Our team

A bike shop that builds its own software.

RideLoop is made by Motacycles Ltd, a trading bike shop and workshop. We hand bikes to strangers, take deposits and watch the forecast every week, and RideLoop is the system we run all of it on.

In loving memory

Miles wasn’t just a dog – he was the heartbeat of every weekend ride. Zoomies through the trees, muddy paws, and tail wags on the summit. He may be gone, but his love for the outdoors lives on in every corner of RideLoop and our hearts.

Where it started

We built it for our own counter first.

For years a booking at Motacycles touched a widget, a fleet spreadsheet, payment links and the inbox, and none of them shared stock. RideLoop started as the fix for our own shop. Now other operators run on the same system we use every day.When something is wrong, we usually feel it at our own counter before anyone else does.

The story

Miles & Bella

RideLoop started with a dog. Meet Miles.

Miles joined Bruno on trail rides every weekend, and it was his favourite thing in the world — second only to his purple ball.

Sadly, Miles’ time with us was far too short. He passed away at just 4 years old after being diagnosed with a genetic disease. We did everything we could to save him, but eventually, it was his time to leave us. What stays with us, though, is everything he gave us: the adventures, the laughter, and those unforgettable weekends on the trails.

In honour of the incredible life he gave us, and the unforgettable rides we shared, we created Motacycles: a bike shop with its own rentals and tours, so that other people could experience that same sense of adventure, freedom and joy.

RideLoop is the software we built to make it all happen — and now, it is available to you too.

The memory of those rides is at the heart of everything we have built. Every booking, guest portal and trail day powered by RideLoop is designed to give someone else the chance to have an amazing day outdoors — to create the kind of memories, connection and happiness that we found on those unforgettable weekends with Miles.

That is also why our AI Assistant had to be called Miles. He was the smartest, brightest dog we have ever known, and so much more than a pet — he was a true member of our family. Naming our AI after him is our little way of keeping his spirit of adventure at the heart of what we do.

And don’t worry, Miles’ sister Bella is carrying the adventure forward. She is just as much an outdoor explorer and bundle of fun, keeping the love for the trails alive, boosting morale at the shop counter and inspiring the team behind RideLoop every day.

How we build

A few rules we don’t bend.

They shape every release, and they’re the reason the product works the way it does.

We use it first
Every feature runs at Motacycles before it reaches another operator. If it doesn’t hold up on a busy Saturday, it doesn’t ship.
Nothing advertised before it ships
If it’s on this website, you can use it today. We don’t sell “coming soon”.
Tested the way you’ll use it
100% automated test coverage on the business logic, plus real browsers checking out against Stripe on every change.
Honest numbers, honest nudges
A figure we can’t compute is a dash, not a zero. “Almost full” means it really is.
