Ride More. Stress Less.
About CLEAR Moto
CLEAR Moto was born from the desire to help anyone become the motorcyclist they've always wanted to be. We are a motorcycle training program that boosts your riding skills. Our community-inspired programs focus on making you a more proficient rider with an emphasis on motorcycle control, safety, and personal breakthroughs, for both on-road and off-road riding disciplines. We're a woman-owned and operated business with over 5 years of professional motorcycle experience and tens of thousands of miles, guiding, coaching, and riding.
We are based in Albuquerque, NM and also travel the US to provide motorcycle rider training. CLEAR Moto believes that all riders deserve to have a safe and supportive environment to learn how to ride and operate their motorcycle. For us, that means we are accepting of all people, regardless of all the stuff that seems to separate people. This, however, does not mean we are tolerant of nasty behavior toward our staff or students.
We offer motorcycle rider training to all genders. Most of our courses are co-ed while we do also provide lady and non-male only specific courses as well. The goal for us to remain inclusive and we recognize that that is a blurry line at times. There is a demand for lady and non-male only training, so we want to provide that safe space for those riders. As for the men out there, CLEAR Moto is looking more for allies for woman in the motorcycling than offering a mens only course. Being that CLEAR Moto was founder and operated by a woman, we have strong feelings about how woman and non-males should be accepted and treated within the sport and community.
Our Coaching Philosophy
The simplest way we have found to describe this is by looking back at our public school teachers. There was likely a subject you didn’t like, but was it the subject or the way it was (or wasn’t) taught to you?
Our CLEAR Moto coaches provide a safe, supportive, encouraging, and non-judgmental learning environment for all our riders. We want you to enjoy motorcycling as much as we do. By teaching each rider our Five Foundational Skills we can see a boost in Confidence, Proficiency, and Control. Which in turn, allows more riders to Ride More. Stress Less.
Our coaches only focus is on you, the student. Your coach will never “show off” or boast about themselves. All our coaches are skillful riders and must ride a level higher than that they are teaching (Novice level is taught by an Intermediate level coach as the minimum requirement). Not only do we continue to refine our coaches riding, we also refine their coaching style, always looking to improve. Learning to ride a motorcycle is more about how we teach and not what we teach, however what we teach is critical too. Our aim is to ensure you have a great time learning and leave with more Confidence, Proficiency, and Control.
About Cassie Maier
Cassie Maier (pronounced Cass-ee My-er) is our founder and lead coach. While she was young adults had frequently told her she’d make a great teacher. It wasn’t until she found motorcycling that she finally found something she wanted to teach. Being a coach is very near and dear to Cassie’s heart. Seeing the boost in confidence, proficiency, and control in her students is what fuels her fire and encourages her to always strive to be better as a coach and as a rider. She takes her coaching very seriously and recognizes that how she approaches teaching a person can make or break their desire to ride a motorcycle and her secret goal is to make badass riders out of people as she possibly can.
