I have had the best experience from training to mod 1 and mod 2 tests. Steve got me through it all with first time passes. I can highly recommend All bikes training. Steve is a great instructor with patience and he is dedicated to each individual to getting you over the line for your bike licence. Can’t thank him enough.

What can I say fantastic for start to finish. Yes steve can be firm but for our only good. He doesn't teach you to pass he teaches to ride properly and that starts from the cbt. If you listen to him like I did you will pass with I minor which was my fault of switching off for a moment on the mod 1. But when you pass mod 2 and the instructor said he really enjoyed the ride out with no faults well I can't thank steve enough. Steve is very thorough and loves seeing people move forward in riding i can't recommend him enough. Thank you steve and Louis for all your help

Done my CBT today with Steve, honestly what a great guy, genuine passion for bikes, really easy to get along with and make you feel comfortable plus a fantastic sense of humour which made the day much more enjoyable! His training is spot on cant wait to carry it on now for my DAS. The whole booking process through Louise was really easy and all information regarding the booking with additional helpful info was sent to me straight after our phone call. 100% would recommend All Bikes to anyone wanting to ride on the road. Support your local small business and get treated like a human and not just a number!

Just finished my Mod 1 and Mod 2 today with Steve and Louise and can't recommend them enough! Steve is a knowledgeable instructor with great people skills, something that a few other instructors in the area don't seem to have nailed which I found really important when learning something new and spending a lot of time together. Louise is handy on the phone and really helpful at sorting everything out and making it nice and easy schedule wise (and also does really good honey!) Given how I went from not having ridden a bike to passing my mod 2 in a such a short time frame, I can't recommend them enough.

I've just turned 60 and decided, for whatever reason, I wanted to own and learn to ride amotorbike. So, I began the process of getting my licence. I passed my CBT with another company in Colchester but thought, when it came to doing my DAS, I wanted to properly learn to ride a bike first, rather than just rushing to take my mod 1 and 2. So, I looked around to see what options I had. Once I contacted Allbikes and spoke to Steve on the phone, I knew his approach would be best for me. I could tell Steve genuinely cared about me being safe and and wasn't interested in just taking my money. I had 2 or 3 more lessons and then felt, with Steve's feedback, I was ready to book my DAS. A few weeks later, I passed my mod 2 first time. Steve's approach is direct, honest but full of humour and very quickly you understand its because his sole priority is keeping you safe and showing you how to ride a motorcycle. I really enjoyed every minute of it and, with his wife Louise, Allbikes is a true family business and I would recommend them to anyone who wants to "learn" to ride.

Having had my CBT training, gear training and a botched Mod 1 “training” with other companies in town , I was at my wits end. I’d lost all confidence in being able to ride a motorbike. I am only doing it for fun and to achieve a childhood dream and literally felt like I couldn’t do it. I contacted Steve and he rang me back very quickly. My first lesson with Steve I was so nervous, he could tell it immediately. We chatted for some minutes, he totally put me at ease and by the end of 2 hours I’d learned more from Steve than any of the other “Instructors” I’d used. I think he was slightly surprised by the huge hug he got at the end!! Now at the end of 4 hours I’m back to enjoying riding more than ever and my confidence is back up, my riding is better and I’m back to loving being on a bike!!! I didn’t want my lesson to end today! Now we’re moving on to the next chapter in my training! Would highly highly recommend…don’t waste your time or money anywhere else!! Thanks Steve!!!!

I had a fantastic experience training with Steve and Louise. Steve has a wicked sense of humour and a real talent for making you a safer, more confident rider. He tells you exactly what you need to hear, which is exactly what you want in a great instructor. I passed my CBT in October, which was my only experience on a bike. I came to Steve in February to start my DAS, and he rightly had me on a 125 to begin with. After just three hours of lessons, I was on the big bike and went on to pass both Mod 1 and Mod 2 first time with only two minors in total. Massive thanks to Steve and Louise for getting me started on my biking journey. Highly recommend!

I Passed my test today after taking the 4-day DAS with Steve. After a lot of searching the Internet for recommendations and value for money I have to say I am so pleased I choose All Bikes for my training. A professional family run business with great tuition, very friendly approach and a load of fun thrown in.You won’t find another company that offers a service like All Bikes for the money… Oh and Steve buy’s a Coffee on ride outs.Many Thanks to Steve & Louise for such a great experience.

Robert Chisnall

Having been through my CBT elsewhere, I was recommended to Steve and All Bikes, and enquired regarding my DAS. From minute go both Steve and Louise were great and extremely helpful, with my training undertaken by Rob their additional training instructor, who helped me successfully pass my Mod 1 on the first attempt, and then both Rob and Steve trained and got me through Mod 2! Great team, great training and great fun. Couldn’t recommend them enough!!

Gerard Condon

Thanks for a great day’s instruction. I really enjoyed the day and learned more than I did last time I did my CBT.Highlight of the day…. Watching Gary pull up to a stop….and forget to put his feet down. Quality! It’s going to hurt his wallet if he drops his Harley like that…. lolI will pop by on my scooter some time. Let you ride a REAL bike!!!Ride safe…. stay out of the ditches.

Kev Williams

Hi Steve. Just to say thanks for the training day yesterday. Really enjoyed it, and I learned so much. Looking forward now to just going out on the bike and having some fun. So, cheers for that man!

Adam Crane

Steve is a top man, really helped me regain confidence in my skills. I would recommend him to anyone and will certainly be contacting him to carry out my full test!

James Johnson

Despite not having a driver’s license or any driving lessons, and little experience on a 125, Steve got me through in 4 days, meaning I now have an A2 license. Great instructor who I wouldn’t have passed without and taught me not just how to pass but how to ride. Definitely Recommended!

James Robert West

What can I say, within 4days of riding Steve transformed me into a self-believing confident rider. I had my doubts when I started as I lacked confidents, but Steve brings everything together step by step.I did my research after a friend recommend me, after looking at Steve’s Facebook page and website and reading the reviews I decided Steve would be the ideal instructor. To everyone who reads these reviews they are 100% true in what they say. Steve is an A**** instructor and will recommend anyone to go with him.

Paul Coombs

Fortunately, I have not used any other training school to compare all bikes to. Because Steve is THE MAN!! he has the ability to give you the confidence and to believe in yourself without you even realising it. Not only do you learn to get through your tests, but he gives you tips for riding in the real world. Both Steve and rob are top blokes, but sorry Steve Rob’s jokes are better??.But I am going to miss the training sessions due to the fact I got my mod 1 with only 2 minors and my mod 2 with only 1 minor.Would I recommend people to ALL BIKES?Answer: I already have!

Darren Taylor

Thank you for getting me through my CBT quickly and painlessly. I look forward to coming back for my full licence. Thanks Steve.

Jason Ames

Day started well, snow, ice and windy. Been 20 years since I was on a bike. Steve was fantastic got my confidence back within minutes. His instructions on the road were clear and easy to follow. He also knows all the good Tea stops. First class day.
