Aleksei Katuntsev – your category A riding instructor
I am Aleksei Katuntsev – your A-category instructor, avid motorcycle traveler, and advanced riding coach. My goal is to give you real-world skills, making sure you ride smart and handle your bike with confidence.
I’ve spent years riding across Estonia and abroad. For me, a motorcycle means freedom, but it also demands responsibility.
That’s why I teach more than just the exam requirements – I’ll show you how to be visible, anticipate risks, and stay calm in real traffic.
Riding is taught by a rider.
I teach from the saddle, not from a car window.
- I ride.Every day in season, now and then in winter. Not once upon a time, and not just a couple of loops in good weather.
- I follow you on a motorcycle.In traffic, in 95% of lessons I am on the same kind of vehicle as you: I see your line and posture, feel the same wind and road surface, and talk to you through earphones. On the training ground, too, I don’t hesitate to get in the saddle myself. I don’t drive behind you in a car, lecturing from there.
- It stays that way.As the school grows, every new instructor must be an active rider who rides himself, regularly. Otherwise there will be no new instructor.
That is not a given: in many schools the instructor follows the student in a car. When choosing a school, find out when your future instructor last rode a motorcycle. Chances are, the answer will surprise you.

Experience
I qualified as a driving instructor in 2022 and I am studying traffic safety at Haapsalu College of Tallinn University. I hold licenses of all categories and am entitled to teach all categories except tractors; several hundred students have passed through my hands. Motorcycle journeys have taken me to Scandinavia, Europe and Asia – as far as Nordkapp. I teach in Estonian, Russian and English.
Why motorcycling is a separate school, not an add-on service
A motorcycle is not a smaller car. Balance, where you look, braking on a slope and on a slippery surface, a maneuver in an emergency — these are skills in their own right. They cannot be taught properly “on the side, alongside the car”. That is why motorcycle training here is a separate school under its own name: it has to be a specialty, not a line in a price list.
The instructor has to ride — every day, not once upon a time
This is a matter of principle for me. Motorcycling can only be taught by someone who rides constantly: who knows the start and the end of the season, wet tarmac, a crosswind on the bridge, city traffic and long stretches of open road. Not someone whose last time in the saddle was ten years ago. And not a weekend rider whose experience amounts to a couple of loops in good weather.
It genuinely troubles me to see people who already hold a motorcycle license but whose riding position is completely wrong, and who can neither brake nor steer their way out of a dangerous situation. The reason is often simple: their previous instructor either did not ride properly himself, or could not be bothered to pass those skills on. I am convinced that a large share of motorcycle injuries starts exactly there — not with the power of the bike, but with what the rider was never taught.
No production line
At the moment I teach motorcycling myself, alone. I do not go for volume: if more people come than I can genuinely guide, I would rather have a waiting list than let a lesson become a formality. When the school grows, the condition stays the same — every instructor must be an active rider who is out on a bike himself, regularly. Otherwise there will be no new instructor.
The same principle applies to car training at Kindel Rool. We have never been a production line and do not intend to become one.

My students
Last year 65 of my students hit the road; they ride both on asphalt and off-road. The main thing is not passing the exam but how ready you are to ride a motorcycle on your own afterwards.
Students say
I don't know… passing the driving test in a week with absolutely no prior experience and no extra lessons… That can only happen in the hands of an extremely skilled instructor. I didn't believe it myself. But he did. And he taught not only what the exam requires, but the things you really need.
"Nobody at the exam will say a word about this, but I want it to be perfect. Practice it again."
Now I dare to recommend him. If you want to get your A license too, Alexey Katuntsev of Kindel Lenks Motokool is absolutely the right choice.
Loads of wisdom, great humor, totally chill lessons, and you come out 10x smarter every time. The guy practically lives on a bike, on the road and off-road, so he has plenty of experience to pass on.
Either way, you earned my respect, and I thank you!
