Meet Motobit Sentinel - a wearable device that informs you about dangers while motorcycling without the need to take your eyes off the road.

 

Motobit Sentinel is your smartest motorcycle companion, packed with features to enhance your riding experience and safety while on the road. A multi-functional tool that keeps you informed so you can focus on riding without being distracted!

No matter if you are going for a quick ride or you are planning a tour over several days, Motobit Sentinel is always there to join you and provides you valuable riding and road information with strong vibrations so you do not need to take your eyes off the road.

Motobit Sentinel provides various information about what's ahead of you. Ranging from radar controls, road and traffic information, or sudden weather changes: there is a lot of useful information to benefit from while riding. You decide what to get informed!

 

With the support of Motobit you can challenge ALL the roads: Stay safe and get notified if you are approaching a curve too fast based on YOUR PERSONAL riding behavior!

How can Motobit Sentinel know how I ride my motorcycle you ask?

Our algorithms analyze the data provided by the sensors of Motobit Sentinel and your smartphone to understand how you usually approach curves! Approaching speed, cornering speed, lean angle, braking deceleration and road geometry are just some of the information used to determine your personal riding behavior.

A single tour with curvy roads provides all needed information for Motobit to define YOUR PERSONAL riding behavior. Your profile will grow with you and gets more accurate the more you ride!

Combine YOUR PERSONAL riding behavior with a detailed road database and you get an expert motorcycle riding companion always with you.

 

Never be surprised of challenging curves and unknown road sections: Moments like “This was a close one!” are a thing of the past!

 

Motobit Sentinel does not only increase your riding safety,  but it also helps to AVOID fines too: set a personal speed limit tolerance for each road type and get notified if you exceed it.


It is easy to overlook a speed limit, but Motobit Sentinel has got you covered!

If something unexpected happens, you can alert your emergency contacts with a simple touch of the easy-to-reach button on Motobit Sentinel.

A text message with your position will be sent to your emergency contacts, that can come to help you or alert the rescue forces so that you can get support as soon as possible.

With Motobit Sentinel you can be sure to never lose your friends while riding in a group!

Connect several Motobit Sentinel devices and define a maximal distance. As soon as one of your group members exceeds this distance, other motorcyclists of the group will be informed.

Do you know that every time that you take your eyes away from the road to check your dashboard, smartphone, or navigation system you are riding blind for almost 2 seconds? At 90 kph this is equal to riding blindfolded for around half a football field!

For this reason, Motobit Sentinel is designed to inform you through powerful vibrations, so that you can keep your eyes on the road while riding.

If you are wondering if your smartwatch can do the same, forget it! We have developed dozens of prototypes and found a solution that is powerful enough to be perceived no matter which motorcycle you ride!

Do you have tight racing gloves or are used to wear a watch or a bracelet while riding?

Do not worry: Motobit Sentinel is designed to be used in many positions, with a strap, a clip, or as it is: Simply put Motobit Sentinel in your jacket pocket, attach it to your trousers' belt or kidney belt and continue to enjoy riding with maximum comfort while Motobit Sentinel is watching your back!

Accompanying the Motobit Sentinel is the Motobit app.

Connect Motobit Sentinel to your smartphone with the latest Bluetooth 5.0 technology built-in the device to have access to all its features and much more.

In the Motobit app, you can find a resume of your rides with a detailed analysis made possible by our advanced algorithms, ready to be shared with your friends or other motorcyclists.

Moreover, through the Motobit app, you will have the possibility to update the software of Motobit Sentinel to receive also future features.

If you are still asking yourself why you should choose Motobit Sentinel instead of using or combining different tools such as a smartwatch or a navigation device?

Check out how Motobit Sentinel stands out in comparison with other devices, that are commonly used by motorcyclists.

We designed Motobit Sentinel with one goal: TO IMPROVE YOUR SAFETY while motorcycling.

It does not matter which motorbike you ride or for how long you have been on the road, Motobit Sentinel will watch your back during all your future rides.

 

Motobit Sentinel will come with an interchangeable silicone strap using a 22mm quick-release mechanism as well as a detachable clip for maximum comfort. For charging purposes, a USB cable using a magnetic connector also comes in the box. That's all you need to getup and running!

 

We are passionate motorcyclists, just like you.

As much as we love motorcycling, we realized how dangerous it can be.

Intending to improve motorcycle safety for everyone, we founded motobit GmbH.

Since the start of this project, a lot of things happened: we got incubated in Science Park Graz, one of the most important high-tech startup incubators in Austria, and received public support for our research work from both FFG and AWS, two of the biggest nation-wide research funding institutions.

We found new motivated team members who share our passion.

We hit the road a lot on our Ducati Scrambler and Kawasaki ER-6n to test both the Motobit app and Motobit Sentinel (and had a lot of fun doing it).

We made a lot of new friends that helped us to bring Motobit Sentinel a step further with their suggestions and feedback.

It was a long journey that glued us together even stronger to become motorcyclists to make motorcycle riding safer!

Ride safe,

Alessio & Nick

As being motorcyclists ourselves, we know what a risk is.

This is our first crowdfunding campaign but we are working on Motobit Sentinel for more than two years and have already taken many measures to mitigate risks.


We have already found a European manufacturing partner for Motobit Sentinel as well as a logistic partner for fulfilling the shipment of the perks.


Moreover, we have already developed an Android version of the Motobit app, that is available in the countries of Austria, Germany, and Italy and can count of more than 2000 active users.


We are committed to the highest standards of excellence in safety and transparency alike. We will keep backers updated at every step of the way, and in case any changes, delays, or other incidences occur; we will inform our backers immediately and honestly.

 

 

We have different communication channels open for every backer or any person who is interested in our safety solution. You can always contact us here on Indiegogo or get in contact through our socials and of course via mail at info@getmotobit.com.
