Mottu, The New Motorcycle Startup, Challenges The Dominance Of Honda And Yamaha By Launching The Sport 110i, Quickly Conquering The Brazilian Market.
The Japanese brands Honda and Yamaha have dominated the motorcycle market in Brazil for several decades. However, the startup Mottu, founded in January 2020, has been rapidly standing out. Initially focused on renting motorcycles for delivery drivers, Mottu decided to expand its operations and now also dedicates itself to the direct sale of motorcycles. This strategy has yielded results, placing Mottu among the leading brands in the motorcycle sector.
The Arrival Of The Sport 110i
Recently, Mottu launched the Sport 110i, a model that was previously exclusive for rental.
Since its introduction, the Sport 110i has proven to be a popular choice among consumers and, in 2024, Mottu positioned itself as the fourth brand in motorcycle registrations in Brazil.

The motorcycle delivers 8.3 hp of power and 0.8 kgf.m of torque, along with an impressive fuel efficiency of 65 km/l, meaning that with a 10-liter tank, the range can reach up to 650 km.
The affordable price of R$ 13,000, plus shipping, also contributes to the model’s popularity in the motorcycle market.
The power is 8.1 horsepower at 7,350 rpm, with a 4-speed transmission and a top speed of 100 km/h.
Regarding braking, the motorcycle has 130 mm drum brakes in the front and 110 mm in the rear, with 17-inch wheels fitted with tubeless tires.

Mottu In The Automotive Industry
Mottu has established a partnership with the Indian manufacturer TVS, which has contributed to strengthening the brand in Brazil.
This collaboration allows Mottu to offer a motorcycle that meets the specific needs of the local market.
The lightweight design of the Sport 110i, weighing only 110 kg, makes the motorcycle agile and practical for urban use.
This agility is one of the factors that have driven sales and acceptance among consumers. With its new proposal, Mottu becomes a strong competitor to Honda and Yamaha in the motorcycle market.
