Gear Conversion Course: What Is It and What Are the Benefits

If you’re a Category B licence holder looking to drive a vehicle with manual gears, or an automatic driver aiming to build confidence in manual vehicles, the Gear Conversion Course at Alpha MCT is designed with you in mind.

What Is a Gear Conversion Course?

A gear conversion course bridges the gap between automatic and manual transmission riding. It’s a short, focused training session that helps riders confidently operate motorcycles with manual gearboxes. Many learners begin their journey on automatic scooters due to their simplicity, but eventually want the flexibility and control offered by manual bikes. That’s where gear conversion comes in.

At Alpha MCT, our gear conversion course is a hands-on session delivered by experienced instructors. We provide a safe, supportive environment where you’ll learn how to handle the clutch, gears, throttle, and braking smoothly on a manual bike. The course typically takes place over a few hours and includes both off-road and on-road training, depending on your current experience level.

Who Is It For?

This course is ideal if you:

  • Completed your CBT on an automatic bike and now want to ride a manual.
  • Own or plan to buy a manual motorcycle.
  • Want to improve your riding skills and overall control.
