Spec·d is a mobile app that supports motorcyclists document and manage motorcycle maintenance through task based guidance, evidence logging through camera verification, and connect with the community for shared knowledge on maintenance.

Ireland is one of the only countries in Europe where motorcycles are not subject to mandatory roadworthiness testing. Across the EU and the UK, riders are legally required to have their bikes inspected every one to two years. Irish motorcyclists face no such obligation, and the gap in maintenance quality shows it. There are no statistics on Irish motorbikes roadworthiness whilst the rest of the EU has an average of 85% – 95% roadworthiness.

Spec·d is encouraging users to take ownership of routine upkeep as the app helps them reduce unnecessary mechanic visits and catch problems before they become costly ones.
