Take the Basic Rider Course on a Scooter!

In response to the increasing popularity of scooters, ABATE of Indiana is pleased to introduce scooter training as part of their nationally recognized Basic Rider Course. This segment of motorcycling continues to grow in popularity so it just makes sense to offer safety courses to those riders. With past studies indicating that 90% of accident-involved riders were self-taught, attending an approved rider education course is a key element of developing into a safer rider.

Scooters will be provided for a limited number of students to ride in the Basic Rider Course. These scooters will be step through motorcycles with an automatic transmission, and will have similar engine size to the training motorcycles provided in the Basic Rider Course. Except that scooters do not require shifting, the classroom and riding skills training for students taking the course on a scooter will be the same as it is for students taking the course on a motorcycle.

If you want to take the Basic Rider Course on a scooter (not a standard motorcycle), be sure to check the box that indicates you want to take this class on a scooter on the registration form since the number of scooters available in each course is limited.
