What moved us in January

January is not quite easy from a weather perspective for a motorcycle app in SwitzerlandFor this reason, we have decided to invest the time fully and completely in the preparations for the new season. And quite a lot has been accomplished. A highlight was the conception and implementation of the "Challenges"This feature is currently in the testing phase. A challenge is a predefined task that various participants should complete as well as possible. For example, tracking as many kilometers as possibleIn the future, we plan to also designate specific locations as targets for these challengesYou can learn more about thishereexperienced.

Furthermore, we have expanded the user profile with a "garage" that allows members to showcase their motorcycles to the communityYou can do this by clicking on the "Garage" tab on your profile and then on "Add motorcycle".

To further accelerate and strengthen the development of our community, we have created the foundation for our first position at The Tours. The new position holder will particularly support us in marketing and community interaction..https://join.com/companies/thetours/10467724If you know someone, feel free to share the job posting.

Outlook:

Our goal for February is to find the ideal candidate for the advertised position in order to be perfectly prepared for the start of the season. Additionally, we plan to officially introduce the "Challenges" and start with the first "The Tours Summer Challenge"Participating in "The Tours Summer Challenge" is worth it – there are great prizes to be wonMore information will follow soon.
