Flexible Learning Before You Ride

Online e-course combined with on-bike training in Peru and Fort Wayne, Indiana for riders who need to complete knowledge portions at their own pace.

If you work irregular hours or live outside Peru and Fort Wayne but want to complete your motorcycle training without committing to multiple classroom sessions, this format lets you finish the knowledge portion online before you show up for hands-on riding instruction. You cover topics like Indiana motorcycle laws, risk management, and how to read road conditions through a structured online course that you complete at home. Once you finish the online portion, you schedule time for on-bike training where you apply what you learned in real riding exercises.

Motorcycle Rider Training of Indiana Inc structures this program to meet Indiana motorcycle training and endorsement requirements, so the combination of online learning and in-person riding satisfies the same standards as a traditional course. The on-bike sessions reinforce safety concepts through drills that focus on clutch control, braking, turning, and hazard response, all performed on training motorcycles in a controlled environment. This format is ideal for busy riders in Peru and surrounding communities who need flexibility without skipping the practical components that prepare you for real-world riding conditions.

If you want to move through the classroom material on your own schedule before practicing on a bike, get in touch to discuss how the online course works and when on-bike sessions are available.

How the Online and Riding Portions Work Together

You start by logging into the online platform and working through modules that cover traffic laws, crash prevention strategies, and how motorcycles respond to rider input. The content includes videos, quizzes, and scenario-based questions that test your understanding before you move to the next section. Once you complete the online portion, you schedule your on-bike training in Peru and Fort Wayne, where you spend time on a training motorcycle practicing the skills referenced in the course material.

After the on-bike sessions, you will notice that concepts like countersteering and proper braking technique make more sense because you have physically performed the actions rather than just reading about them. You will also be able to identify hazards more quickly and respond in ways that reduce your risk on the street.

The online course does not replace the hands-on riding time, and you are required to complete both portions to meet state requirements. The format simply allows you to separate the knowledge portion from the physical training so you can manage your schedule more easily without losing the depth of instruction.

Things riders want to know before they register

People who choose this format usually ask how long the online portion takes, whether they can pause and resume the course, and what happens if they do not pass the knowledge portion on the first attempt.

How long does the online e-course take to complete?
Most riders finish the online portion in five to eight hours depending on how quickly they move through the material. You can pause and return to the course as many times as you need before scheduling your on-bike training.
What happens during the on-bike portion after I finish online?

You attend scheduled riding sessions in Peru and Fort Wayne where you practice clutch control, braking, turning, and hazard avoidance using training motorcycles in a controlled lot. The exercises are structured to reinforce the safety concepts covered in the online course.

Why do I still need hands-on training if I complete the online course?
The online portion teaches you the concepts and laws, but the on-bike training is where you develop the physical skills needed to operate a motorcycle safely. Both portions are required to meet Indiana endorsement preparation standards.

What do I need to bring to the on-bike sessions in Peru and Fort Wayne?

You need to wear long pants, a long-sleeved shirt or jacket, gloves, and boots or sturdy shoes that cover your ankles. A helmet is provided if you do not already have one.
How soon after finishing the online course can I schedule riding time?
You can schedule your on-bike sessions as soon as you complete the online portion, depending on availability. Most riders book within a few days to a few weeks after finishing the knowledge course.
