Shubhangi is an excellent instructor, she is patient and methodical, proceeding step by step, making sure that you get the basics of riding a bike right. She provides a bike to learn on so you don’t need your own to start learning. She ensured that I was confident to navigate the roads of Mumbai by the end of the course. I am so glad I found her!

— Reema Shah

I had this crazy idea to do a 3 month long road trip on a motorcycle through India/Nepal the only problem is that I have never ridden a motorcycle before so I contacted first gear and got in touch with Sheetal. I told Sheetal about my plans and she was incredibly professional and helpful and she was able to formulate a training program for me that would have me on the road in 7 days. We worked hard within those 7 days. I never would have thought I could learn how to ride a motorcycle so fast especially since I am a foreigner and unfamiliar with Indian customs in regards to driving but sheetal’s attention to detail, expertise and enthusiasm gave me the confidence to keep going at it.

Sheetal went above and beyond and helped me rent a motorcycle and helped me plan for my trip, sharing with me the best places to visit and expected road conditions/hazards along my route. I am now on my 3rd day of my road trip and I could have never done this without The help of Sheetal. Even to this day she maintains contact with me making sure I’m alright. So in closing If you want to learn how to ride a motorcycle ask for Sheetal the best motorcycle instructor in Mumbai.
