“Connected vehicle technology has come a long way, but the powersports industry was lagging behind in its adoption,” said Alex Leonov, Founder and Managing Director of MotoLink LLC. “We wanted to close this gap, and bring the benefits of connected vehicle technology to all of the powersports industry players. Countless development hours and two patent applications later, we’ve built a scalable and customizable platform, essentially a turn-key solution to instantly add connectivity to a new or existing vehicle and link it securely to the cloud. The opportunities for new revenue streams and operating cost savings the MotoLink platform unlocks are endless, from enabling contextual offers to performing secure over-the-air software updates to bringing concierge and emergency service to the riders.”

MotoLink is the first industry-wide platform that is brand agnostic and can benefit each OEM, as well as insurance companies, fleet operators, dealerships, and service shops. MotoLink’s use of blockchain technology is a milestone for the industry. Not only does it securely protect the user data, but it makes an introduction of a cryptocurrency possible, thus opening a whole new world of opportunities.”
