Standard or Complete — which one should I choose?
Choose Standard if you want the full beginner foundation and you’re not sure yet whether you want guided street riding right away.
Choose Complete if you want that extra step into real-world riding from the start. It includes the 3-hour on-street traffic class led by an instructor plus more flexible traffic and road test training scheduling.
If you’re unsure, start with Standard and upgrade later.
Why the SFU training lot gives beginners an advantage
Urban Rider’s practical training runs at SFU Burnaby, North Parking Lot. The lot is comparable in size to training areas some schools use for classes of 15 riders, but Urban Rider caps practical training at 8 riders.
That combination matters: more room to learn, less time waiting in line for drills, and more direct coaching while you build the core habits needed for the MSA and for confident riding.
