Boise Moto Community is Bigger Than Bikes

This isn't just a shop, it's a movement.

We're building confidence, community, and character, especially for those with no mentors, no resources, and no outlet for creativity or skill-building. We believe purpose and belonging start with learning how to build, fix, and grow, together.

The Mission

Boise Moto Community exists to empower riders, cultivate authentic relationships, and inspire purpose through hands-on motorcycle work, shared experiences, and community engagement.

Why It Matters

When our founder moved to Boise in 2011, there was no space to learn or work on bikes. No tools, no shop, no community. Just isolation and internet forums. Today, thousands of riders in Idaho still face the same thing, no place to go, no one to learn from, and no shared space to belong. Boise Moto Community is here to change that.

What We’re Building

Phase 1: DIY Motorcycle Garage

Fully equipped shared-use shop

Tool bays, lifts, and workspace

Tiered membership model (starting at $10/month for newsletter and free coffee to $100/month full access)

Volunteer mechanics offering guidance

Community-focused workshops and repair classes

Phase 2: Full Cafe

Public-facing coffeehouse open to all

Barista-staffed cafe with curated vibe

Community events, meetups, and shared culture

Revenue stream to support the nonprofit

The Reality

Over 70,000 motorcycles registered in Idaho

Boise ranks #4 nationwide in motorcycle ownership per capita

Rising cost of professional repair services

No co-ops or DIY spaces currently exist in Idaho or surrounding states

High demand for accessible trades, mentorship, and real connection

Our Funding Goal: $100,000

We are raising startup funds to launch Phase 1. Your donation will help us:

Secure and outfit a building

Purchase tools and equipment

Launch member programming and volunteer structure

Establish insurance and legal infrastructure

Begin soft-opening classes and pilot access

All donations are tax-deductible under our 501(c)(3) status
