Thanks for sharing Beth. The class was great, took mine in December last year. Look at it as a win-win - it's only $99, they prep you and you take the test right there in the class, and you get to learn and test drive a Can Am! Yes it's only in a parking lot, but you get to feel it out to see if it's for you. Other advantage is that it provides a discount for insurance since it is a safety class.
I took the motorcycle course 5 years ago and when I got my Ryker a three wheel course was not needed....I took it anyways...so glad I did...it made me more confident knowing how to handle my bike...great video Beth!
I lived in nyc. I took the 3wrc with a driver's license and got the endorsement card. I was supposed to get my permit test done, but then covid hit and closed the dmv. I officially earned my full motorcycle license two weeks ago as a PA resident. In PA the courses are completely FREE!
Just went this past weekend. I recommend going, worth the money. You can always learn something and for a new rider like myself it's even more helpful.
So how do you fail the test and if so do you have to keep paying until you pass it? I have zero motorcycle experience and it took me 3 tries to pass the motorcycle written test to gain my Temps.
Great video Beth. Tim had never ridden a motorcycle or a 3 wheel before so he took that course after I bought him his Ryker. He was able to use his own Ryker for the course.
Thank you so much for this. I've been planning to get a Ryker myself and was curious about the course. I live in Texas and it required that we do the course in order to ride. I've been a bit nervous about taking the course but this makes me feel a little bit better about going. Also, if you visit Can-Am's website, they have a place where you can learn about the course and I found a PDF file which contains the 3wbrc student manual. I've been reading up on it to make things a little easier on myself for when I go to do my course. Just wanted to let you know so if anyone else wants to try and get a little bit ahead of the game like I'm doing. Knowledge is power after all and I want to be one of the safest drivers on the road. Hope to see you on the road, cruise on!
Thanks so much for the tip about the manual. I am going to try and find it and post the link. Try not to over think the class too much. It is a lot of fun and a great experience. After you take it, let us know what you thought of it.
@@RykerRydes I stand corrected. When I was at the course on Sunday, they said you do not need the 2 wheel endorsement first but it’s recommended. Washington State
You should teach the class ...looking great ... i enjoyed learning when it was my turn ... .. everyone should take the course ...another great Ryker Rydes video ...
UPDATE: We passed the class and we definitely stiill had to do 3ish hours of classroom time. I was under the impression that the 3-hour ecourse took the place of the classroom time but I was mistaken. I was also under the impression that when you pass your class and you receive your three wheeled completion card. You take it to the DMV and they give you M endorsement. That's a no also lol You definitely still have to take the knowledge test to get your license. I take mine in 8 days and I'm soo scared lol, only because I never driven any type of bike. In Wisconsin we do our classroom time online which I'm happy about because classroom setting makes me ultra nervous.. Idk if all range time throughout the states are different or the same but this video makes me excited and nervous to see how everything is. Thanks for sharing.
the bike is fully automatic .... yes different states have different requirements...you will be driving up to 30 mph on a closed course doing emergency braking ... turns ... stop start.. its alot of fun ... FOLLOW DIRECTIONS!!!!!! of your instructors ... go easy on your throttle ... the Ryker is very responsive ... GOOD LUCK !!!!
Great question!! Actually it depends on the State you take the course in, but just about every state that I know of lets you retake both the written and skill test a second time. After that it is up to the training site whether or not they would have to pay again.
I finish my traing about a month ago in Kissimmee Florida, as luck has it, It fell on the two hottest days of that month with high humidity, I thought I was going to have a heat stroke wearing a helmet, long pants, long sleeve shirt, gloves and boots, But I pushed through it and passed, The class was well worth it, builds confidence and learned a lot.
TBH, dealing with the heat is what I'm most worried about. I go in mid July around the Piedmont of NC. I got an Arctic Cool long sleeve shirt, their stuff is pretty great for hot weather.
I've been there at MTI they are really awesome, I enjoyed every minute, I really encourage everyone who wants to drive a can am to enroll to the class, most of states requires you to have the endorsement on your driver's license. Even for those states that not require it, I suggest for the newers drivers to take the class you will learn a lot. And you will enjoy it more of the half of the time is practice (driving). It is only 99.00 I really like it.
I am thinking taking the class for can am because I started riding again on my 3 wheel bike and I was injuries at work for 19 yrs ago I till seeing a doctor for my right & left knees injuries to now!!
I loved this course! I took it in 2021 and then in 2023! It's so important to learn how to ride safely and educate yourself. Would recommend this to anyone interested in riding a #CanAm
@@RykerRydes thank you, I lost my knee cap and know wearing a knee brace on a 2 wheel bike not for me, a 3 wheel bike will work, can't wait, and thanks for the luck
I wanted this class but it was booked for an entire year. Ended up just getting a motorcycle 2 wheel endorsement since my Spyder was delivered and just sitting in my garage.
@@RykerRydes Yeah...it's a gift and a curse...gift is freedom to ride both...curse now I am in the market for a 2 wheeler. But I am still planning on taking the 3 wheel class...there is always something more to know.
@@RykerRydes Everything went well. My brother got a Ryker late last year so he had some experience. I, on the other hand, have never ridden one so it was all new for me. My 3-wheel motorcycle license endorsement should be coming tomorrow. I am also going to the Spyder RT test drive event this weekend. I am not going to be buying one anytime soon, if ever, but it should be fun and I’ll be putting this license to use at the same time.
I took my class a few weeks ago and we were Rykers only. I do wish we had an F3 and RT available but that's okay. Test riding an F3 in my area has been difficult to arrange but Can Am has a test ride event for the RT on Friday that I'll be doing. It's seat time if nothing else!
Good morning is that location still active no one never answer the phone.. I signed up online for the Miami Dade location but I see there is a Broward location and I have been trying to call them but no answer so I can see if I can change it to the broward location???
I would have loved to take the course however in Pennsylvania they were all booked. I got my motorcycle license 👍🏽 about 3 weeks ago practicing on my own with my husband.
I've checked with the Arkansas State Police and found out that the safety course, if pasted, counts toward the driving portion of getting your M3 endorsement, but you are still required to take the written portion with them. You must present your safety course completion card to them before taken the written test.
You can ask the school to schedule you only when they get a Ryker. Not sure how often they swap out rides. Definitely worth asking about though. Ps sorry for my delayed response, I am still on my bike trip.
Just signed up for safety course in may for the ryker the only thing I’m nervous about is steering/turning the handle bars for someone that is on disability and isn’t the strongest
@@RykerRydes I don’t want the spyder just the ryker lol I’ve drove a jet ski before I’ve heard it’s kinda like that is that true? If you ever been on a jet ski before
Yes I've ridden many jet skis and I am not sure how similar they are. The Ryker does not have power steering which you can only tell if the bike is going very slow, but once speed picks up, you can't even tell! You are making the best choice taking the class, that is the only way you will know if the Ryker is best for you.
Looks like a good refresher course too. I take the AARP Defensive Driver Course and get a discount on my car insurance. Maybe I can get one for the Ryker motorcycle insurance if I take this course.
Great video. The course is worthwhile for new riders ... and experienced riders coming off 2 wheels, because of some significant differences in accident avoidance. When I bought, BRP covered the entire course cost (up in Canada). Worth asking a dealership to cover the course before you buy (as part of negotiations on final price). Thanks again, Beth.
@@IsaiahSmith-t3w Yes. These require a 3 wheel motorcycle license (endorsement) in most states. Some states require a 2 wheel license. Hope that helps.
Question from me is does it substitute the motorcycle riders safety course for the state of texas. Texas does not require a three wheel endorsement just a motorcycle endorsement? To be honest I don't want to ride on 2 wheels, 3 is perfect for me. I would rather pay the $99 for the can am class vs the 250 for the 2 wheel class
think i screwed up taking can am course. why is it now that i have the 3 wheel endorsement on my license i can't get a motorcycle permit? tried to apply and it says i can't because of 3 wheel endorsement.
I am hoping to get a can am spyder rt sport to travel with my wife. : i have never driven a motorcycle and am a little nervous for when I am ready to learn. I am in my 50's : any tips or suggestions, always say to try new things to break your fears.
So basically it looks like a version of the motorcycle course but with no clutch work, balance and counter steering or braking complexity. Seems pretty simple.
Rykerrides….I just went to take my required motorcycle knowledge test at the Secretary of sate here in Michigan. this is step 1 in getting my permit to drive a Ryker. Sadly I failed the test because 90% of the questions were based on a 2 wheeled motorcycle… such as, where’s the kill switch associated with the clutch ? the Ryker has no clutch !!!! other questions like "when must you put your feet down at intersections, when you should downshift, when you should upshift…when to use rear brake only, when to use front brake only, when to use brakes in conjunction with downshifting etc etc.... all of the questions were far off from what a Ryker rider will actually experience and again, the tests questions were geared only toward 2 wheeled motorcycles. #unfair! so now I have to study for a 2 wheeled motorbike which makes no sense because I have Zero desire to ever operate one and will do little on the states end to ensure im "safe for the road" for other drivers.
Sorry for the late response. Wow that is crazy about your test. Aren't there any three wheel classes/tests near you? If not keep studying...it is worth it!
Hi, I'm in Michigan as well. And you're right about the written test. My husband and I took the 2-wheel course at Schoolcraft College. The instructors were great. We were able to take both the written test and road test through the college. I didn't need to go to the Secretary of State. My husband did but only because he has a CDL endorsement. It's a 3 day course($50). You'll learn alot. However just like you we don't EVER plan to ride a 2-wheel which is why I signed up for the 3-wheel course. I want someone to teach me how to ride my bike safely. The rides and procedures are totally different.
Its little different from my bike because its a 3 wheels but it Piaggio mp3 250ie and I have trouble just lift up my leg over it because I wear right knee brace and left knee total replace from injuries I 19 yrs ago! And I like to get my bike license too! Ryker Rydes
Warning!! NJ went to a hybrid training model. Now, students must complete a 6 hr online class before first day of in person training. This is not mentioned on website. Found out the hard way. Saw open spot for this weekend and registered. Next, received notification email. I was forced to cram all my training into one day in order to meet deadline. I hope they make this up by added more time on wheels. Please call your local place before registering online for details as they may have a non refundable policy.
@@RykerRydes Agree that education is power. Here in the Netherlands (as in the rest of the EU) you also do not need an M3 endorsement (does not exist). However this makes me wonder if I were to bring my Ryker over to the States would I be allowed to drive it on my Dutch license?
I have had a motorcycle license for 35+ years. Then I forgot to renew one year and the dealer I worked for came to me and said, you no longer have a license to drive!!! What, I have had my license for over 40 years!!! Well not anymore buddy. I had to re do the entire thing, Driving test and all. The girl who did my driving test was younger than my youngest child. She passed me with flying colors. Even she thought making me re take the driving part of the test was really silly. Illinois is really just money grabbing. This state should be known as the land of Stinkin, not the land of Lincoln, LOL! Abe is probably spinning in his grave! Well now I don’t have my M class anymore! WHAT now Illinois wants me to re take the ridding part of the motorcycle course! 🤬🤬🤬😡😡 this State sucks to say the least.
Yup, that’s this state for ya. My family immigrated here in the late 1700’s on my Mom’s side of the family. I would Donald Trumps cash to move everybody and support all of them! Much of my family has moved to Florida. I’d leave in a minute but my wife says no way, she has a ton of family here too. We also have 8 grandkids. We’re staying in this high tax nightmare. 😡

Couldn't agree more! Thanks for sharing Nick!
Im taking my class in July in New Jersey! I cant wait!
Best of luck. I just moved to nj. Can't wait to start taking these classes.
Hi Maggie, you are going to love it and learn so much!
I took the course in July 24, in Atl, Ga. Great instructor & great experience passed the course with a breeze.
Great to hear, I highly recommend it to new and experienced riders.
I took the motorcycle course 5 years ago and when I got my Ryker a three wheel course was not needed....I took it anyways...so glad I did...it made me more confident knowing how to handle my bike...great video Beth!
Thanks Brenda! I did the exact same thing! Well worth the time and money.

Yes, it is hit or miss on what is available to ride. Thanks for watching!

I've been driving my car for 47 years with no issues, do I have to take another vision test for riding a Ryker on the course?
The course itself does not have a required vision test. Your state may require it though. 🤔
I've checked with the Arkansas State Police and found out that the safety course, if pasted, counts toward the driving portion of getting your M3 endorsement, but you are still required to take the written portion with them. You must present your safety course completion card to them before taken the written test.
It’s interesting how each state varied so much. Thanks for sharing.

You can ask the school to schedule you only when they get a Ryker. Not sure how often they swap out rides. Definitely worth asking about though.

think i screwed up taking can am course.
why is it now that i have the 3 wheel endorsement on my license i can't get a motorcycle permit? tried to apply and it says i can't because of 3 wheel endorsement.
Are you getting a two wheel bike? If so, you can always take a 2 wheel motorcycle class and get that endorsement.
@@RykerRydes i tried online with local rmv and it said i can't because of that 3 wheel endorsement on my license now.
Can you use your own Ryker for the course
I’ve seen both. It really depends on the location. Certainly doesn’t hurt to ask.
Hey! Scott was my teacher! Put the down payment on my Ryker that second day of class. I'm loving it!

It's a 3 day course($50). You'll learn alot. However just like you we don't EVER plan to ride a 2-wheel which is why I signed up for the 3-wheel course. I want someone to teach me how to ride my bike safely. The rides and procedures are totally different.
Who was the camera person? Was that Chris?
Nope, my friend Nanette.
Its little different from my bike because its a 3 wheels but it Piaggio mp3 250ie and I have trouble just lift up my leg over it because I wear right knee brace and left knee total replace from injuries I 19 yrs ago! And I like to get my bike license too! Ryker Rydes
The Ryker sounds like the perfect sized ride for you.
@@RykerRydes I wish 🤞
Need find a place away from big city to take my Can-Am tests because last time I went to big city I got lost just looking for Can-Am office!
Can a new video be made without the wind? Really hard to hear.
Sorry
Warning!! NJ went to a hybrid training model. Now, students must complete a 6 hr online class before first day of in person training. This is not mentioned on website. Found out the hard way. Saw open spot for this weekend and registered. Next, received notification email. I was forced to cram all my training into one day in order to meet deadline. I hope they make this up by added more time on wheels. Please call your local place before registering online for details as they may have a non refundable policy.
Yes, more and more states are switching to this method.
👍 🇦🇺 🦘 Great info for new and long term riders alike.
Thanks Steve (from the future lol)
Invest in a wind sock for your mike. Sound was to low. I could hardly hear him
Thank you for watching!!
Can-am charges $199 here in texas
Same here, but there usually a $99 off special going on. Either way, worth every penny.
Unless California changed their laws in the last 12 years, they do require a motorcycle endorsement for motorcycles on the road.
California does NOT require a motorcycle license for 3 wheel bikes. For 2 wheel bikes, yes, CA does require an endorsement.
@@RykerRydes gotcha
dont buy treal or brothers loud exhausts because they are illegal in Cali ... i hear they make u sign a waiver be safe Mike ..
interesting to watch this video since no education is needed to drive a Can Am ryker or spyders here in Sweden.
There are a few states here that do not require anything more than a driver's license. Education is power, I loved the class.
@@RykerRydes Agree that education is power. Here in the Netherlands (as in the rest of the EU) you also do not need an M3 endorsement (does not exist). However this makes me wonder if I were to bring my Ryker over to the States would I be allowed to drive it on my Dutch license?
Tomorrow is my big day.
Congratulations 🎊
Tomorrow is my big day..
How was it????
I have had a motorcycle license for 35+ years. Then I forgot to renew one year and the dealer I worked for came to me and said, you no longer have a license to drive!!! What, I have had my license for over 40 years!!! Well not anymore buddy. I had to re do the entire thing, Driving test and all. The girl who did my driving test was younger than my youngest child. She passed me with flying colors. Even she thought making me re take the driving part of the test was really silly. Illinois is really just money grabbing. This state should be known as the land of Stinkin, not the land of Lincoln, LOL! Abe is probably spinning in his grave! Well now I don’t have my M class anymore! WHAT now Illinois wants me to re take the ridding part of the motorcycle course! 🤬🤬🤬😡😡 this State sucks to say the least.
Awww I am so sorry to hear that! What a waste of time and money!
Yup, that’s this state for ya. My family immigrated here in the late 1700’s on my Mom’s side of the family. I would Donald Trumps cash to move everybody and support all of them! Much of my family has moved to Florida. I’d leave in a minute but my wife says no way, she has a ton of family here too. We also have 8 grandkids. We’re staying in this high tax nightmare. 😡
Messed down and not 6 ft apart hell Fouche hell Biden
Huh?
Just kidding don't be a Democrat
