Kits are available for most models, and there are even some wheel sets with fancy chromed trim, or traditional spoked wheels for a more customized look and feel.

Once the rider is comfortable with their machine then the wheels can be removed and the biker can take their place among the “big boys”.

Some die-hard motorcyclists scoff at the idea of adding 3rd-party accessories to the back wheel, but it's those same people who are opposed to safety helmets, mandatory daytime headlights, and brakes. The fact is, many of these experienced riders keep one or two training wheels on their motorcycle, tucked up, just in case they start to feel tired and want that added feeling of security. A training wheel can, in many cases, also eliminate the need for a kickstand.

As an added safety feature the wheels limit the degree to which a rider can lean into a turn. This little extra safety feature helps to keep the rider on the bike, and the bike off the pavement.

New motorcyclists love the feeling of security motorcycle training wheels give them. "I feel safer having these training wheels on the back end,” said one young rider. “As a novice, I can learn the fundamentals of riding and know that those two little wheeled braces will prevent me from toppling my new Yamaha V-Max…even if I’m sober."
