Built for two wheels
A device that protects, tracks and alerts
On a moto-taxi there's no room for a bulky tracker, but you still need every protection a professional vehicle demands. Compagnon Mini is calibrated for this trade-off: 13 critical functions in 50 grams.
Anti-theft
Smart anti-theft
Motion + unauthorized ignition detection. Owner and server alerted within a second. SMS/push notification if the bike moves without a valid key.
- Automatic parking mode
- Parking geofence (zone-exit alert)
- Continuous tracking if theft is in progress
Safety
Crash detection
6-axis MPU6050 with Kalman filtering. If a critical acceleration threshold is hit (fall, impact), an emergency alert is automatically sent to the Malambi Taxi control center.
- GPS position of the impact
- Optional 117 / emergency-contacts notification
- No button to press after the crash
Score
Server-scored driving
The device sends events (speeding, hard braking, aggressive cornering) to the Malambi server, which computes a driver score — usable for Taximan rankings or bonuses.
- 3 event types detected
- 30-day history on the platform
- Buzzer notifier + server alarms
Mesh
ESP-NOW between bikes
Multiple bikes from the same fleet can communicate as a mesh (2.4 GHz radio) without relying on 4G. Useful for convoys or zones without coverage.
- Locate fellow riders nearby
- Propagated alerts (radar, accident)
- 4G relay: one bike without signal goes through another
Storage
Offline buffer
If the device loses 4G in a rural area, GPS positions are stored locally (SQLite WAL with recovery) and automatically resynced when the network returns.
- No ride is lost
- Automatic resume, no intervention needed
- Recovery survives power outages
BOM
$8 to $12 BOM
Designed in Douala for the African market — not a rebadged OEM. Aggressively optimized BOM lets you equip whole moto-taxi fleets without breaking the unit economics.
- ESP32-C3 RISC-V (low cost)
- Volume discount above 50 units
- 5-min installation under the seat
