Travel isn't accessible and safe for all but we can fix that
Solving the need for specialized transportation
America's vast transportation markets are lacking specialized companies for niche consumer segments with unique transportation needs and requirements.
To solve this, Moto Nation provides ground transportation solutions, including child car seats, infant seats, hospital transportation, airport transportation, cruise port transportation, and more.
Product
Mobility apps that help transport underserved communities in America
Moto Nation created mobility apps for consumers to place reservations in 52 major cities across America. A transport vehicle arrives at their home, hospital, hotel, airport, or even the cruise port, all ready to provide specialty transportation.
How it works
Pre-installed infant seats | Pre-installed child car seats | Bus transportation for airlines and cruise lines |
New parents would need transportation for newborns at the hospitals. | Parents need to find an airport ride service because taxis and car services do not provide child car seats. | Airline staff need reliable nationwide transportation to and from hotels. Cruise line staff need nationwide transportation to and from hotels. |

Business model
Aggregator business model
Parent company Moto Nation Inc. and subsidiaries Kidmoto, Babymoto, and Busmoto make money as middlemen by operating a platform that connects riders, companies, and drivers. Moto earns revenue by charging a commission fee on each ride fare. This business model allows Moto to generate income without owning vehicles or directly employing drivers.
Moto operates a digital platform that leverages the company's national network and technology to transport people and goods from one point to another. Moto makes money by collecting fees from the platform's gross bookings. It provides child car seat ride-hailing services company Kidmoto. Its new apps, Busmoto, Babymoto, and Medimoto, will provide mobility, logistics, and transportation for niche and underserved segments of the transportation sector.

Leadership
Founded by Nelson Nigel, a former NYC yellow taxi driver
Nelson is a Guyanese entrepreneur who, at 5, emigrated with his family to Queens, New York. He has lived a life of triumph and trials; his most significant moment was getting hit by a moving express subway train at age 13. Nelson miraculously survived three weeks of coma after surgeons permanently removed the top part of his forehead. Having lost all memory before that day, he has only looked forward since, unapologetically living his life aloud (as seen in Nelson's eccentric color choices with his hair and attire).
In college, Nelson studied cultural anthropology and construction management and loved meeting the world as a NYC yellow taxicab and Uber driver. Nelson started Kidmoto in 2016 with a dream, $600 to his name, and a relentless passion to succeed. He worked hard to grow Kidmoto to 52 cities across the US. He started Moto Nation in 2023 as the leading brand behind new companies, Busmoto and Babymoto. Nelson is a natural-born hustler, survivor, and fighter who continues to innovate.
