The motorcycle app that tells you how good the actual road surface is — not just how curvy it looks on a map. Crowdsourced road quality, real-time hazard alerts, and a trip planner that replaces hours of Street View scouting.
The problem
You plan the perfect ride with Calimoto or Kurviger. The curves look amazing. Then reality hits: potholes, gravel, broken asphalt. Your friends spend hours in Google Street View checking roads before every trip. There has to be a better way.
Current apps optimize for curviness but have zero data about road surface quality. You get sent down potholed farm tracks and dead-end gravel roads.
Planning a multi-day trip? Get ready to spend hours walking every road in Street View and aerial photos, just to check if the asphalt is decent.
Oil on the road, fresh gravel after roadworks, a new pothole — no motorcycle app warns you about hazards the way Waze does for cars.
80% of riding is commuting, but every moto app is built for weekend touring. Where's the one-tap "get me to work safely" button?
The solution
Every ride with Tarmoto passively collects road surface data via your phone's accelerometer. Over time, we build a database of road quality that no competitor can replicate.
Your smartphone's accelerometer measures road roughness as you ride. Every rider contributes. Every road gets a quality score. The more people ride, the smarter the map gets. You'll see a heatmap overlay showing road quality from excellent (smooth asphalt) to poor (potholes, broken surface) — before you ride it.
ROAD QUALITY OVERLAY
Each 100m segment gets classified from accelerometer data. Multiple riders = higher confidence. Fresh data always wins.
Draw a region, set your preferences (days, daily km, min road quality), and get an optimized multi-day route. No more Street View scouting. Every road comes with a preview card showing surface quality, curves, hazards, and rider reviews.
Waze-style community hazard reports — but built for motorcycles. Gravel, oil, roadworks, potholes, animals, police. Reports auto-expire and need rider confirmation to stay active. Your commute learns your route and warns you proactively.
One-tap start for your daily ride. The app knows your route, checks for new hazards, shows weather conditions, and tracks your weekly riding stats. Finally, a moto app that works Monday through Friday.
Invite your riding group to a shared trip. Everyone can suggest roads, vote on alternatives, and chat — all inside the trip planner. One person finds a great pass? Drop it in, the app re-routes the day to include it.
