Motomoto — Motorcycle Network

01 Problem

A media company needed to evolve a simple motorcycle route tracking app (Motobael) into a full-featured social network for motorcycle enthusiasts. The platform required GPS route tracking, interactive maps with multi-layer filtering, social features (chat, feed, friends, events), and monetization through advertising and radio streaming.

03 Solution

Evolved the original Motobael codebase into a comprehensive 44-module social platform. Built real-time GPS tracking with track recording and playback. Designed interactive map system with 26+ Swift files handling multi-layer filtering (events, users, places, routes). Implemented hybrid Swift/Objective-C architecture for incremental migration. Added social features: personal + public chat, activity feed, friend management, motorcycle garage, events, and community places (gas, repair, racing).

04 Outcomes

06 Constraints

• Must maintain backward compatibility with existing Objective-C codebase
• Russian + Thai localization required
• Multi-provider social auth (Google, Facebook, VKontakte)
• Offline route recording capability

07 Innovation

Evolved from simple route tracker (Motobael) to full social platform with 44 independent feature modules. Interactive map with multi-layer rendering (events, users, places, routes), custom marker visualization with text overlays, and GPS track serialization for offline recording. Note: App was delisted from App Store due to RU region restrictions.
