Pheonix Motorcycle Training has launched a new Ai-powered tool to help nervous learners overcome their fears in the run-up to their test.

The new tool, which is live now on the official website, is free for the first two prompts, and then available at £4.99 for 40 coaching exchanges. 

The tool has been designed specifically for motorcycle riders, drawing on the principles and exercises set out in Claire Jones's published work, alongside established approaches to coaching, psychology, learning and human factors.

Like any Ai tool, it’s extremely easy to use. You simply type in or say the issue or worry you have leading up to your practical test, and the Ai will respond with both practical advice on how to improve as well as help on how to overcome the mental anguish and worry.

For instance, I told the tool I was worried about U-turns on my upcoming, and imaginary, practical bike test. The system asked me to give some more specifics about what was causing the issue, to which I responded I was dabbing a foot and also running wide.

The system then thought about it for a moment and responded with four pieces of practical advice I should use on my test. It then went on to tell me what was going on in my head that was causing the worry to reoccur.

The system is designed to work with riders who are taking on their CBT and Mod 1 and Mod 2 motorcycle tests, and if handing over the future of your riding career completely to Ai sounds daunting, there are some safeguards in place.

First of all, the technology isn’t there to replace qualified motorcycle instructors or professional coaching, it’s to compliment it. 

Secondly, it is said to recognise it limits, and is said to signpost users towards additional support if they need it.

Speaking about the new system, Mark Jaffe, owner and chief instructor of Phoenix Motorcycle Training, said: 

“Our highest priority at Phoenix Motorcycle Training is to make riders safer. This new tool gives us the opportunity to approach this task from a completely new direction, combining our high-quality practical and theory training with helping people better deal with the confidence and mental aspects of learning and riding.”

If you are taking your test and would like to try the system, or know somebody who is, head to the official website for more information.
