At Yarbo, we cherish the stories of our incredible users who believe in innovation and embrace the future of autonomous outdoor care. Today, we’re excited to introduce Mike Motsis, a professional pilot from Ohio and one of our most dedicated supporters.
Discovering Yarbo: A Kickstarter Journey
Mike first discovered Yarbo through Kickstarter and was immediately drawn to its unique and revolutionary design. As someone who values efficiency and cutting-edge technology, he saw Yarbo as a game-changer in outdoor maintenance. Since then, he has remained a strong advocate, supporting the evolution of Yarbo through each phase of development.
Upgrading to Yarbo 2024: A Smoother Experience
When the PPP (Product Pioneer Program) application opened in 2024, Mike wasted no time submitting his application. He also participated in upgrading his 2023 model to the latest version, eager to experience the improvements firsthand.
Due to the demands of his career as a pilot, Mike doesn’t have much time to engage on social media, but he has found the Yarbo 2024 model to be significantly more stable than its predecessor. With an excellent home network setup, he has encountered very few major issues, and any minor challenges were quickly resolved through updates. His positive feedback reassures us that the continuous improvements we make are delivering real value to our users.
A Memorable Visit: Mazzy Steals the Show
During our visit with Mike, we were struck by his calm, polite, and cooperative nature. One unforgettable moment involved his pet dog, Mazzy, who brought unexpected humor to our photo shoot. A perfectly timed, spontaneous moment was captured on camera, reminding us that beyond product performance, it’s the personal connections that make this journey so special.
Looking Ahead: Live Events and Community Engagement
Mike’s enthusiasm for Yarbo doesn’t stop at being a satisfied user—he is eager to help promote the brand in his spare time. Whether through testing new features or sharing his experiences, he is always willing to support Yarbo, as long as it doesn’t interfere with his responsibilities as a pilot.
He also expressed excitement about reconnecting with us in the summer, suggesting hands-on outdoor experiences such as mowing and leaf blowing demonstrations. Even more exciting, he hopes to host a live event with us, creating an opportunity to showcase Yarbo in action and engage with more users. His encouragement fuels our motivation, reinforcing our confidence in the path we’re taking.
Strengthening the Yarbo Community
Our visit with Mike was not just about product testing—it was a reminder of the strength of the Yarbo user community. Supporters like him, who go beyond being consumers to actively contribute ideas and feedback, are a tremendous asset to our growth. His insights also got us thinking: How can we create more flexible participation opportunities for users with busy schedules? His suggestion of live events is an exciting avenue we’re eager to explore, potentially even empowering PPP users to host events themselves.
The Power of Connection
Beyond technology and performance, moments like these remind us of the importance of personal interactions and emotional connections. These warm and lighthearted experiences strengthen the bond between our users and the Yarbo brand while energizing our team with renewed confidence and motivation.
We look forward to meeting Mike again soon—along with many more PPP users—to continue building a future where innovation, community, and shared experiences make Yarbo more than just a product, but a true game-changer in outdoor care.
