Best Standalone Vehicle Tracker? - Monimoto 9 Review

[@bbumble4117]

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.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

My pleasure.

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🤷🏻‍♂️

[@cyrezthelooney256]

My motorbike was stolen 2 days ago, I went looking for it when I noticed it was gone and local CCTV shows I missed them by aprx 2 minutes. Will be getting this on my next bike for faster notifications and ongoing tracking in the hopes to recover the bike if anyone attempts to steal it again. Appreciate the video!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Sorry to hear that…..

[@TheHitDat]

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…….

[@MarkATaylor]

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🤦‍♂️😂

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes it is isn’t it!

[@ScragNath]

Bought the very first version around 6 years ago, brilliant. Just got the new Version 9.

[@garylewis3780]

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.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Fair enough......

[@rabnath]

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 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.

I m also have the first gen of the Moni-Moto for 3 years thanks to you! Nice best device ever, but 2 days ago he gone wild, alarm itself for any reason, made me going like crazy to all the city (i was with the car) trough rush hour traffic, called the police as well and when i get home, the police also arrived and ... the bike was there as well. The device actives itself when you take the bike from the kickstand, but it takes 1 min to receive the call. No need to move it around. I think in my case i need a new one 🙂

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

How strange - I’m impressed however the police turned up!

[@EVil-ob8in]

Interested in your closing comments on why upgrade. I have the original MM2 that I know you had also. I cannot see a strong reason to upgrade as you can use your own sim card in the MM2. I bought a PAYG sim, put £10 on it 4 or 5 years ago and still have £7 in credit today!!! As long as I make a call (activate the tracker) once every 6 months, the sim remains active. i would want to test that its working every couple of months so thats no problem. I'll stick with the MM2 until it stops working, CR123A batteries are inexpensive and last a year. Seems to me like there's more in it for Monimoto on later versions than there is for consumers.

Yes Insurance is such a scam isn't it - I don't tell them I have a tracker (unless they insist on it which they do on some bikes) - they never reduce your premiums and as you say then then just insist you ALWAYS use it......

Very nice installation and review. Unfortunately my experience is some police aren't terribly helpful on recovery in some places (Denver, Colorado) these days. When my last two motorcycles were stolen I could have given the police the names, address, and picture of the thieves and they wouldn't even take the information. That is pretty sad so it is a little hard to get excited even if the product is a good one.

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 😂

[@brianperry]

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.

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.

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....

[@thecommentator6694]

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.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

It comes from the same number so you can save it and call it Monimoto or Bike Alarm

[@tazsub]

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 ?

Looks pretty good, I currently use Alltrac on my bike which I think is about £100 per year renewal, however the call you get is from a human and if it goes while in the UK they will liaise with the police and guide them to it live. In europe they will give the location but not communicate with the police as a live service. That said, I have another bike joining the stable soon, Shhhh the missus doesn’t know yet, and this may be a good option to protect it, especially as it uses no battery connection 🤔

Yes I use all track on one of my vehicles, I had to as it came preinstalled with it, although it is a good system it cost me I think £120 a year and it means I have to have the vehicle constantly plugged into a battery charger has left alone.

Fortunately I managed to scare them away, but, where it not for monimoto alerting me, my bike would have joined the statistics of the insane amount of bike theft in Ireland

Thanks for sharing!

Check the link below!

[@Taffy-Crisp]

Doh, missed the discount by a day! Do you happen to have a new code Andy?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Sadly not - sorry! (Worth trying this one though in case!!)

[@Taffy-Crisp]

@@TheMissendenFlyer I did try but no cigar

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

@@Taffy-Crisp Shame.....

[@twist_of_the_wrist]

It's currently £149.99 but with your generous discount code it's £134.10. Just order one, although it's on back order till mid May.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

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!

[@specialcircs]

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.

[@YorkshireTiger.-nu8ii]

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.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Great t hear that - I have to say I have found them very responsive....

[@ticthedog6095]

👍 Z900RS looks the business.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thank you….

[@thebrowns5337]

Saw one on the motorway today - they really do look awesome.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

@@thebrowns5337 Yes it is a cool bike for sure....mine is growing on me!

[@mikedignum1868]

Yep.., I got an earlier version with the round key fob on my RS1250

[@ianmcdiarmid4563]

Your litter bin's very similar to my suspended carrier bag bin

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Good to know!

[@xfactor5876]

Very impressive piece of equipment. I cant believe it could detect that little bit of movement.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

You and me both!

[@AxeMan2781]

I received mine in the post a couple of days ago !

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Cool!

[@Dead_Assassin]

Hey!! I was talking to a guy rides a 2016 GS at Pugh's garden in rogerstone..he said he watches this channel he's met you few times also he did the channels music for you...

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

That'll be Jez - lovely fella!

[@JustTheHighlights]

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.

[@alanbarnes2920]

How much does the datatool tracker cost to purchase/maintain service?

[@kenbowlus2995]

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.

[@Gambo916]

@JustTheHighlights - I thought 'wife' too!!! Make a great tool to catch out cheating spouses!!

[@simongreen8015]

Used to use Mono but moved over to apple tag, as have multiple bikes. 🏍️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

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…

[@ukvamp]

Also apple tag will alert the thief to It's presence if they have an iphone

[@robindown]

Thanks Andy - re-charging of the tracker is a useful update. I think, like me, you had/have an earlier version - I assume the app will support different versions concurrently if I buy another for a 2nd bike?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I don’t know but a quick email to them will get the answer!

[@ajherd77]

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.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

No idea - sorry!
