and it includes a what 3 words as Google maps stops you before you get there.

The quality of the instruction was superb and that’s why I was there. Marcus was approachable, clear in his instructions and demonstrations, easily able to identify our failings and what to do to correct them, never put us under pressure or got annoyed and knew when to suggest you take a little 2 min breather to re-centre yourself.

This calm, kind, thoughtful man was reassuring and unperturbed by anything. On the road he carried this on, his voice at the start telling you to slow down or speed up or cancel indicators in a calm manner that helped build your confidence until something started to click and it became a really enjoyable experience. I’ll be returning in a couple of months to do my DAS with these people and I hope I get Marcus again.

I hope I got his name right, but Simon at Lightning Motorcycle Training was an excellent instructor. He was patient, calm, professional, and explained everything clearly throughout my CBT, which really helped build my confidence on the bike. He made sure I understood things properly instead of just rushing through the training, and created a relaxed environment even when I was nervous.

I’d definitely recommend Lightning Motorcycle Training to anyone looking to do their CBT or full bike licence training. Don’t let some of the 1-star reviews put you off, a lot of them seem to come from people frustrated after failing or not listening to instructions properly. My experience was genuinely positive from start to finish.

Thanks again to Simon and the team at Lightning Motorcycle Training Wembley.

It is a great riding school with excellent instructors. They work very hard to teach their students and help them succeed while focusing on riding skills and safety.

I would like to thank everyone at Lightning Motorcycle Training, especially the instructors Dave, Marcos, and Keith. I learned many good riding techniques and valuable skills from them.

A special thank you to Dave for the Module 2 training session. Dave worked very hard that day and taught me the riding techniques perfectly.

I highly recommend this riding school to anyone who wants to learn how to ride safely and confidently.

I’d like to give a huge thank you to Lightning Motorcycle in Wembley and their entire team. From the instructors to all the backroom staff, they made every step of this journey seamless, efficient, and comfortable. I want to give a special mention to David, who guided me throughout my entire motorcycle journey. He took me through my CBT, Module 1, and all the way to my MOD2 so I was lucky enough to have him by my side the entire time. In under a month, he helped me go from a complete novice to passing my tests. Most importantly, he helped me fulfill a dream of mineto ride alongside my father. His dedication, time, and vast experience gave me a confidence I never knew I had. I can’t praise him enough he’s an exceptional instructor and a huge asset to Lightning Motorcycle. I truly couldn’t have done this without him. This pass is a testament to David’s character and his incredible ability to teach someone like me, who was brand new to motorcycles. Thank you!

Just had a great 45min intro lesson with Jim, he couldn't have been more patient! Really clear explanations on how the bike works and how to ride safely. What a confidence boost!Definitely booking in for the CBT. Thank you!

I took my cbt at the Abbey rugby club and the instructors there were brilliant with me.
They were kind, funny and made you feel at ease.
The instructor I had was ( paul). thank you so much for helping me to overcome my nerves on my whole journey of becoming a biker.
Highly recommend!

Completely amazing team at Oxford, both instructors got me through my full A license, inspiring and engaging instructors that put you at ease and expertly help you navigate your way through the skills and knowledge you need to ride competently and safely. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to learn to ride a motorcycle..

Did my CBT today at Stourbridge , passed ok all good , really great staff with great knowledge , Jim was very informative excellent teacher and made it a fun experience as well , very good indeed , would recommend lightning motorcycle training to anyone wanting bike training ,,, I’m now looking forward to progressing to a full licence with them

Amazing training school , very friendly and kind instructors especially Dave . He’s an amazing instructor I had him for my mod 1 and 2 training and I passed both with only 1 minor total . Ask him to speak to you kindly and he will 😉he’s a sweetheart 😂

Rude people on your phone i have a accident and don't want to give me back my money

I passed my Mod 2 recently, and I wanted to leave a proper thank you to the team at Lightning Pass Wembley.

David was outstanding: patient, focused, and genuinely invested in my results. He tailored the training to the way I learn, and what really worked for me was the practical approach in our sessions.

If I was getting something wrong on the road, he had me do it again and again until it felt natural and correct, rather than just going over the same explanations.

I also had a session with Marcus, who was brilliant too. Calm, clear, and really helpful.

One extra thing I appreciated is the resources on their website. I actually came across Lightning Pass when I was googling roundabout rules, and the guidance they share is genuinely useful.

I’d recommend the instructors at Wembley to anyone looking for quality training. They’re punctual, efficient, and very professional.

I found Lightning Motorcycle training quite by accident, having failed my first Mod 2 in Swansea, I wanted to attempt my second test at the earliest opportunity, and found the quickest route would be via Swindon test centre. I booked a three hour session, prior to the big day, and the difference in quality of training (and administration) was a huge improvement from my initial training provider. I cannot recommend this company enough. For anyone considering their ‘A’ licence, you will be in very capable hands.

Outstanding Motorcycle Training – Highly Recommend Lightning Motorcycle Training Reading

I completed my CBT renewal along with Mod 1 and Mod 2 training with Lightning Motorcycle Training in Reading and had an excellent experience from start to finish.

My CBT renewal was with Cole, who was very cool, kind, and respectful, but also extremely informative and professional. He is a great teacher and did an excellent job walking both me and another student through the course. What really stood out was his patience and support towards the other student, who wasn’t very strong with English – he made sure they fully understood everything and felt comfortable throughout. Cole also went the extra mile by giving me additional training and guidance towards my A2 restricted licence while we were doing the CBT, which I really appreciated.

I then completed my Mod 1 & Mod 2 training with Barry, who also had a great energy and was very easy to get along with. He provided helpful tips and guidance for the Mod 1 exam and made the session both productive and enjoyable. He gave clear, concise instructions and easy-to-follow steps throughout the training. He took us out on the road and explained every detail of the course through the headset, covering positioning, observations, and overall road awareness. His approach was very comprehensive and really helped build confidence and prepare me for the future Mod 2 test.

I passed my Mod 1 test and had a brief training session with Rob who was friendly and approachable but also devilled a great training session despite having limited time. He also took us out on the pad for Mod 2 training which again was very helpful and informative.

Overall, the whole team at Lightning Motorcycle Training are professional, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping their students succeed. I couldn’t recommend them enough to anyone looking to complete their CBT, A2, or full motorcycle licence in the Reading area.
