With MotoLert

Your Ride on the Map and Your Motorcycle in the Garage

When you already know the route you can open the map without entering an address. MotoLert is designed to keep your speed and nearby camera zones in view. Reported hazards are shown alongside that riding information.

The digital garage keeps maintenance records and invoices with your motorcycle. You can bring together its mileage and documents with photos so that its history stays in one place.

The planned free version includes ads. Premium adds motorcycle guidance and group positions refreshed every few seconds. Group positions require a connection.

Before a ride

Does Waze replace group-ride planning or a maintenance log?

MotoLert brings a motorcycle garage into the same app as your riding map. Premium also adds guidance and group positions refreshed every few seconds with a connection.

Review the route and shared stops before departure. Selecting Motorcycle in Waze does not by itself confirm a scenic route. Agree on meeting points before riding with friends.
