Discover the most suitable types of motorcycles for beginners, based on your profile, and the essential gear to ride with confidence.

Taking your time

Managing your early stages progressively

Getting your license doesn't mean mastering everything from the start. On the contrary, the first months are the most important for building confidence. The ideal approach is to progress gradually: ride often, but on familiar routes, vary driving situations, ride solo then with a passenger. Don't hesitate to redo handling exercises or take a post-license training course.

It is by honing your technique and reflexes that you become a safe, responsible rider… and one who is truly ready to enjoy your machine to the fullest.

Versatile and accessible

Roadster: balance and maneuverability

The roadster is often the first choice for young riders.

Easy to handle, with an upright position and good balance, it suits both urban commutes and road trips. Light, stable, and responsive, it allows you to progress without feeling overwhelmed. If you're looking for an all-purpose machine, the roadster is an excellent starting point.

A strong, but demanding style

Sports motorcycle: performance and precision

Sports motorcycles captivate with their sleek design and dynamic performance. But be aware: their forward-leaning riding position demands a certain level of physical fitness and good reflexes.

These are ideal bikes for those who enjoy spirited riding, on winding roads or leisure circuits, provided they know their limits.

The ally for mixed commutes

Trail: comfort, height and versatility

The trail is perfect for those who want a motorcycle capable of handling both the city and off-road paths.

Its high riding position, comfortable handling, and ability to absorb road irregularities make it a reassuring and enduring bike. It's an excellent choice for riders who love getaways and long distances, alone or with a passenger.

A suitable mount

Which phone mount should you choose?

Once you have chosen your motorcycle, think about equipping your cockpit intelligently.

At Shapeheart, each type of motorcycle has its dedicated mount: the Moto Pro BOOST is ideal for roadsters, the Mini-Boost half-handlebar is designed for sports bikes and the classic mount with silicone strap is perfect for trail bikes as it absorbs vibrations on all terrains.
