A new mobile app called Wheelbase has launched in the Philippines to help improve motorcycle safety using real-time technology. Developed by Colab Digital Solutions, the app focuses on emergency response, ride tracking, and rider coordination, addressing a long-standing issue: delayed help after motorcycle accidents. Launched in December 2025, Wheelbase centers on an Emergency Safety system that works with crash detection features already available on supported smartphones. Riders can also trigger alerts manually with a three-second press inside the app. Each alert includes the rider’s last known location, helping others respond faster. Riders can search for nearby motorcycle repair shops, parts stores, and accessory dealers using location-based features. A built-in marketplace lets riders buy and sell gear within the app, keeping transactions within a trusted community. In December last year, we were invited by Nissan's Intelligent Mobility event to showcase X-Trail's safety features.
