๐ Who I Am
My name is Lorenzo and I'm a full-stack developer with ~5 years of experience working on web and mobile apps. My tech journey has been focused on building with modern JS frameworks (Next.js and Astro), Go for robust APIs, and Flutter for cross-platform mobile development.
But beyond the code, I'm a passionate motorcycle rider. Like many of us in the riding community, I've struggled with the eternal question: "When did I last change that part?" Memory fails, spreadsheets get messy, and basic notes apps just don't cut it. After one too many times second-guessing maintenance dates and scrambling to find service history before a long ride, I knew there had to be a better way.
๐ ๏ธ What I'm Building
Enter MotorManage โ a smart motorcycle maintenance companion that's designed to be as reliable as your bike should be. It helps you:
- Track part wear and durability with smart monitoring
- Get timely maintenance reminders before issues arise
- Manage multiple motorcycles in one clean interface
- Bonus Feature: Automatically adjust your music volume based on riding speed (Android exclusive for now)
What started as a personal tool to keep my own bike in top shape has evolved into something bigger. After sharing it with riding buddies and seeing their enthusiasm, I realized there's a real need for a purpose-built solution like this. The motorcycle community deserves better than generic vehicle maintenance apps that don't understand the unique needs of riders.
๐ฆ Current Features
- Smart Part Tracking: Sophisticated wear monitoring and alerts
- Multi-Bike Support: Perfect for riders with multiple machines
- Speed-Based Music: Dynamic volume adjustment while riding
- Clean, Intuitive UI: Built with Flutter for a smooth experience
- Zero Cost Entry: No payment info needed for beta access
iOS version is ready and will be released after the testing round โ so iPhone users, hang tight!
๐บ๏ธ The Road Ahead
While the current version focuses on core maintenance tracking, I'm excited about what's coming next. Here's a peek at the roadmap:
- DIY Assistant: AI-powered chat to guide you through part replacements and troubleshoot symptoms
- Touring Companion: Customizable checklists for long rides, including maintenance checks and recommended tools
- Service History Sharing: Easy export of maintenance records for mechanics or future buyers
- And More: The roadmap will be shaped by beta user feedback
But remember โ joining the beta now means getting all these features for free when they launch!

๐ง The Journey So Far
This started as a side project born from frustration. I wanted something that understood riders' needs โ not another generic vehicle tracker bloated with features nobody uses. While I'm still building solo, every decision is driven by actual rider feedback and real-world usage. The focus has always been on creating something that feels natural to use while riding, not something that gets in the way of the experience.
