The on-cycle training sessions are designed to teach riders the necessary skills to safely and confidently operate a three-wheel vehicle on the street. The course is taught live in a safe and controlled environment by Rider Coaches who hold certifications from the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) and the Massachusetts Rider Education Program (MREP). Riders are encouraged to bring their own three-wheel vehicle if they own one, in order to learn the mechanics of operation on the vehicle they will be riding on a day-to-day basis. If you do not own a three-wheel vehicle a Can-Am on road model will be provided for you at no extra charge. Successful completion of the 3Wheel Basic Rider Course allows riders to obtain their Massachusetts Three-Wheel Motorcycle endorsement with no further testing at the RMV. Students from VT, RI, ME, NH, gain a certificate of completion when they pass the course successfully that enables them to be licensed in their own state after passing the 3Wheel Course with Pioneer Valley Rider Training. Required riding gear is the student’s responsibility. Students must bring their own DOT approved helmet and the required riding gear to the course. Please see the FAQs page for a list of the Required Riding Gear.
