Who We're Here For

For Riders

Quick question before you scroll: how did you learn to ride?

If you're like most riders in the US, the honest answer is "I taught myself." Maybe a weekend course to get the license, a few tips from friends, then years of trial and error on public roads. Now hold that against this: you'd never get on a plane with a self-taught pilot. Yet almost every one of us rides self-taught, in traffic, surrounded by drivers who don't see us.

That's the way things have always been, and it is what ThrottleWise exists to change — from most riders being self-taught to every single rider getting the very best training, personalized to them, practiced anywhere, on their own schedule, and always free. None of it is our opinion: every lesson brings proven techniques and ways of thinking from the best riding schools and fifty years of crash research to you, in words you can understand and use on your next ride.

And here's the contradiction that drives everything we do: motorcycles have never been safer — better brakes, better tires, better electronics. So why have rider crash statistics repeated, almost unchanged, for decades? Because the machine was never the weak point. The rider is the part nobody ever finished training. "The best rider you can be is also the safest rider" — and when every rider finally has access to the best training, those decades-old numbers start moving toward zero. Think of the lives saved and serious injuries prevented, year after year, as every new rider starts out with this priceless resource.

Don't take our word for it. Watch a sample lesson right now — free, complete, exactly as every rider gets it.

Corporate Sponsorship Program

A California nonprofit · EIN 39-5030027 · Sponsorship by the year, the way a racing team does it · Tax treatment varies by partnership package

ThrottleWise sponsorship works the way a racing team’s does. A sponsor backs the Ladder for one calendar year, January 1 to December 31, and its name and logo close every lesson in the level it backs for that whole year, including any lesson we update during the year. Each fall we set the sponsors for the coming year. Nothing is locked for good: every place is re-earned and repriced each year, so the brands on the Ladder are the ones that showed up this year. The Ladder itself never closes: it is online every day of the year, and riders climb it in every month the weather allows.

The audience your brand reaches

Founding sponsors, 2027

The sponsors of 2027 are the founding sponsors of the Ladder. They are named as founding sponsors, permanently, on the Ladder page, and they have first choice to renew their level for 2028 at that year’s price. No price is locked beyond the year you buy. A lesson keeps a permanent credit for the brand whose money filmed it, for example “filmed in 2027 with the support of Michelin”, whoever sponsors that level in later years.

The Manufacturer Program and the giveaway bikes

Motorcycle manufacturers have a place of their own for the year: funding plus machines, ridden in the lessons as they come from the factory and given away to riders. Drawings are open to every rider, no membership or purchase required. Your motorcycle is the one riders learn on, and the prize everyone wants to win.

Compliance built in: a giveaway bike is a high-value prize, so drawings run on equal-odds, no-purchase-necessary rules with a free entry route open to all riders, prize-value disclosure, and likely state registration — protecting the manufacturer's brand and the program.

What partners get

Tax treatment varies by partnership package — please consult your tax advisor.
