only relatively. There are better option for the money.

I have been thinking about something to give me early warning of anyone messing with my bike when Ieft parked away from home. Your video sold me on the Monimoto 9 and I have now ordered one - thanks for the discount.
My pleasure.
Got the old one Andy, works really well.
It’s the only Italian electric gubbins that actually works, unlike Ducati and Aprilia.
If you forget the fob and go for a ride, you can put the device into sleep mode from your phone.
Nice one…
oh ech its Italian!!

Hi Andy, interesting video. I have both MoniMoto and BikeTrac installed on my bike. The upsides with MoniMoto are lowing cost, zero install cost, low subscription, no battery, drain and the key fob functionality. Downside are less sensitive than the Bike trac to motorbike being disturbed rather than moved from the location, eg being lifted into a van, not recognised by insurers (my one said not) , not Thatcham accredited, no one except yourself to find it if police too busy. Lower location accuracy, If the bike was hidden in a row of garages GPS (3 to 5m accuracy) which will not allow police to obtain a search warranty, whereas BikeTrac has also RF which goes down to 1 m. Your right all have pros and cons neither perfect🤷🏻♂️
Cheers Mr Flyer been a big fan of the channel for years just been on the monimoto site and got my 10% discount thank you and keep up the good work 👍
Glad to help!
@@TheMissendenFlyer الله يوفقك ويرزقك يارب
I thought the spider was on my screen. A failed wipe 😂😂
Hehe!!
Lmao me too
I saw the spider better than your phone screen 😂. Nice review I will have a look at buying one
Have used the older Monimoto 7 for a while. Effective, inexpensive system that's very sensitive - just lifting the bike off the side stand is enough to trigger the alarm. Great "peace of mind" tracker - especially when your bike's parked on the street 👍
I have MM7 on 2 bikes over 2 years as problems with false calls while driving them. They changed out the fobs for free. No complaints on MM. I have 1 doing the same thing again, they said change out the battery. Works great. I think they need to update the app so it will tell you when the battery is low and needs to be changed. Other than that it’s a great product…….
Nice vid i purchased the moni moto 7 from your previous vid ages ago very happy with it the 129 is for the ver 7 though :) 149 for the Ver 9 keep up the good work, David
Thanks Andy, been looking at getting one of these for a while. Just purchased using your discount code so thanks for this.
No problem 👍
This video has made me feel very grateful that I live and ride in places where I don't have to worry about people nicking my motorcycle. 😄
Lucky you! Remind me where in the world you are?
@@TheMissendenFlyer I reside and work in southern California's Mojave Desert.
Aha - love the Western Deserts - had a great holiday once flying out of North Las Vegas and around the Grand Canyon, Sedona, Barstow, LA and back...great memories...
Spider will be fine only crawl in one of your helmets 😅, decent bit of kit😊
Andy's garage is a motorcycle store complete with a good number of bikes, all the gear you can wear and way more helmets than one man would ever need :) :) :)
......a good thing, right?
Just ordered one, I have been looking at this brand, great review thank you 👍
Glad I could help
@@TheMissendenFlyer السلام عليكم اخوي معك اختك طلب المساعدة من الله ثم منك والله ياخوي وضعي كتير تعبان حق خبز ماعندي
I actually prefer the previous model Moni Moto with the replaceable lithium AA batteries because built-in, rechargeable batteries eventually loose performance or die, meaning the whole unit is then scrap. Also, what happens if some toe rag steels your bike whilst your Moni Moto is in the house being recharged? The old model alerted you to low battery just the same. The 2 lithium AA batteries take a few seconds to replace, meaning the tracker goes straight back on the bike and they also last about 12 months. So whilst the new one is a little smaller, I think it’s comprised.
Fair enough......
Very impressive piece of equipment. I cant believe it could detect that little bit of movement.
You and me both!
I purchased the Monimoto 7 and found it nearly impossible to find a place to mount it (concealed) on a Triumph Bobber. The batteries needed replacing for only six months. Please don't select the location option to extend battery life when updates are sent. I get alarm calls when riding with the key fob in my jacket pocket! The GSM signal is touchy. I sometimes get a signal loss warning when parked under a covered parking area or in a shed.
You’ve been unlucky - I have none of those issues and mine just works!
Really good bit of kit . You can't be to careful these days ❤
It would be helpful if, after your obligations with the sponsor, you could share your thoughts comparing the monimoto and the sizzapp
Well it's horses for courses - the probem with the sizzapp is the leads from the battery give it away to would be thiefs (and its much larger and therefore trickier to hide) - I guess you have to decide what works best for you.
@@TheMissendenFlyer that's a very good point I didn't consider. thanks for the feedback
5:44 Guest appearance from Mr Spider
Well spotted….
Hi, great review. Have you any experience of the Tracker Nano Plus? Similar idea but Thatcham S7 rated. Cheers
No I haven't
Thanks Andy, just what I need fro the Triumph Rocket 3 GT
No problem 👍
Good system Mr flyer must look into this and see is available in ire....ride safe..from top man😊
I've got an earlier Monimoto after seeing one of your previous videos and in the App, settings you can start active tracking if the bike keys and fob were stolen together but as you suggest probably best to keep them seperate as if the fob is on the same key ring it gives the game away that a tracker is fitted somewhere on the bike, which could mean they start damaging the bike trying to find it.
Yes good tip - thanks for sharing - I should have mentioned that....
Seems like a solid product at a reasonable price point, great review. I am tempted to get one for a bit of peace of mind. The one thing that struck me however is that the automated call presumably comes from various random numbers so caller ID will not be able to determine that it's from Monimoto so it could be all too easy to ignore the call thinking it's spam. So that made me wonder, how soon after the phone call does the app give you the first notification? Of course, just being mindful of the fact that such a call may come through when out and about on the bike is a simple solution, but that could be easily forgotten or not realised in case of it being tampered with/stolen.
It comes from the same number so you can save it and call it Monimoto or Bike Alarm
Thanks
No problem
Hi Andy, is the main difference between the 7 and the 9 only the form factor and the charging? Curious if there is an updated app with more functonality such is pinging my bike location if i'm away or such. If its just charging and form factor i'm quite content with my 7.
It does use a new App for the 9 too I believe - but I'm not sure what the differences are between the 7 and 9 app...all I can say is it's better than the original one I had!
l considered the first incarnation of this tracker but thought it to large to hide so l bought into the PAJ system instead. It doesn't have a key fob, uses adjustable Geofence and movement detect plus a very accurate tracking phone system. However, since the dimensions have been reduced this unit would certainly be worth looking at...
Yes it really is small now….
I bought the 6 version. It only lasted 2 years. All the time on one bike, dry conditions, etc. Changing batteries etc, checking circuit-board which was as new, all tried. Also sim was still under contract. Although i like the system, durability for me was not ok.
Sorry to hear that....I've not had any issues thus far....
Morning Andy, it seems to be a good product but I think you should have declared if the device was provided to you for free by Moni moto and that they are a sponsor of the channel.
I thought I did mention they are channel sponsors? Fairly obvious I would have thought given I flash their logo up at the start of the video saying I’m sponsored by them!! That said point taken - I plainly wasn’t clear enough. Thanks for watching…
Their logo is at the beginning of every video! For full disclosure! Try watching!
@@secretbrad9259 most reviewers will state if the product was provided for free, try watching other videos and maybe you wouldn’t be so patronising
@@secretbrad9259… my thoughts exactly!!
Doesn’t really matter if it was free of paid for. I think if your going to criticise you should unsubscribe
Looks to be a good piece of kit, good review too, 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
Great review as always.
What would you suggest in the case where one doesn’t have cell reception in the underground garage, the bikes parked at ?
Yes, that’s a tricky one, in that case you’ll need to stick to one of the expensive full fat trackers that also have RF features.
Almost identical to the Monimoto 7, which I use on all my vehicles.
I bought the Monimoto 7 two months ago for my new bike. Unfortunately it doesn't fit under the plastics or seat anywhere, so I have a $150 piece of useless plastic in a cardboard box and since the box has been opened I can't exchange it for the new smaller 9.
lovely bike.
Thanks!
Got mine last week, seems good for 129 , think the price has increased to 149 , but with your 10% off still good value i reckon.
Yes apologies - the price has changed since I made the video (I did say "at the time of recording") !! Still great value though I reckon....thanks for watching!
ah damn, Andy! I just ordered an MM9 last week, so missed your discount! Had the MM7 before but they key fob was very fiddly and it started malfunctioning and calling me even tho the fob was in my jacket and I was riding the bike! Could never work out why.
I had the same issue, replaced the battery in the fob and it was still the same so I thought my unit was malfunctioning.
2 year guarantee so I contacted Moni Moto via email, replied instantly. The lass knew her stuff and said it was a fob issue and not the unit. She requested a photo of the inside of my fob so she was sending the correct one out to me, which I sent. 10 mins later notification it was on the way.
It arrived next morning and has been trouble free since. Fantastic customer service.
Great t hear that - I have to say I have found them very responsive....
damn wish i could use your code. preordered mine about a month ago!
Oops!
Great little device Andy not sure if someone want to find it on a bike they could but might give it a go does it give you cheaper insurance? Keep up the great vids Andy regardless of what some people say 👍💪
Depends on your insurance company - in my experience I’ve never had money off because of a tracker (regardless of type and I e tried them all!)
I have mm7 great bit of kit
Used to use Mono but moved over to apple tag, as have multiple bikes.
🏍️🏴
I tried those too but have found them to be very inaccurate and unreliable (in that you can’t always get an up to date fix) - I think reliance on being near an Apple phone is the issue…
Also apple tag will alert the thief to It's presence if they have an iphone
Andy thanks for the video, which is appealing but do you know if Insurance companies recognise the device?
Depends on the insurance company - in my experience no tracker reduces your premiums, they just insist you use them if you state you have one!
Hi Andy, I just followed your link to the companies own website and they are saying it’s £149. Think you said at the end of your video that it was £129-10% discount. 🤔🤔🤔
That is correct -changed the price after I made the video….!!
Good video, but unfortunately the price quoted is for the v7. The new v9 is £149.
Apologies for the error
Nice system on the bike😊
That does look pretty good value. I am looking for a tracker, I have been put off by the thought that my partner, if she downloads the app could track ME when I'm working "late".
Eventually, it will drive you nuts when moving your bike around in the garage and constantly getting alerts.
Unless you always have the fob with you, you WILL find this out.
Also, on ferries or at the dealers for service you will get alerts.
I took my (similar) Datatool off my bike for this reason.
Tip, Apple air tag, cheaper, smaller, no ongoing costs and no annoying notifications.
Tip - Apple Airtags don't work very well! I bought a pack of three specifically to test as people kept mentioning them, I've found them to be very unreliable (couldn't even track my bag through Heathrow airport!!) and pretty useless if you're out in the sticks with location updates being very out of date if no one near with an apple device to report. Better than nothing I guess but not a patch on a proper device like this...
Fair enough, I don't use Apple, I use Samsung smart tags (Android) and find them to work well enough.
Whatever works for you.👍
Yes you’ll receive an alert in those circumstances, but that’s why it has the sleep mode.
it's ARMED!! as long as you cant hear it ticking its all g00d :P
@themissendenflyer ok tracker, thanks illl buy that. But I need your help! Ive got Cardo Pack Talk Edge, BMW R1300GS and android phone. As someone who changes bikes alll the time, and i guss pairs your stuff up. My question is, i can get everything paired and the bike recognises phone and helmet and all the apps work - a bit. Issue is they dont work completely, i might lose voice commands or maybe the nav is a bit weird. Have you come across any tips for this type of thing?
Yes I have - I can never get connectivity to work properly and reliably on any motorcycle I've tried it to date (least of all my own)....in the main I can't be doing with it if it doesn't "just work".....
Hi mate, this is off subject, but perhaps you know or can find out. What happened to the R.E. KX 838 v twin cruiser that was unveiled in 2018 at EICMA.
No idea - sorry!
Would you have to leave the fob with the bike when your bike goes in for a service and/or MOT or is it a case of just having to deal with the notifications and alerts as and when they pop up?
You can turn the device off from within the app for when it goes for service....
Good review...
Glad you liked it
Was all excited at getting 10% off the £129.00 only to find it's priced at £149.00 on their website. £129.00 is for the Minimoto 7. Bummer!
Sorry about that - the price I quoted was correct at the time I recorded the video - They didn't tell me they were putting the price up!!
I had a challenge to the reason they use a fob over a mobile phone. I’m still not convinced
One of the reasons why Monimoto uses a Bluetooth fob instead of relying solely on a mobile Bluetooth connection to a mobile phone is for enhanced security and reliability.
Using a Bluetooth fob ensures that the connection between the device and the fob is more secure and less prone to interference or hacking attempts. The fob acts as a dedicated and secure communication channel, reducing the risk of unauthorized access or tampering with the device.
Additionally, the Bluetooth fob allows for a more seamless and automatic connection with the Monimoto device. Once paired, the fob provides continuous and reliable communication, even when the mobile phone is out of range or turned off. This ensures that you can always stay connected to your Monimoto device, without relying solely on the mobile phone's Bluetooth connection, which can be affected by various factors like battery life or other device limitations.
Overall, the Bluetooth fob provides an additional layer of security and reliability to the Monimoto device, enhancing its effectiveness in tracking and protecting your valuable assets.
Does the code only work in the UK? Trying it from germany and it says the code doesnt exist :(
Really? As far as I know it should work everywhere….no spaces and all capitals??
Thanks for your discount it was £134.10
You're welcome...
Only issue is you hide it then have to either remove it to charge it more often than the 7 so if you don’t remove to charge it it’s going to be easy to find
Not sure I follow the logic here - besides, the battery lasts for ages between charges (up to two years)….way better than the 7
@@TheMissendenFlyer it doesn’t last 2 years the 7 does
@@TheMissendenFlyer did you rush this one through to get it live as the battery life is less and the price you say is for the 7 not the 9 the 9 is more expensive
So you won’t be buying one then Junkie?
@@alanbarnes2920I have a 7 on a digger I am tempted by the 9 for a bobber just because of the size but the 12 month puts me off so may opt for a wired tracker the same as my other 2
Great video MF. Just few days ago I looked at you old video covering monimoto but decided to go with datatool stealth as it helps with insurance premium as well.
I like the idea of this tracker but hard to find any place in a Harley Breakout for hiding it 😊
Fair enough!
How's your Datatool been?
@@thebrowns5337 I have ordered it and just waiting for that to be installed so don't have any experience with that yet. Hopefully soon 😀
I also have a Datatool tracker on one of my vehicles - great bit of kit but expensive annual subscription and it flattens the battery within a day or so if I don't keep it on trickle charge....
@@TheMissendenFlyer Yea I have heard the same about it draining the battery of the bike and I intend to put it on trickle charge. It is very expensive but it also helps with reducing the insurance premiums a bit. I know with some of the super sports bikes, a lot of insurance companies ask for a thatcham approved tracker.
I have been debating about installing some sort of subscription free bike security and currently looking at the Apple Air Tag, anyone on here using this device?
Thank you for all your videos much love.
Lots of people tell me how good AirTags are and so I bought a pack of 3 to test them out, in my experience they are very unreliable at providing up-to-date location information. I wasn’t even able to track my case in Heathrow Airport! The problem with them is that they rely on being near somebody with an Apple product for them to report their location, if like me you ride your motorcycle a lot in the countryside. It means the tracker is often without any signal to report back. That is not the case with the tracker like the Monimoto.
Before I watch this can anyone tell me if it’s a sponsored vid?
Yes it is - at the start and end of the video I put up a logo saying this video is sponsored by Monimoto, and I activate the RUclips feature that say the video contains paid promotion.
@@TheMissendenFlyer ok thanks👍
Am I right in thinking what often happens is this …. Bike gets stolen, you track it to private land, you phone the police who aren’t interested in helping you recover it, land owner gets aggressive when you approach them, nothing more you can do?
Luckily I've never been in that position so don't know....
Not interested in a unit that isn't a "stand alone" device where I also need to purchase an annual subscription. Plus from their web site "Once the motion stops, you'll get a notification with its last-known location about 30 minutes later.". I would want a second by second update, not one about 30 minutes later.
Fair enough.....
Hi Andy can this be used in a car ?
Yes, absolutely!
Cheers Andy just ordered one 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Aaaahhh SPIDER!!! Not very manly Andy? Better call Mrs. Flyer to save you from the intruder, so you dont get nigthmares!!😁

G'day MF,
Tried to blow the spider off my phone screen till I realised it was at your end..😂
Love it….
There is a yearly fee you did say anything about it
I did indeed - it's the fee for renewing the sim (very cheap though - about £30 a year from memory)
He mentions £36 in the vid if you watched it through? Bargain, I have the 7 version for 3 years…still good. Might upgrade on this offer..
Price just gone up by £20 to £149 grrr
Yes sorry about that - price was correct at the time I recorded, I had no idea they were going to raise it!! Still good value I reckon….
Sorry Andy, you'd not make the cut for Blue Peter!
Why!?
I would say if that device has tilt up right and squawk great.
Informing the police that your great bike, high end Land Rover or your Ford 150 Lariat was stolen. They don’t give a rats ass until you fill in all the details of the stolen vehicle and matched with License plates.
I’ve had my truck stolen Ford 150 Lariat right from Airport Hotel in Toronto.
My Ford 150 Lariat ended up in Nigeria. The police treat stolen vehicles just treat as an insurance claim always. They could care less on tracking your vehicle not never on their radar.
Sorry to hear that....
I wouldn’t recommend this unit, anything without wires going in to it is going to be very obviously a tracker. Hide an airtag instead
An AirTag has no wires!!! ….and besides (i have tried air tags) air tags tend to only work in very populous areas - no use if you’re riding out in the country…I found my air tags to be very inaccurate.
Air tags as a tracker are about as useful as putting a ashtray on your motorbike.
AirTag is not a tracer as far it says to the robber that he is tracked 😂 I put one in one of my cars but not sharing with the family. And my wife receives notifications she is tracked 😂😂😂
Yes I bought a pack of three to see how good they were and I have to say they are not that reliable where I live and I can seldom get an up to date location....often hours out of date as these depend on being near someone with an iPhone to work. Clever, but flawed sadly. Couldn't even track my suitcase through Heathrow airport with one in my bag!
£149.00 on your lnk.
Yes apologies - the price has changed since I made the video (I did say "at the time of recording") - sadly I can't control what they charge for it!! Still great value though I reckon....thanks for watching!

@@nickhignett942 Yes no worries...sorry for the change - wish they'd told me!!!
Very good product and at a decent price. Well worth it, I'd say.
They had an introductory offer on it for early orders placed.
Great review Andy, I have the 7 and it works really well. But I must admit the 9 looks like and sleek, charging the unit is a bonus 👍 Mind them spiders 🕷🕸
My 7 does the job and it’s such good vfm, sure this is even better👍.
I also have a Monimoto tracker fitted, it's an exelent piece of kit which, I found out last year when I left the 'fob in my garage by mistake and, my phone kept ringing all day😄 (idiot). The major downside is that it's not recognised by insurance companies as it's 'self fitted '. 🤔.
I’ve yet to have an insurance company give me any benefit for having a tracker fitted (and I’ve tried all sorts!)….
@@TheMissendenFlyer I agree I tested this theory by getting quotes and adding security devices including trackers then got a quote without any devices the cost was the same so in a way it’s best not to add them to a policy because if you add them but forget to use them you void your claim !
If you don’t add them and use them anyway there is less risk
@@junkie1128 Agreed 100%
My bikes alarmed, disk locked, chained, covered, cover locked to bike both ends, and sat in front of a camera. All the best items money can buy, and not one of them recognised by an insurer lol.
Is this device associated with any reduction in insurance premium? If not then just use an AirTag
Air tags don’t work so well in my experience - especially out in the countryside…
Spiders = money, they say in my country.
Bought mine today, hope money was well spend.
Cheers.
It would be good to see a side by side comparison of the improvements between the 7 and 9.
I have the 7 and it's pretty good if it's just the size. I'd just get another 7, but if the signal and tracking has improved then I'd be tempted to upgrade.
What I notice about the 7 is that it can be a bit laggy and somtimes the location can be off by a few meters which can be a problem if you track your stolen bike back to a location and accuse the thief's neighbour and not the scumbag that's stole your pride and joy 😂
0:58 Stick it on your trailer, on your...... -wife- caravan 😅
Seems like a decent product. Might be worth doing a more in-depth review to verify things like: waterproofing, battery life (especially when active during a "theft"), location updates when the bike is on the move (5 minute update increments seem a bit long), and perhaps comparison to other products. I have a Datatool tracker and when my bike was stolen, I was on the phone with the police and was able to give them updates on its location every ~30 seconds which led to a quick recovery.
How much does the datatool tracker cost to purchase/maintain service?
The update increment period can be shortened on both the MM7 and MM9, at the expense of battery life. Might not be a big deal if you have a place to hide the smaller 9 that is easy to get to for battery recharges, but I can't even find a place to hide the 7 that keeps the transmitter on top, let alone some place I can access without disassembling the bike when it comes time for battery replacement.
@JustTheHighlights - I thought 'wife' too!!! Make a great tool to catch out cheating spouses!!
Nice info Andy , I think that will be my next purchase, and a decent 10% off cheers. Hope the shoulder is holding up.
Bought the very first version around 6 years ago, brilliant. Just got the new Version 9.
Could I place this somewhere in my.Campervan ..or car for that matter .
Yep!
Great video Andy, about a very clever product… simplicity itself it would appear… but then I started reading some of the comments… ffs… stay strong sir, you must wonder sometimes if it really is worth the effort 🤣🤣🤣
Much love 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼❤️
Yes there's always a danger when you post product reviews - one of the reasons I don't do it too often....thanks for the kind words!
👍 Z900RS looks the business.
Thank you….
Saw one on the motorway today - they really do look awesome.
@@thebrowns5337 Yes it is a cool bike for sure....mine is growing on me!
A lot of faff. Why not simply hide an Apple AirTag on the bike?
Because they don't work very relaibly on bikes in the countryside in my experience (and I have tried them)....
Hey, great recommendation, what tracker would you recommend for a ducati? Same tracker?
If you want standalone then yes…
12-06-24. Just a minor whinge. After having to wait until Monimoto had the version 9 back in stock, your discount code was no longer valid...😕
Well that's annoying - surely it's when you place the order that counts?
FYI, price has already risen to £149, plus £36 per yr subscription
Yes sorry about that - as I said price was correct at time of recording!!
I’m about to purchase a new bike and this would appear a better solution than previous trackers I’ve used. Is it a recognised brand for insurance purposes? Thanks, great vid 👍
No in my experience. Not sure other types are either though. But still worth it. I have an earlier MM version and it still works fine….this new one is a decent upgrade tho. I’ll likely use the offer and upgrade.
I find insurance companies seldom recognise or give you any benefits for trackers - and I've tried them all!
How long did you say the battery lasted ?
I think “up to a year”
Fantastic thanks
Most welcome
Would love to have one but not legal in Canada.
Really? Not legal?? Why I wonder...
Apple air tag best of the lot
Not in my experience - see the previous comments on that one for a fuller reply
Doh, missed the discount by a day! Do you happen to have a new code Andy?
Sadly not - sorry! (Worth trying this one though in case!!)
@@TheMissendenFlyer I did try but no cigar

I bought the original version on your recommendation 4 or 5 years ago and I still have it on one of my bikes. It’s been faultless and the battery lasted for 3 years before needing a change, I’ve since added the version 7 for my other bike and that’s a bit more compact and again works perfectly. Their support is really good as well as I found when I swapped my phone and messed up with the app, very helpful with a quick response. So, I would definitely recommend and in fact will be buying this version for a forthcoming new bike. Glad they’re supporting the channel! Good point on the key fob as well, I’ve just separated my fobs from the bike keys🤦♂️😂
Glad to hear you've got on so well with them - and yes I've found their backup/support very good too.....
