Motorcycle lessons and IBT training in Mullingar

The county town of Westmeath, Mullingar has busy enough streets to make a rider sharp and quiet lakeside roads to practise the basics on.

Learning to ride from Mullingar

Mullingar has a great range of roads to practise on once you're riding: quiet lanes out towards Lough Owel and Lough Ennell, and town traffic for when your control is solid. That progression from quiet lakeside lanes to a busy market town is exactly what builds a confident, safe rider.

We cover Mullingar and the surrounding area including Rochfortbridge, Kilbeggan and Castlepollard.

  • 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.

Pre-test at the Mullingar test centre

If your test is in Mullingar, we can do your pre-test there. The RSA centre is at the Government Offices, Bellview Estate, on the Dublin Road (N91 HDA2). Mullingar is one of the centres we cover for pre-tests, so you'll go through the U-turn, the slow ride and the emergency braking on the roads and junctions around it.

You can check the address and the licence categories it covers on the RSA's list of test centres.
