How do you learn to ride the motorcycle?

Can you learn to ride a motorcycle without knowing how to ride a bicycle?

  • If you don't know how to ride a bicycle first, will it be considerably harder or even impossible to learn to ride a motorcycle?

  • Answer:

    it will honestly not make much of a difference at all. the skill set required to ride a motorcycle and the skill set required to ride a pedal bike have very extremely little overlap. if you learn to ride a motorcycle and years later become a very skilled and knowledgeable rider, chances are you will still have no idea what you're doing on a bicycle ;P the sense of "balance" that some people may refer to that is required to ride a motorcycle is needed at extremely low speeds and is totally different than that required to balance on a bicycle due to your riding position, the weight of the bike, where the bike carries its weight, and the steering/suspension geometry.

Can you? Yes. But, having the sense of balance required to ride a 2-wheel vehicle must be developed first in order to become a good rider. That sense of balance is best learned on a bicycle. Why? You will fall several times when learning to ride. Having a 30 lb bicycle fall on top of you hurts a lot less than a 500 lb motorcycle.

Bicycle is cheaper and safer to crash, but other wise riding with either requires 2 wheel balance skills. Coasting down a hill is the easiest, totally concentrate on balance.

l learn the ride the bicycle good first.. at least 5 years before even thinking about the motorcycle. my 6 year old can ride a bicycle already!

I would DEFINATELY think that it would be, yes. I wouldn't WANT to even tempt it without knowing how to balance a bicycle first.

They are not the same. Riding a bicycle has nothing to do with riding a motorcycle.

It Will be harder, because you still have to learn to balance.
