Trying to sell a new product or to provide a new service is no easy task. One of the biggest hindrances to this process is not having enough money. One way that entrepreneurs and inventors overcome this problem is by turning toward private funding. If a person cannot get a traditional loan from a bank or financial institution; they can always turn to a Kickstarter to get this process going. The following material will outline some really great kick starter programs involving motorcycle projects.
ROAME Zeros: Wireless Blinker/Brake Light Motorcycle Shoes
The goal for this project is $25,000.
The company ROAME Zeros has created a pair of motorcycle shoes that can be integrated into a motorcycle’s signaling system. ROAME Zeros wireless blinker/brake light motorcycle shoes can be wirelessly connected to a motorcycle’s signaling system so that a rider can safely brake and make turns during the night time hours.
To make this technology work a person will need to connect a specially made transmitter box to their motorcycle’s lighting system. Once the unit is connected it will send out a wireless signal that will operate the shoes. The transmitter box is approved by federal and state automotive regulators and will not interfere with or harm a bike’s components or engine.
The shoes are designed to reflect the type of signal light that a motorcycle displays when performing a breaking maneuver or when turning. The lights are located at the bottom of the shoe and they will turn yellow when a rider makes a turn or red when they have to brake. The shoes can even distinguish which side of the road that a driver will turn. So, when a driver makes a left turn, the left shoe will light up. The right shoe will light up for right turns. This way, drivers behind them are not being confused about the direction that a rider will turn into.
Another benefit of the wireless blinker/brake motorcycle shoes is the impact resistant materials that are put into the boots. A rider’s ankles and toes will be protected by heavy duty materials that are hard enough to stop abrasions and scuffs and they are more than strong enough to withstand impact forces that would injure any cyclist. The shoe is not only durable it is also stylish. There are two models one is black and the other is black and brown. The shoes resemble a high top sneaker or a pair of boots. They have been designed to be wearable with most other motorcycle gear and accessories.
The wireless motorcycle signaling/brake shoes are great pieces of equipment for riders because they should help to reduce motorcycle injuries and fatalities over the long run. The average rider can also use the benefit of having more visibility at night. Remember that motorcycle are smaller vehicles and their diminutive size makes it harder for motorist to see them when it is dark. These shoes will help to make it easier for people to see riders while they are out on the road.

Motorcycle Saddlebags and Tool Rolls
This project by Pack Animal does not have a target capital amount but it has raised over $100,000 to date.
Motorcycle saddlebags and tool rolls are motorcycle accessories that will make a rider’s life easier. Many motorcycle riders travel long distances and they live a nomadic lifestyle. Since they do, they usually have their personal belongings with them while they travel. However, it is hard to carry around a lot of gear and personal belongings on motorcycle. The fact is that these vehicles were not designed for this purpose.
A motorcycle saddlebag helps to eliminate this problem. These personalized bags can be used to store cosmetic and personal care items that people need to use for hygiene purposes. They also can store a small amount of clothing items and personal documents that are important for all individuals to have.
The tool bag is necessary for carrying small tools that are often needed for motorcycle maintenance. These tool bags are durable and rugged and can keep tools secure. The motorcycle saddlebags have been inspired from the cowboys who used saddlebags when horse riding was a common part of American life. That was a really long time ago.
The bags are stitched by hand which means that a lot of care goes into making them. They are also made out of the best natural materials such as leather. The bags are designed for the cyclist in mind and come in different colors and styles. They are the perfect accessories for a rider’s gear. The bags can easily be removed from the bike once a biker reaches their destination. They can be carried around like luggage or an overnight back. They even come with a handy shoulder strap that can be used for this purpose.
The bags can fit securely on a bike and they will not interfere with a rider’s performance. They can withstand harsh road conditions and stand up against the elements. Rain, snow, wind and hail will not rip or tear the bags or cause them to warp. The sun won’t crack the bag’s skin and a motorcycle’s heat will not burn or degrade the bag.
If you are a cyclist that is on the go then this bag is for you. It can be used for vacations and for long distance trips. The bags are stylish but more importantly they are rugged and practical. Motorcycle saddle bags will allow you to take the possessions that you will need whenever you ride out on your bike.
Women’s Motorcycle Jeans, Kevlar Lined
Investors have pledged $44,500 for this project though it has no targeted capital amount.
What makes women’s motorcycle jeans, Kevlar line a great product is that they are unique and original. These jeans are designed to protect female riders when they are out on the road. They are lightweight but extremely durable and they are very stylish. Enter Tobacco Moto Wear Company.
The maker of the Kevlar jeans for women understand that women riders are not that common. However, their delicate frame needs more protection in the event of a collision. Since motorcycles are not designed to protect people who get into collisions; a female rider has a greater chance of sustaining more injuries. To reduce this impact, a woman should be protected as much as possible.
Kevlar jeans are stitched with a Kevlar lining that is woven throughout the material. This will protect a woman against scrapes, burns and impact forces. This is a good idea and adds an extra layer of protection for women.
Women riders who like to look feminine will not have to worry about these jeans ruining their sexy looks. They can look sexy while wearing these jeans and they highlight a woman’s curves. So a female biker can step out looking stylish and sexy while she rides around town showing off her skills. You can definitely get behind this product because this is the perfect accessory for a woman’s protection while she rides on the open road.
Motobushido: The Motorcycle-Samurai Roleplaying Game
This upstart does not have a projected capital amount but investors have pledged nearly $11,500 to make it a viable product.
Motobushido: The Motorcycle-Samurai Roleplaying Game is a table top game that was created by Nathanael Cole. This is a board game that allows players to pretend to be cyclists battling against their foes in deadly world of motorcycles and death. The premise of the game deals with brotherhood, sacrifice and death.
Cole created this game as a means to showcase his love for motorcycle culture and fantasy role playing games. While he is not actively involved in the world of motorcycles he is a part of it. He wants people to be able to experience the fantasy part of the motorcycle world even though they will probably never experience it in real life.
The game allows players to become characters within the game and they can battle against forces that oppose them. They will also have to follow codes of the motorcycle universe and make sure that they are not doing things to disrupt the motorcycle rider’s way of life.
This role-playing game is being test marketed because the concept is appealing to the market. There is a large enough audience to support this game and it is expected to do well in the market. Cole has to perfect game play to ensure that it is not turning out to be another Dungeons and Dragons type of game. Though there is a lot of similarities.
You can benefit from supporting this game by helping Cole to create a role playing game that will appeal to people who normally do not play these titles. Motobushido can be a different game that could possibly open up a new world of gaming to many people.
The project has been in development for over a year and Cole is ensuring that it is getting off the ground. He has some serious backers who are willing to help get the project off the ground. People who get involved in this project will definitely help its success.
This game would make a great addition to tournaments and it could also be played at conventions. It could broaden the role-playing game market and create a new genre of role-playing titles. Cole is on to something big with Motobushido and investors could possibly find a new gold mine if the game is a success.
