What Moto-Trip does

Moto-Trip is a France-based community platform launched in January 2012 that enables motorcyclists to share, discover, and plan scenic rides across 60+ countries. Its core product is a web platform with native iOS and Android applications built on OpenStreetMap/Leaflet with optional IGN map overlays, featuring a proprietary route planner with 'Sinueux' and 'Ultra-Sinueux' calculation modes that optimize for winding roads while avoiding highways and city centers. Members can search and browse 26,000-55,000+ shared rides (figure varies by page), upload rides from GPS devices in GPX/KML/ITN formats, export routes to GPS devices and third-party navigation apps (Google Maps, OSMAnd, Scenic), and organize community events.

The company operates a three-tier revenue model. A free, ad-supported base tier provides ride discovery and basic roadbook creation; a Premium subscription (€4/month, €10/quarter, €40/year) unlocks advanced sinuous routing, ad-free browsing, ride modification, and full mobile app functionality. Since 2017, Moto-Trip has also operated a curated marketplace for guided motorcycle trips (Séjours moto) sourced from Atout France-certified professional operators, generating marketplace commission revenue. Customer satisfaction on these guided trips is reported at 4.7/5 with a 96% recommendation rate. The platform serves primarily individual motorcyclists (long-tail hobbyist consumers) across Europe with secondary reach in North America, South America, Asia, Africa, and Oceania, and is operated by a team of 1-10 people with no disclosed external funding.
