ESC Motorcycle Safety Training

Novice Rider Course (NRC)

Our most popular motorcycle course is the Motorcycle Safety Foundation's Novice Rider Course (NRC). This course is aimed at individuals with little or no riding experience (those with experience and their own bike may prefer the IRC). The NRC is designed to provide the skills needed to operate a motorcycle safely and competently. Your training will include classroom instruction and a minimum of 8 hours ON-CYCLE training.

Intermediate Rider Course (IRC)

Evergreen Safety Council also offers the Motorcycle Safety Foundation’s Intermediate Rider Course (IRC). The IRC is a one-day (6-hour) course designed to help riders with a minimum of 6-12 months riding experience to further develop the skills necessary to avoid accidents. On-range discussions will include a review of street survival skills. Students use their own motorcycles which will be subject to a safety inspection and proof of liability insurance and ownership must be presented before the start of class.

Additional Riding Class (ARC)

The 4 - 5 hour Additional Riding Class assists students in refining their motorcycle skills and techniques. Classes are conducted on our ranges using our bikes.

Scooters

Who needs a Motorcycle Endorsement?

Scooters are growing in popularity throughout the Puget Sound area and Evergreen Safety Council's Motorcycle Safety Program had led the way with scooter class offerings. ESC offers both Novice and Intermediate Scooter-Only cleasses. In additon to these classes, students may request to ride a scooter when registering for a standard motorcycle Novice Riders Course.

According to Washington State law, “motor-driven cycle” means every motorcycle, including every motor scooter, which is capable of propelling the device at more than thirty miles per hour on level ground. Basically, if it can go more than 30 mph, an endorsement is required.

Scooters that have 50-ccs are built to fit licensing laws limiting the speed to 30-35 mph. Other scooters can reach 40-50 mph, so with this in mind, Evergreen Safety Council is excited to offer Scooter Specific Classes. If none of these classes are available, scooters may be requested for normal NRC classes (advance notice must be given!).
