01
Find a ride. Tap I'm in.
Open Motava and see what's riding this weekend near you. Every ride shows the meeting spot, the times, the pace, and who's hosting.
Saturday, meet at 8:30, kickstands up at 9:00. The ride got posted. Somewhere in the Facebook group. Or the WhatsApp chat. Or that one text thread.
Then it got buried. Under the next post, the next meme, and a feed that shows it two days late.
One ride. One link. The whole plan. Where to meet, when you roll out, the pace, the roads, who's leading and who's on sweep.
The motorcycle group ride appKickstands up. Together.
Find group rides near you, or post yours once and get everyone there. Coming to iPhone first.
The problem
Group rides live everywhere. So they get missed.
A ride gets posted in the Facebook group, mentioned in WhatsApp, and confirmed in a text thread. The meeting spot changes in one, the time in another. Unless you're on top of every chat, you find out Sunday night.
How it works
Three steps from posted to rolling.
02
Post it once. Share one link.
Organizers build a ride in three steps, choose who can see it, and share one link to the group, the chat, or a text. Riders without the app open it in any browser.
03
Run the day. Then run it again.
See who's going, who's waitlisted, and who still needs the briefing. Assign your lead and sweep, post updates in one place, and next month run the same ride again in a tap.
Ride expectations
No surprise gravel. No surprise pace.
Every Motava ride says what kind of ride it is before anyone joins: the pace, the road surface, highways or not, the gear, and whether new riders are welcome. Riders accept the rules before they're in, so the parking-lot briefing stays short.

Questions
What riders ask us.
When does Motava launch?
We're building it with ride organizers right now. Join the waitlist and you'll hear the day it's ready. iPhone comes first.
Do my riders need the app?
No. Every ride has its own link that opens in any browser, and riders can say they're in from there.
Does it replace our Facebook group?
No. Keep your group. Post the ride in Motava and share the link in the group, the chat, or a text.
Will Motava track my location?
Not at launch. Live location for ride day comes later, it stays off unless you turn it on for a ride, and it ends when the ride does.
Is it only for clubs?
No. Clubs, riding groups, a few friends, or one rider who wants company on Saturday. If you ride with other people, it's for you.
What about Android?
iPhone comes first and Android follows. Tell us what you ride with when you join the waitlist.
