Why Motorcycle Coaching is Required in India
India is a country with a large two wheeler riding population and it also witnesses one of the highest 2 wheeler related accident fatalities every year. Despite that, when it comes to motorcycle training, people learn from unqualified friends/family/relatives and are unable to find high quality, professional instructors. They have low awareness of the various benefits of motorcycle coaching. As the motorcycling industry is maturing in India, the need for safe bike riders and professional coaches is on the rise.
