Tristan Talbott 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Big thanks to Simon for the advice over the phone and Malcolm for helping me get it over line to obtain my R class. Malcolm is an amazing trainer. He generally believes in you and your capabilities he's very knowledgeable and really helps you hone your skills. He doesn't overload you with information. Communicates effectively and allows you to go at your own pace. The gsx8r was a pleasure to ride, but over the whole experience, it was amazing. Highly recommend.

David Zapata 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Im stocked, Malcom was really helpful to get my R licence. Love to ride that GX8, Overall fantastic experience!, recommended.

Emma 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Training with Malcom, he grew my confidence to pass my R class PDA. He knew I could ride, with all my experience he never undermined my abilities. He communicated clearly and is an attentive teacher. Having his belief in me I had the confidence to pass my R class. I attempted 3 times. 1st was my motorbike was not up to Canningtons DOT standards because of my tail tiedy. 2nd was because I forgot the date. 3rd time I passed at West Perth with a very fair instructor, Jamie. Overall a great experience with Malcom and someone I can trust.

Matt Callaghan 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Malcolm was a great instructor and helped me pass my RE license PDA first time. Even though I was competent on a bike from riding offroad I would not have passed the test without his help. Thanks again!

Bryan Wright 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had Kody as my instructor. I was a complete noob when I started but got through my 6 months on my Ls and passed on my first attempt. Kody was a great instructor. I would highly recommend getting some lessons as I felt comfortable and safe. I have a love of motor cycle riding now!

Kylie Taylor 5 years ago

Chris Elliott 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had Kody teach me how to ride a motorbike for my R-E licence. Kody is a very patient and supportive instructor who is very easy to get on with. Any questions you're unsure about - Kody is more than happy to talk you through them. Would definitely recommend Smartrider to anyone looking to learn how to ride a motorbike and get their R-E licence.

James 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Simon and Kody are both fantastic instructors. Non pushy, relaxed, patient and both extremely knowledgeable in motorcycle training. Just a few lessons with these guys and I passed my R class first time! Thanks again lads, highly recommend !!

Matt Smit 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: 5/5 Fantastic rider training! Kody was my instructor operating out of Belmont. He gives very clear and patient instruction and is a pleasure to deal and ride with! I was looking forward to my lesson every week. He always made sure I was safe on the road, and also taught me how to keep myself safe when riding. Every time I ride and do something stupid I hear his voice in the back of my head :) Not only passed the test first try, but feel safe and confident riding by myself. Thanks!

Anthony Whitbread 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Hadn't ridden a R class for over 3 years. Booked me in for 4 lessons and in the same week had my R class test and passed. Great guy to train with!!!!

Jon Kell 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Kody was a brilliant instructor with the patience of a saint. Id never ridden before and he took me from a nervous starter to a confident rider capable of keeping myself safe on the road. Not once did he suggest extra lessons for his financial benefit - as soon as he knew I was ready to take the test he let me know. Not only did he teach safe riding but he made it fun as well with some decent banter along the way. Would recommend to anyone looking to get their licence!!

Fantastic experience: Just passed my assessment yesterday first time. Kody is a very competent instructor and will make you feel very comfortable on the bike if you're a little nervous to start riding. Highly recommend.

Charlie T 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Smartrider Training, I was taught by Kody from first riding a motorbike till today, passing my R-E license first shot. Extremely clear, relatable and genuine instructor and I have no hesitation in recommending anyone to him.

matthew smith 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Recently passed my R-E test thanks to Kody, great guy easy to learn from and very knowledgeable Highly recommended him to anyone learning

Keaton Staz 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I recently undertook training for my RE- Class license at Smart Rider training. My instructor Kody proved to be knowledgable and encouraging. When it came time for the test I felt confident, knowing we’d covered all its components. Kody was able to evaluate my riding skills from the first lesson. He is a really friendly guy and a brilliant instructor. I was able to pass first time thanks to the excellent training I received. But I go out on the roads now with confidence, not because I could pass a test, but because he showed me again and again, the level of alertness required to ride safe. Cheers Kody!

Darren Allbeury 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Kody is the man. He knows his stuff, very professional and helpful. I would definetly recommend Smartrider to anyone wanting to get their motorbike licence. Cheers Kody

Linden Pywell 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: I recently passed my assessment with a clean sheet thanks to Simon's knowledge. I have had experience on two wheels off road before but he knew exactly where to start and concentrated on which areas I would need to work on to transition to the road. He has made me a much more comfortable rider and I will be recommending him to anyone looking to get their bike licence. Great guy too!

Andy Steven 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have used Simon from Smartrider for my riding lessons and most recently assisted with passing of my practical assessment. From the get go Simon was great to learn from, his detail to the job was awesome and I always looked forward to the next lesson. Loads of knowledge that won’t be forgotten. I have passed his details to several friends/colleagues already without hesitation. Thanks again Simon and no doubt see next time for the open class license. Andy

Dane Ehm 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Simon is a really great guy, who genuinely cares about making you a safer and smarter motorcyclist. Training with Simon is about more than just passing your test, it's about real world motorcycle riding, learning to stay safe on the roads, in traffic, and on a potentially dangerous machine.

cameron 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: Simon is by far the best instructor I have ever come across. He talks to you, not at you and really works well identifying key areas individuals need to improve on. I would recommend Simon to anyone who want to learn how to ride motorcycles the correct way

Richard Fourie 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: Simon is incredibly knowledgeable and teaches in a practical and easy-to-learn manner. I passed my assessment first time thanks to his clear guidance.

Stefan Lozyk 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: I would like to recommend Simon Poole from Smart Rider motorcycle training in Lathlain. His cool, calm and professional training style along with his motorcycle knowledge made training with him a pleasure. I passed my RE assessment 2 weeks ago with a clean sheet and I have to thank Simon for giving me the knowledge and confidence to ride safely. Cheers mate! Stefan

Lee-anne Albertini 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: Simon Poole is currently teaching me to ride. He has given me the confidence to get out on the road safely. His patience and knowledge is amazing, allowing me to learn techniques and traffic rules whilst riding. As I work full time, he has been really flexible fitting in lessons to suit me. I am absolutely loving learning to ride and I just want to thank Simon for being such a professional instructor whilst having fun along the way. I would recommend Simon to anyone who wishes to learn to ride. With his road experience and knowledge he is the right person to get you on the road. Lee-Anne

Aaron 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: Started motorcycle lessons with Simon early March 2017 and passed my RE yesterday on the first attempt less than 4 weeks in (I haven't got on a bike since more than 10 years ago). Simon is an easy going instructor who genuinely cares for his students safety and improving their riding skills. He reads his students well on a bike and would give you good feedback on points to improve and knows what you are doing when you are riding with him. Couldn't recommend him enough for anyone who wants to learn the road craft the right way and also more importantly, acquire survival skills on the road. Will go back for lessons once a year has passed for my full R license.

Fantastic experience: Simon is an awesome instructor and I highly recommend him to anyone.. I will definitely be going back to him when I go for my unrestricted licence.

Gabriel Laim 9 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had zero motorcycle experience when I first started. Smartrider training has helped me gain that experience and confidence in not only riding but to be more safer and smarter when riding. Their structured lessons were tailored to my level of understanding and at my own pace, delivered by a very experienced and friendly instructor, Simon. Thank you Smartrider Training.

Steve Myers 9 years ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent teacher and I passed the assessment first time with no issues. Highly recommend smart rider for anyone looking at learning to ride motorbikes

Travis Pringle 9 years ago

Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend Simon enough for anyone new or old looking to learn or improve their riding skills and knowledge. I started with Simon to achieve my restricted licence and then again for my open class. I could tell from the start Simon has a true passion for bikes and keeping the men and women on them safe. His knowledge base is great and covers both sport and cruiser style bikes and riding (I ride cruisers). Most importantly I know of a few times since riding Simon's training and tricks has kept me from hitting the road or cars hitting you! Enjoy and ride safe

Wayne Chan 9 years ago

Fantastic experience: I took up the idea of getting my license in 2013, I rang Simon to let him know that I was completely green to riding and he detailed what I would learn. Simon's way of teaching is done in a relaxed and easy going manner. Wouldn't rush to the next step, would let you understand and grasp the ideas of an aspect and would only move on if he saw the confidence and improvements he is looking for in a rider. He would explain scenarios in how they happen and what to do to stay safe. The bikes are very easy to control and quite modern .Simon has made learning to ride a very enjoyable experience. So for anyone looking for a top notch instructor, you can't go past Simon at Smartrider motorcycle training.

Martin Parayil 9 years ago

Fantastic experience: This guys are the best you would probably get in Perth. With decades of experience in riding, they know very well what they are doing. They will take you through everything you need to be safe out there while you enjoy every moment behind the handle. Highly recommended for any ages. Very patient approach to teaching, so any experience level would fit in easily. Thanks for reading.

Terence Reeves 9 years ago

Fantastic experience: Simons knowledge and instructing capabilities are second to none. He was able to adapt his teaching methods to suit the way in which i learned and his explanation and scenarios of why we do this or that made it clear in my head the importance of good riding position, bike control and situational awareness when on the road. I will be lookig at doing my R class license later this year and I will definitely be going back to smartrider to fine tune my skills, correct my bad habits and graduate to a big bike. Thanks simon you have ignited my love for all things two wheels. Thanks

Nigel Hird 9 years ago

Fantastic experience: I decide to learn to ride a bike about three years ago. I took my first couple of lessons with another school and the instructor got me in a couple of situations that scared me, because I wasn't ready to be doing the things asked of me as I simply didn't have the skills. Being in my early 40's I wondered if it was worth it and had some trepidation as to continuing to learn to ride. But I decided to give it another shot, and that's how I ended up with Simon. What a difference a different instructor made. Simon is very knowledgeable about the actual techniques it takes to ride, and describes them so clearly that by the end of my first lesson with him I was enjoying myself and feeling I could truly control a motorcycle and that motorcycling was for me. Simon progresses you at every lesson, but never takes you outside your comfort zone. And with Simon's calm, relaxed manner, your comfort on a motorcycle grows rapidly. I took lessons with Simon for both my motorcycle classes and past both tests first time, because Simon gave me the skills to be in control of a motorcycle, and most importantly, to be always safe on the road. Since having my licence, I have had the pleasure of riding some of the most powerful production motorcycles ever built. I'm no Guy Martin, but I've been able to climb aboard these powerful bikes with confidence and ride them within my limits thanks to the lessons learnt from Simon. I have had relatives and friends take lessons with Simon based on my experiences with him. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Ryan McMaster 9 years ago

Fantastic experience: Simon is an excellent instructor who puts safety and common sense before all else. Learning to ride a bike was a daunting exercise mentally, but when I met Simon and began training with Smartrider, my confidence on the bike flew up and with the knowledge that I'm learning to ride with a highly exerienced instructor and that I was learning skills and techniques that would possibly one day save my life. For all this and much more, I could never recommend Simon and Smartrider enough. Excellent instructor, highly enjoyable lessons.

Ken THOMAS GEORGE 9 years ago

Fantastic experience: My experience with Smart Rider Training and Simon simply put; was best money and time I have spent. He taught me some of the best rules by which I still ride today. I was able to pass my test on the first try for R-E Class. I am still in touch with Simon because he is always happy to share his knowledge of motorcycles and I will need his help with my R-Class! I would recommend Simon to any new/experienced rider.

Matt Kowalewycz 9 years ago

Fantastic experience: highly recommended motorcycle teacher. was able to pass my driving test first time without any mistakes after being taught by Simon.

Hani Xie 9 years ago

Fantastic experience: Simon is a proffesional trainer. He treat his student proffesionally so we can get best result on road and test. He got best knowledge of riding and survival. Did my riding test with him and got all pass 100%

Evan Williams 9 years ago

Fantastic experience: Simon is not only a great instructor but also a great bloke! I cannot recommend him enough. I passed my practical examination on the first attempt thanks to Simon's thorough attention to detail. I look forward to going to back to him for my open class license. Give these guys a go, you won't be disappointed.

noram123 9 years ago

Fantastic experience: As a returning rider, I was in need of a refresher course. Simon was very thorough and after watching me ride for a short time, he had a number of very important observations and suggestions to make on my riding style. He is patient and explained everything very well. Thank you Smartrider!

Colin Sinclair 9 years ago

Fantastic experience: Just finished my assessment, passed no problems thanks to Simon's tuition. Always teaching the right way to do things not just about passing the assessment, would recommend to others for sure. Colin

Peter Bulman 10 years ago

Fantastic experience: I'm over 65 and hadn't ridden a bike before. This was one of the best training experiences I've ever had. Simon was succinct, thorough, patient, good natured and friendly. He prepped thoroughly before we started and explained all the potential dangers and how to avoid them. He pointed out all the features of the bike and how they worked and then, during the various exercises, he repeated the process as often as I needed until it became intuitive. I learnt a lot in a short time and as a result of this course, I gained enough knowledge and confidence to go out and buy a bike and now I'm riding country roads and in city traffic and loving every minute of it. Simon's a great teacher and I highly recommend anyone wanting to learn to ride to give him call.
