THE MOTONODEIQ SYSTEM
Control, insight, and protection—working together.
MotoNodeIQ brings the dashboard, handlebar controls, configurable inputs and outputs, ride data, and system health into one connected motorcycle platform.
FRONT CONTROL
One dash controller
Connect handlebar controls through the front module, then configure how supported inputs and outputs behave.
CONNECTED EXPERIENCE
One view of the motorcycle
Bring configurable controls, ride information, and system status into one clear rider experience.
IGNITION
Engine-aware timing control
Set up supported ignition timing maps alongside the rest of your motorcycle’s configurable controls.
INTERACTIVE SYSTEM EXPLORER
Take it apart. See the NodeIQ architecture.
Follow the 15-step motorcycle teardown, isolate the stock harness, place the Central Hub and modules, then inspect the wireless nodes and radar. Switch between side, top, front, and rear views.
Opens in a new tab. Conceptual placement study; fit and routing require motorcycle-specific validation.
BUILT FOR AN EASIER INSTALL
Reduce the harness work. Keep setup clear.
The front module is designed as a dash controller and connection point for the motorcycle’s handlebar controls. Mount it with the included hardware, prepare the wire ends with a pair of wire strippers, connect the controls, and configure the input and output functions.
Connect
Bring handlebar control wires to one clearly organized interface.
Configure
Assign supported input and output functions to match the motorcycle and rider preference.
Expand
Add more system capabilities without turning every new function into a separate wiring project.
RIDE DATA
Connect the route to what the bike was doing.
View the route alongside speed, lean, acceleration, braking, road vibration, and system status. MotoNodeIQ helps make those signals easier to understand in one place.
IGNITION CONTROL
Ignition settings made simple. Connected to your ride.
Configure supported ignition timing maps through one clear rider experience. Review ignition settings alongside your controls, ride information, and system status.
Identify
Recognize supported engine and trigger behavior and guide setup.
Configure
Review and adjust supported ignition timing maps through the connected system.
Monitor
Keep timing and system information alongside diagnostics and ride data.
SYSTEM PROTECTION
Built to spot trouble and respond clearly.
Monitor control signals and outputs, surface faults in the app, and apply configured protective responses. The rider sees the affected function and the system’s status instead of chasing an invisible wiring problem.
Universal retrofit ignition
How the retrofit works
MotoNode brings electronic ignition to older, custom and modified motorcycles. It reads the bike’s existing pickup, drives the original coils or works with the stock CDI, and moves timing control to a module you tune from your phone.
1. Points are the weak link
A cam pushes the points open to fire the coil. The rubbing block wears, the gap closes, and timing drifts away from where it was set. The advance curve is whatever the springs and bob-weights give you.
2. MotoNode drops into the signal path
The points and condenser come out. The bike’s own pickup (points, Hall or VR) reports crank position, MotoNode decides when to fire, and it drives up to four inductive coils directly or triggers the stock CDI. OEM sensors are read through protected high-impedance inputs, so the wiring change stays small on almost any engine.
3. Tune the curve from your phone
Over Bluetooth Low Energy, the app sets the advance curve and rev limit and checks pickup health. No screwdriver, no timing cover off.
4. Works with either ground polarity
Older bikes left the factory wired either positive-earth or negative-earth, and many have been rewired since. A bridge rectifier on the input gives the logic one fixed polarity, and an isolated gate drive switches the coil whichever way the frame is wired.
Where it stands
- ESP32 hub and phone app: prototype
- Dual-mode CDI/TCI ignition module schematic, BOM and layout: design / prototype
- Polarity isolation bench test: planned, next
- Advance-curve tuning over BLE: planned
- Running a bike on it: after validation gates pass
Nothing here is production hardware yet.
The MotoNodeIQ system will be available soon.
