Bike riders can visit SortedRide, an approved and accredited trainer, for an assessment of their riding skills.

If no significant areas of weakness are found, SortedRide issues a certificate to that effect.

Any rider issued with a certificate is then in line for an insurance discount from one of the many insurers who have signed up to support the scheme.

If there are areas that would benefit from further training, the rider would qualify for their certificate after successfully completing the recommended training.

By undertaking an assessment of your riding ability, SortedRide can tailor a development programme to suit your individual needs via a combination of practical and theoretical learning.

Many of the leading motorcycle insurers have signed up to this scheme and are prepared to offer substantial discounts to riders who can show they can ride to the ERS standard.

The insurers sponsoring the scheme are:

AA Ins, Bennett’s Ins, Bikesure, Carole Nash, Chandler Direct, CIA Ins, Devitt, E Bike, MCE Ins, Motorcycle Direct, Norwich Union Direct and Lexham.

The Enhanced Rider Bonus is supported by the following underwriters:

AIG, AXA, Chaucer Ins, Equity Red Star, Groupama, Hastings Direct, Highway, KGM, Link/ Zenith, NIG, Norwich Union and Royal & Sun Alliance.
