Supercharge your riding experience
Experience tactile thumb control when riding with Moto Bt'n — an innovative handlebar controller with an ultra-bright LED matrix display for phone control and silent group awareness.
Built by an active rider, for riders
I'm Jan, a passionate motorcyclist and the creator of Moto Bt'n. I am developing this device as an independent solopreneur — investing my own time, personal savings, and miles on the road. I wanted to eliminate two daily frustrations: dangerously fumbling with phone touchscreens while wearing gloves, and the constant wind noise and chatter of helmet intercoms that ruins the peace of the ride. Moto Bt'n is my answer: a rugged, tactile button unit right at your thumb that gives you control, safety, and silent group connection.
Two essential functions in one compact unit
Designed to keep your hands on the grips and your eyes focused on the road.
Handlebar Phone Remote
Operate calls, helmet audio, and supported navigation apps with positive, physical clicks you can feel through thick riding gloves.
Silent Bt'n Connect Mesh
Stay aware of your riding buddies (low fuel, pauses, lost rider alerts) without noisy intercom chatter or cellular internet.
Handlebar Phone Remote
“Control your phone with ease”
Operating a smartphone screen while riding with gloves is challenging, inaccurate, and dangerous. Moto Bt'n mounts directly next to your handlebar grip, letting you control essential phone features without lifting your hands from the bars.
Built with distinct, physical micro-switches so you always know your click registered.
Cockpit POV Video Clip (3–5s Silent Looping MP4)
Rather than a heavy, low-color GIF, the proven standard on modern Kickstarter and hardware launch pages is a lightweight, crisp looping MP4 video (<1.5 MB). Shot composition: Camera mounted on rider's chest or helmet (rider's POV). Showing the left hand resting on the handlebar grip, an insulated riding glove thumb naturally clicking Button A while cruising, with the smartphone screen mounted above reacting instantly. This visually connects the tactile feedback with road safety.
Phone Calls
Safely answer or decline incoming calls with a single thumb press, right from the handlebars.
Supported Navigation Apps
Control map zoom, route overviews, or mode toggles in compatible navigation and riding applications without stopping.
Audio & Media
Play, pause, skip tracks, and adjust volume through your helmet speakers safely while cruising.
Bt'n Connect feature
“Stay aware of your riding group”
Bt'n Connect links devices directly together using a decentralized radio mesh. It serves as a lightweight alternative to traditional motorcycle intercoms — giving you instant, glanceable updates without distracting voice chatter.
Because it communicates directly from unit to unit, it works reliably anywhere — even deep in mountain valleys with zero cellular signal.
Signal your pack
Need fuel, a rest break, or spotting a road hazard? Broadcast it to all fellow riders at once with a single press of a button.
- •Instant 1-click broadcast without opening apps or looking at screens
- •Thumb stays on the grip, fingers stay over clutch and brake levers
At-a-Glance Group Awareness
Stop looking for others in vibrating rear-view mirrors. Group updates appear clearly on your handlebar display.
Configurable status symbols communicate immediately without needing voice intercoms. Click any state to preview the matrix symbol:
Automatic Lost Rider Detection
If any group member drops behind and gets out of range, the rest of the group is alerted immediately and automatically. No one gets left behind.
- •Zero mobile reception needed — direct device-to-device radio mesh
- •Eliminates constant anxiety of checking mirrors on twisty mountain roads
Group Touring on Mountain Pass
A wide, atmospheric photo of 2–3 adventure or road touring bikes riding in formation through a scenic bend (e.g. Alps, Pyrenees, or Bohemian Highlands). Demonstrates the real-life setting where silent group alerts eliminate intercom chatter and maintain ride flow.
Engineered for the Real Road
Click you feel with gloves
Real mechanical micro-switches provide distinct physical tactile feedback even through thick insulated winter or leather gloves.
Sunlight-readable LED matrix
Ultra-bright LED pixels stay crisp and readable under direct midday sunlight, eliminating touchscreen wash-out and reflection.
All-weather IP67 sealed
Sealed against torrential rain, dust, and continuous engine vibration. Built tough for long-distance touring and gravel trails.
Zero cell signal required
Direct device-to-device wireless mesh communication works completely independently of mobile data and cellular towers.
