What Motorama does
Motorama is an Italian specialty retailer of motorcycle equipment — helmets, jackets, pants, gloves, boots, riding suits, protections, electronics, luggage, and accessories — operating a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront (motorama.it) supported by 35 physical retail stores across Italy. The company distributes both authorized international brands (Shoei, AGV, Alpinestars, Dainese, Shark, Nolan, HJC, Arai, Schuberth and others) and six proprietary house brands developed under its parent group: 130R (helmets), Armure (rider apparel), Roost (off-road), Naja (maintenance consumables), Husker (tools), and Ridekont (intercom systems). Its technology layer is a conventional e-commerce platform with product catalog, inventory management, and order tracking, integrated with payment providers (Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Google Pay, Klarna, Scalapay) and logistics partners (GLS, SEUR, Correos Express) enabling global shipping from a Solsona distribution center.
The commercial model is one-time retail sales to individual motorcyclists, segmented across six riding-style verticals: Sport/Racing, Touring, Trail/Adventure, Scooter/Urban, Motocross/Enduro, and Cafe Racer/Vintage. Pricing is standard retail with a price-match guarantee, free shipping above €59, and a tiered MyMotocard loyalty program offering member-exclusive pricing, Motopoints accumulation, birthday rewards, a €20 referral incentive, and an extended 30-to-60 day return window. Customer support operates in six languages (Spanish, English, Portuguese, Italian, German, French), handling 1,000+ daily consultations at a 95% resolution rate.
Motorama is wholly owned by Motocard Bike, S.L., a Spanish private limited company (Barcelona) that acquired the business in June 2022 and integrated it into the broader Motocard group. The parent has earned B Corporation certification, the operating entity is GDPR-compliant, and the combined MyMotocard loyalty base spans 480,000+ members globally with 35,000+ in Italy. Marketing channels span YouTube buying guides, Facebook, Instagram, and email newsletters offering up to 15% first-purchase discounts. The company employs 11–50 staff and is operationally active with no publicly disclosed revenue.
