Vmoto (ASX: VMT) Signs Worldwide MotoGP Deal to Launch Three Electric Scooter Models Through 2030 — Brand Partnership With 632M Global Fanbase Amid Three Years of Declining Sales
Three consecutive years of falling unit sales — and now a brand deal with the world's oldest motorsports championship. Vmoto has signed a worldwide agreement with MotoGP Sport Entertainment Group (84% owned by Liberty Media's Formula One Group) to produce and distribute three models of MotoGP edition electric scooters through its existing international distributor network until 31 December 2030. Vmoto will be designated "MotoGP Electric Scooter Supplier" with product placement at European MotoGP events and access to MGP Group footage. MotoGP claims a global fanbase of 632 million (over 50% under 35) and 3.6 million trackside attendees in 2025. No financial terms — licensing fees, revenue sharing, minimum commitments — were disclosed. The stock moved +40% to $0.140 on 4 May 2026 after spiking to a 52-week high of $0.165 and reversing 15%.
The Agreement — What Vmoto Gets and What It Costs (Unknown)
| What's Disclosed | What's Not |
|---|---|
| Three MotoGP edition electric scooter models | Licensing fees payable to MGP Group |
| "MotoGP Electric Scooter Supplier" title | Revenue-sharing arrangements |
| Product placement at MotoGP European events | Minimum order or sales commitments |
| Fast charging/battery swap stations at MGP locations | Cost to produce and market MotoGP editions |
| Access to MGP footage for promotional use | Exclusivity provisions |
| Distribution via Vmoto's existing 30+ distributor network | Pricing of the branded scooters |
| Term to 31 December 2030 (subject to renewal) | Financial impact on Vmoto's P&L |
The agreement is a brand licensing and promotional partnership — Vmoto produces the scooters, uses the MotoGP name, and gets promotional access. Whether this translates into incremental unit sales that reverse the three-year decline is the unanswered question.
The Sales Trend the MotoGP Deal Needs to Reverse
Vmoto's global unit sales have fallen for three consecutive years from a record in 2022 to 14,034 registrations in 2025 — a 13.8% year-on-year decline. Revenue was approximately A$57.2 million in 2025, with a net loss of A$7.0 million for the most recent half-year. The company manufactures in Nanjing (China), with distribution centres in the Netherlands and Italy, and operates under the Vmoto, Vmoto Fleet, and Super Soco brands across 29 countries.
The MotoGP brand may differentiate Vmoto's products in a competitive market that includes Niu Technologies, Segway-Ninebot, and numerous regional manufacturers — but brand licensing alone has not historically been a reliable predictor of unit sales recovery in the EV two-wheeler segment.
Risks & Considerations
The commercial success of MotoGP-branded scooters depends on pricing, distribution execution, and consumer demand — none of which can be assessed without the financial terms. The Liberty Media/Formula One cross-promotion is described as a possibility ("may also increase" brand exposure) rather than a confirmed component. Vmoto trades at approximately 0.6x trailing revenue — reflecting the market's scepticism about the sales trajectory, which the MotoGP deal must address.
The 15% intraday reversal from $0.165 to $0.140 indicates sellers absorbed the initial enthusiasm. The stock has meaningful overhead supply above $0.165 from the 2021–2022 EV boom (when VMT traded above $0.30), meaning longer-term holders may use any continuation as an exit.

Price Data
- Previous Close: $0.100
- Close Price (4 May 2026): $0.140
- Change (4 May 2026): +40.0%
- 52-Week Range: $0.058 – $0.165
Notable Price Levels
-
$0.165 — 52-week high set and rejected 15% intraday on announcement day. Meaningful overhead supply exists above this level from VMT's 2021–2022 trading above $0.30. The stock approached but could not hold new highs — sellers used the spike as a liquidity event.
-
$0.140 — announcement-day close in the lower half of the session range. At this level, Vmoto trades at approximately 0.6x trailing A$57M revenue — a valuation that reflects three years of declining sales and half-year losses of A$7M.
-
$0.100 — undisturbed close and psychological round number. A retracement here would fully unwind the MotoGP premium. The stock had consolidated at $0.095–$0.105 pre-announcement.
-
$0.058 — 52-week low (~A$17M market cap against A$57M revenue). A return here would reverse the entire 2026 recovery and the MotoGP catalyst.
