Motorcycle events in Ukraine

Upcoming motorcycle events in one place

A major motorcycle festival, a local rally, a charity ride, morning coffee in a parking lot, or a group ride — motorcycle events come in many forms. BRAP puts them in the same place where riders already are.

Event posters are usually scattered across Instagram posts, Stories, club chats, and forums. If someone forwards one to you, great. If not, an event can pass you by even when it is happening only a hundred kilometers away.

Instead of waiting for someone to drop a poster into a chat, open Events in BRAP and see what is coming up.

The event list has two tabs: “All” for everything added by the community, and “My” for events you have already joined. Public events also appear on the map and among upcoming items in the feed.

Motorcycle season opening and closing events

Spring season openings and autumn closing events are some of the most noticeable dates in the motorcycle community calendar. Every region has its own traditions: in one city it may be a large ride through town, in another a meetup at a fuel station followed by a ride outside the city.

Looking for this year’s season opening or the next closing event? Check the motorcycle calendar in BRAP.

Organizing one yourself? Add the event in advance. Riders can see the date and meeting point and tap “Going”, while you can see how many people plan to attend.

Not every event has to be a big festival

A motorcycle season is not made only of events announced six months in advance. More often it is coffee at 9 AM, an evening ride to the waterfront, a club meetup on Saturday, or a ride to the next city.

An event does not need a thousand attendees. Sometimes “Coffee at 9:00 — who’s in?” is enough.

Creating that kind of event takes about a minute: add a name, time, and map point. BRAP does not organize the meetup or bring people there — riders do that themselves. The app simply gives the event a place where interested riders can find it.

Create your own motorcycle event

Cannot find the event you need? Create your own.

1. 1. Create an event

   In the Events tab, tap “+”.

2. 2. Add a name and description

   Program, what to bring, route details — anything participants should know.

3. 3. Set the date and time

   Choose one start date and the exact meeting time.

4. 4. Mark the meeting point

   Drop a point on the map or search by address. You can also add a destination.

5. 5. Add a poster

   Choose an image from your gallery — it becomes the cover of the event card.

6. 6. Choose who can see it

   “Everyone” or “Friends only”. You can also choose whether to add yourself as a participant.

7. 7. Publish

   The event appears in the list, on the map, and in the feed. You can edit, finish, or delete it later.

After publishing, riders can tap “Going”, you can see the participant list with nicknames and avatars, and the event has its own chat so questions about time, place, and the route do not get scattered across private messages. You can share the event link anywhere, and it can open in a browser even for someone who has not installed BRAP yet.

Plans change, so you can edit the event, mark it as finished after it happens, or delete it.

Add an event that already exists

Know about a festival, rally, or season opening that is missing from BRAP? Add it to the calendar so other riders can find it.

There is no separate “organizer” field: your profile will appear as the person who posted the event. That does not make you the official organizer, so clearly state who is running the event in the description and include a link to the original source. Do not publish someone else’s posters or copy without permission — BRAP administrators may remove the event.

If you are the organizer, even better: the event appears where riders are already looking, and you can answer participant questions in the event chat.

A motorcycle calendar built by the community

A major festival has advertising. A meetup of twenty riders in a small town may have nothing more than a message in a local chat. BRAP gives those smaller events another place where motorcyclists can discover them.

From major events to local meetups across Ukraine. There is no guaranteed audience: how many people see an event depends on how many nearby riders use the app. But an event that is never published cannot gather anyone; one that is published at least has a chance.

The motorcycle community builds the calendar itself: events are added by riders, motorcycle groups, and motorcycle clubs. To see which riders are currently nearby, use Riders nearby.

An event or your own ride?

An event is a meetup with a date, location, and participant list: a festival, rally, or gathering. Depending on its visibility, all users or only your friends can see it and join.

Planning your own ride rather than an event? Use the ride planner. It does not create an event in the calendar; it simply shows that you are heading out at a certain time today and can notify friends or groups. Want to talk about an event in your own words and photos? Write a post.
