Zooming Forward

• 500-backed iMotorbike is expanding their trusted platform for used motorcycle sales to more riders across Southeast Asia, starting with Vietnam and  the southern Malaysian state of Johor. 
• “The company has set up local teams and is working with regional partners to align with domestic regulations and consumer habits,” Co-founder & CEO Gil Carmo shared. “While the platform’s core model, certified listings, seller verification, secure payments, remains unchanged, iMotorbike customizes its approach to fit each market’s operational and legal landscape.”
• Buyers can view detailed reports of rigorous 170-point inspections online, and pricing is determined using real-time market data and past sales, removing guesswork and inflated seller markups from the equation.
• To give buyers greater confidence, iMotorbike offers a six-day return policy and a six-month warranty on all certified bikes — a rare level of protection in the secondhand vehicle market — and even accessible financing options.
• “People do not just want a bike, they want assurance that it is safe, fairly priced, and would not give them problems a week later. We created iMotorbike to fill that trust gap,” Gil added.
