Over-the-Air updates

Over-the-Air updates

Manufacturers are eager to enhance the functionality of their motorcycle models post-production, aiming to position their products as innovation leaders. The rapid integration of user-driven improvements remains crucial for manufacturers, as they prioritize promptly addressing customer feedback and aligning their products with changing expectations. This commitment ensures that manufacturers do not have to wait for the model’s next production cycle to meet and exceed customer demands.

Updates over the air (FOTA) is a cloud-based service that allows manufacturers to simply and reliably optimize the vehicle without requiring a visit to the workshop. It also makes new or improved functions available directly to the rider.

Function on Demand

Function on Demand

With functions on demand, riders are able to buy additional features for their motorcycle such as special riding modes for off-road or the racetrack. This allows riders to customize their motorcycle even after purchase. Functions on demand do not require a visit to the workshop, increasing convenience for riders.

Update process

Functions can be purchased easily in the manufacturer’s app like in any other online store, from home or on the run. Once the feature has been purchased and downloaded to a smartphone, the rider can install it on the motorcycle by connecting the phone to the bike.

When the motorcycle is in a safe state, such as at a standstill, the installation process starts. After successful completion and reboot of the vehicle, the rider is good to go. When manufacturers deploy updates, the rider will get a notification and can start the same process.
