Moto Bt’n made its debut at EICMA 2026, shown off in Hall 22 by its creator Yan, a rider from Prague who built the device as a hobby project before realizing other riders might want it too.
The unit solves a specific problem for group riders who want to communicate without wearing a Bluetooth headset. Small buttons mount near the handlebar grip, right next to the stock control cluster, letting riders flip through a menu of symbols without taking their hands off the bars. Pick a symbol, like the turnaround icon for a missed exit or the fuel icon for low gas, and it pushes out to every other unit in the group instantly.
Yan built his own wireless protocol running on the 2.4 GHz band, the same open frequency used by Wi Fi, so there’s no licensing headache riding around the world. It works mesh style too. Riders don’t all need to see the same unit, they just need to see any other unit in the chain, and messages hop along until everyone gets the update. Yan says he tested range at 1,300 meters with solid reception, though he jokes that riding a group a mile apart doesn’t really count as riding together anymore. Updates take up to two seconds to spread across the group, a tradeoff Yan chose to avoid flooding the airwaves.
The units currently run off USB battery packs rather than built in cells, partly because new rules require swappable batteries without tools, which clashes with the fully sealed, waterproof design Yan has already tested through two seasons of UK weather, rain and road spray included.
Right now the system supports up to 20 units, though Yan says that’s just a firmware limit he could raise if riders want bigger groups.
