Today, there are 1.25 million registered motorcycles in the UK that need protection. Theft insurance premiums are costly, wired alarm systems are expensive and standard trackers can drain the battery. Monimoto is a company that has launched an affordable, easy-to-use, reliable, smart GPS tracker with a year’s battery-life that cleverly alerts your phone if your motorcycle is moved.
In the past 3 years Monimoto did manage to become market leader by delivering the best in-class customer service, not to mention the product itself. During 2020, the company doubled the annual revenue (again), surpassed 1.3M € in revenues and is committed to repeat the same in 2021!
How did you come up with the idea for the company?
Back in 2013, we were seeking a way to build autonomous, battery-powered anti-theft solutions for bicycles. When we failed (too big, too expensive, battery lifetime too short), we pivoted to motorcycles, and built devices specifically for them. Since then, we’ve been focusing on motorcycle and power sports related markets, and this focus gave us nice rewards in terms of customer trust.
