DEFENSIVE RIDER LESSONS FOR MOTORCYCLE AND BODA BODA RIDERS
The latest statistics show the low-cost motorcycles now kill more people than vehicles with 1,421 riders and pillion passengers dying in 2019 compared to 1,049 drivers and passengers who lost their lives from motor vehicle-related deaths.
Boda-boda riders losing lives on Kenyan roads has been on the rise, with 2019 registering the highest number at 725 - Business Daily Newspaper.
Our unique Defensive Rider Training is designed to reduce road fatalities and keep riders and their passengers safe. The training is conducted with motorcycles that have been modified for the sole purpose of rider training.
The training motorcycles are fitted with a specifically designed Anti - Crash Training Aid ™ ( ACTA™)
ACTA™ was designed and built in Kenya by Glen Edmunds and his team (see photo – left). It is the first device in the world built solely to make rider training safe and successful both “on road and off road.”
This unique device allows the rider to fully explore aggressive braking, collision avoidance, weight transfer and slide control without fear of injury to the rider or damage to the motorcycle. Training is designed to simulate real life hazrds that riders encounter on a daily basis..
Additional defensive rider exercises are included with a dead weight pillion to mimic riding with passengers (see photo right). The 2-Day Defensive Riding Course includes informative theory followed by six hours daily riding instruction on our purposely-built training track, complete with a skidpan with aquaplaning capabilities.
