Motorcycle lessons and IBT training in Leixlip
Leixlip sits where Kildare meets Dublin on the M4, a busy town with the Liffey running through it. The mix of suburban roads and motorway links makes it good ground for a learner.

Learning to ride from Leixlip
With plenty of people in Leixlip commuting towards the city or the big employers nearby, a bike makes real sense, and we'll get you riding one safely. We start on calmer roads before bringing in busier stretches.
We cover Leixlip and the surrounding area including Maynooth, Celbridge and Lucan.
Bike and gear provided
No machine of your own? You'll ride ours, with the gear sorted, so there's nothing to buy before you start.
Small groups
On the road it's usually one or two riders per instructor: calm, RSA approved and at a pace that suits you.
Built around your test
Everything ties back to what the examiner wants, so you're ready when test day comes.

Come pass your IBT with usPre-test at the Leixlip test centre
Leixlip has its own RSA test centre, at the Springfield Hotel on the Dublin Road (W23 W280), and we do pre-tests there. You'll practise the U-turn, the slow ride and the emergency braking on the roads around it. We cover the rest of the RSA's Dublin test centres too.
You can check the address and the licence categories it covers on the RSA's list of test centres.
