FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Monimoto

• Is there any subscription fee?

  There is no forced subscription. We only take 3 Eur monthly fee for GSM connectivity (Billed annually. Payment is done via Monimoto app). If you choose to use your own SIM card - you won't pay us a dime!

• Why is it better than a tracker for £35?

  For starters, trackers need installation - wiring. Monimoto does not. So it does not drain motorcycle battery. Trackers are always online, while Monimoto sleeps quietly. Trackers are configured through USB and software or SMS, while Monimoto does this via Bluetooth.
  Monimoto calls your mobile phone in one minute to notify you of unauthorized vehicle use.

• Can I use it as a GPS tracker?

  Monimoto is an alarm system first. Without your keys nearby, Monimoto will enter alarm/tracking mode. It will start sending you location notifications every 5 minutes while the vehicle is moving and every 30min when idle in Alarm mode.
  Note! - when active, the GPS and GSM receivers will reduce your battery life considerably.

• Which smartphones can be used with Monimoto?

  It can be used with iOS 9.1 or Android 5.0 devices. The newer the better. The only condition: it should have Bluetooth 4.0+ (BLE), as the connection between your phone and Monimoto was designed to use this technology.
  Bear in mind that Android app is still in beta mode and could have minor issues.

• Can I use my own SIM card in Monimoto device?

  Well, technically you can but consider this:
  - Our SIM card has roaming enabled by default so it will work anywhere in the European Union plus some other European countries.
  - With our SIM card you will be notified when it is about to expire.
  - 2 months of free GSM service across EU. Only 3EUR per month later !
  

• What is alarm mode?

  This activates when Monimoto suspects theft. After being triggered by movement and not finding the KEY, Monimoto wakes up, turns on GPS, GSM and other communications, and immediately sends notifications to its owner.
  This mode uses more battery power, so avoid using it when not needed.

• Batteries

  We use 2xCR123 batteries, easily found in convenience stores. Once the batteries are drained (no worries, you will be notified), simply open the device, remove the old batteries, insert new ones, and close the device

• Key

  The Key fob acts as a key. Without the KEY, any movement or vibration activates Alarm mode. You can add up to 3 keys to one Monimoto device. If you happen to have more than 1 Monimoto, the same key fob can be used with different devices.
