MotorBytes is looking for experienced writers with genuine expertise in drones, motorcycles, electric vehicles, or consumer tech. We’re not looking for generalists — we want people who actually ride, fly, or work in the industries we cover.
What We’re Looking For
- Drone pilots and aerial photographers who can write about FPV, commercial UAV, regulations, or gear with firsthand experience.
- Motorcyclists who can cover riding tech, gear, touring, or the culture around two wheels from a personal perspective.
- EV enthusiasts or engineers with deep knowledge of electric motorcycles and e-bikes, charging infrastructure, or battery technology.
- Tech writers who cover gadgets, cameras, or electronics specifically for the rider/pilot market.
Our Editorial Standards
- First-person experience preferred — “I tested this for three weeks” beats “according to the manufacturer”
- Specific details and real numbers, not vague superlatives
- Honest assessments, including criticisms when warranted
- No undisclosed affiliate relationships or brand deals
- Original work only — not published elsewhere
What We Offer
- Payment per accepted article (rates discussed on pitch acceptance)
- Byline and bio on all published pieces
- Editorial feedback that will improve your writing
- Exposure to 80,000+ monthly readers who genuinely care about the subject matter
How to Pitch
Send a short pitch (3–5 sentences) explaining your article idea, why you’re qualified to write it, and 2–3 links to relevant previous work. No full drafts please — we’ll ask for those after we’ve agreed on a direction.
Email pitches to: pitches@motorbytes.com
Typical turnaround on pitches is 5–7 business days. If you haven’t heard from us after two weeks, feel free to send a follow-up.
