Motorcycle Rider Assessment

Discover Your Strengths. Identify Your Opportunities. Ride With Greater Confidence.

Have you ever wondered how good your motorcycle riding really is?

The SmoothRider Motorcycle Rider Assessment provides a professional evaluation of your current riding ability through an observed road ride and detailed video analysis. There is no test to pass and no pressure to perform—just an honest assessment of your strengths and opportunities for improvement.

Whether you have recently passed your test, returned to riding after a break or simply want an independent opinion of your riding, this assessment provides valuable insight into your skills and confidence on the road.

What Is Included?

Your Rider Assessment includes:

  • A pre-ride discussion to understand your riding experience and objectives.

  • An observed road ride of approximately 90 minutes on a variety of road types.

  • Video recording of key sections of your ride.

  • Observation by an experienced SmoothRider coach.

  • A comprehensive written assessment report, sent to you after the assessment.

  • Personal recommendations to help you continue developing as a rider.

There is no mentoring or coaching during the assessment ride, allowing us to observe your natural riding style and provide an accurate evaluation.

What We Assess

During the ride we observe many aspects of your riding, including:

  • Observation and planning

  • Road positioning

  • Cornering approach

  • Speed management

  • Braking and acceleration

  • Hazard awareness

  • Overtaking decisions

  • Use of mirrors and lifesavers

  • Machine control

  • Riding smoothness

  • Confidence and consistency

Our aim is to identify what you already do well and where small changes could make a significant difference to your riding.

Following your assessment you will receive a personalised written report that includes:

  • An overview of your current riding standard.

  • Your strongest riding skills.

  • Areas where improvements could be made.
