  • The center located in Santa Perpètua de Mogoda reopens its doors after more than a year closed due to sanitary restrictions
  • Customers can now formalize their registrations or reserve gift vouchers through the HIS website
  • Both facilities and motorcycles and equipment are subject to strict safety and hygiene protocols
  • Initially, the training offer consists of six courses aimed at motorcyclists of all levels

  

The Honda Safety Institute resumed its activity. For more than a year, this motorcyclist training center, which has become a European benchmark, has been closed in compliance with government restrictions caused by the health emergency. On May 15 , with all the necessary safety and hygiene measures in place, the facilities will once again welcome all motorists who wish to participate in any of the courses focused on learning the techniques and concepts for safe driving .

 

Through the HIS website, https://motos.honda.es/Honda-Instituto-de-Seguridad/ , customers can now choose the course that best suits their needs and enroll in it, or give security to a family member or friend through a gift voucher . The training offer will initially start with six courses (Basic, Medium and Higher Level Motorcycle; Beginner and Advanced Scooter; and Higher Level + open road) aimed at users who already have a driving license regardless of their level of experience and type or brand of motorcycle they own. The courses taught in the off-road area, both for children and adults, will not be available in this first phase of restarting the activity.

 

How could it be otherwise, the school has been completely adapted with measures to avoid as much as possible the possible contagion of participants and monitors, with measures such as daily disinfection of motorcycles and protective equipment used by students. As usual, the registration includes the free transfer of the motorcycle and gasoline, the necessary equipment to carry out the course (body protectors for the back, shoulders, chest, elbows and knee -except for the helmet and gloves-) and insurance civil liability.

 

Albert Cavero, director of the Honda Security Institute: “The relaxation of the restrictions related to the spread of as well as the implementation in the HIS of a rigorous protocol of preventive measures, allow us to restart the training activity in our center of safely and after many months of inactivity. The wait has been long, but finally we can offer our driving courses to the motorcyclist group coinciding with the arrival of good weather and at a time when the use of the motorcycle makes more sense than ever, as it is a form of mobility ‘ Covid Free ‘”.
