THE STORY BEHIND
MOTOSTAQ

MotoStaq started with a lowering kit I couldn't find.

THE BIKE THAT STARTED IT ALLAprilia RS 660

I was looking for a lowering kit for my Aprilia RS 660. Simple enough, right? Except it wasn't. I searched every marketplace, every forum, every parts site I could find. Facebook groups, eBay, Reddit — nothing. Nobody in the States had what I needed.

I finally found one. In the UK. Weeks of searching, international shipping, and the whole time I wasn't even sure it was compatible with my specific year and model. I was guessing. Hoping. Rolling the dice on a part from across the ocean because there was literally nowhere else to look.

Then came the install. I needed a guide — torque specs, tools required, what to watch out for. I searched everywhere. YouTube had a few random videos for different bikes. Forums had scattered threads with conflicting info. There was no single place that could tell me: here's exactly what you need, here's how to install it, and here's what fits your bike.

That was the moment. Not some grand business plan. Not a pitch deck. Just a frustrated rider in his garage thinking: why doesn't this exist?

A marketplace where you search by Year, Make, and Model — and it actually shows you what fits. Where another rider who upgraded their suspension can sell the stock parts to someone who needs them. Where AI can look at a photo of a random part and tell you exactly what it is. Where you can pull up an install guide before you start wrenching so you know what tools to grab and what torque to set.

Nobody was building it. So I did.

Built From Scratch

My name's Kevinn. I'm not a software engineer. I don't have a CS degree. I'm a rider who taught himself how to build this because the alternative was waiting for someone else to do it — and nobody was going to.

MotoStaq isn't backed by venture capital. There's no board of directors, no team of 50 engineers, no investors telling me to raise the commission to 15%. It's me — building every page, writing every line, making every decision based on what riders actually need. Not what makes a spreadsheet look good.

Why It's Different

Every feature on MotoStaq comes from a real problem I ran into:

• Year/Make/Model search — because I wasted weeks not knowing if a part would fit my RS 660. Never again.
• AI Part Identifier — snap a photo, know exactly what it is. Built this because I've stared at unlabeled parts at swap meets with zero clue.
• AI Install Guides — torque specs, tools, step-by-step. The guide I wished I had before touching my suspension.
• Secure payment hold — no more PayPal Friends & Family. Your money is held until the part arrives. Period.
• Low fees, free to list — eBay takes 13%+. That's robbery. Riders shouldn't have to eat that.

What's Coming

This is day one. The roadmap includes seller verification, in-app messaging, a review system, a mobile app, and a lot more. Building it right — not fast. Every feature gets the same treatment: does it actually help riders? If not, it doesn't ship.

If you're a rider and you've ever been frustrated buying or selling parts online — I built this for us. The door is open. Come be part of it.
