EMS Professionals
Bike Labs is a course for professional EMS personnel who already have medical training or work alongside EMTs and Paramedics in close proximity.
This 2-4 hour course will help professionals familiarize themselves with motorcycles and other related two wheel vehicles. Motorcycles and their counterparts are vastly different than the typical vehicle and present unique issues when a patient is involved.
Bike Labs
Bike Labs is taught by vetted Bikersinc members in good standing who have gone through and passed the Riders Rescue training course(s). The reason being is because these are seasoned riders and have years of experience around motorcycles and associated clubs.
This allows professional EMS to interact with the very people they may end up encountering during an incident. This will help them to have a better understanding and perspective into things such as certain protocols followed by different types of motorcyclists.
For example, if there's a Motorcycle Club (MC) member involved, including diamond clubs, EMS will learn proper MC protocols in relation to things such as cuts (vests) and more in order to avoid potential conflict. All classes are held at the Bikersinc facility, unless noted otherwise.
Due to the nature of this course and vehicle demonstrations involved, there is no traveling instructor.
Bike Labs is a specialized course of Two Wheel Trauma, an educational program of Bikersinc.org, a 501(c)(3) tax exempt nonprofit organization. Donations and sponsorships are tax deductible.
Bike Labs is best for all levels of EMS providers, RNs, Firefighters, Law Enforcement, Chiropractors, Emergency Department personnel.
The Courses

EMS personnel will learn basic parts of a motorcycle, how to do proper lifts without tools, gauge how different motorcycles handle and weight differences between them.
This includes unique identifiers on how it relates to a patient and proper helmet removal.
• Electric Motorbikes
This includes e-bikes and hybrids. Unlike conventional motorcycles, these vehicles come with additional dangers and hazards to a patient and rescuer.
