Welcome to EZ Rider

EZ Rider is an easy-to-use motorcycle listing component for the Mambo/Joomla content management systems. Also, just because something is easy to use doesn't mean you have to settle for little in the way of features or a low-quality presentation that requires hours of custom modifications. EZ Rider was designed with presentation in mind - to make your sales listings look great! It also doesn't matter what sort of site you want to run - EZ Rider has the flexibility to run a site for your own listings, multi-dealer listings, a community sales portal offering free and/or paid listings, or a club site for the display of restoration projects or whatever - EZ Rider is PayPal/Setcom enabled to do it all!

For example - to run a sales portal - start your site off in "free listings mode" to establish a membership base of listings with quality information, progress on to the "combined mode of operation" where you offer free listings with the option to pay for upgrades - and suddenly you've got a money-making site. As the success of your site grows - you can then progress onto a "paid listings only" basis if you want - and now you've got the opportunity for some serious income.

EZ Rider can be used by:-

  • A single dealer wanting to list his/her own motorcycle listings
  • Multiple dealers employed by a single business to list their individual listing responsibilities
  • Multi-dealer co-operatives wanting to list on a shared site
  • Online entrepreneurs wanting to run a FSBO motorcycle sales portal
  • Backyard restoration devotees wanting to display their own motorcycles for sale etc
  • Motorcycle rental businesses wanting a way to showcase their stock or scenic rides
  • Club sites wanting a way to allow members to showcase restoration projects

EZ Rider can also be used to list other items such as boats and more. You're only limited by your imagination and willingness to edit the language file to your needs!!

 

EZ Rider Features

Quick Install

It takes a minute to install EZ Rider on your web server - and another couple to install the multitude of modules available. Yes, it's that quick to get things installed.

Multiple Business Models

EZ Rider is designed to meet the needs of multiple business models - from the single dealer business listing motorcycles for sale, multi-dealer businesses, and community sales portals offering FSBO listing services, club sites and more. Simply configure it to meet the needs of your business model.

Profiling System

EZ Rider allows your sellers to promote their business, and share their contact details. Supports multiple contact methods, including direct contact, snail mail, email, telephone, SMS via Clickatell, and 3 online messaging systems. Introduced recently were profile privileges - enabling your members to manage more aspects of their listings such as publish/unpublish, skip the paid listings process, reset the expiry date and more. Profiling privileges are an excellent way to keep employees out of the backend - yet allow them certain privileges normally only accessible via the admin area.

PayPal and Setcom enabled

Turn your EZ Rider-powered site into a money-maker with the paid listings functionality. Two sales levels allow you to charge for upgrades from free listings to "premium" and "featured" listings - or run in paid listings only mode. EZ Rider currently has 2 payment processors to enable the automatic upgrades of paid listings - PayPal and Setcom - which should meet the needs of a wide variety of customers.

Expiry Management System

Limit your listings based on page impressions or time - eg. 30 day listings. Easy to use "clean listings" function to remove expired listings, and email notification for expired listings.

SEO

EZ Rider comes with support for SEF Advance, and also works on the core Mambo/Joomla SEF system - so you've got two SEF-friendly URL choices for your motorcycle listings. Also, add a meta description and meta keywords to your description, and the meta title is generated from existing data. Our SEF Partner Denis Dulici also offers a range of SEO products - so you're sure to find something to meet your SEF needs.

Easy Layouts

Front-end templating system makes changing the layout of data on listing pages and the full details page easy. Three different layouts are currently available for the listings pages, and 6 different layouts are available for the full details page along with 6 different image layouts - producing a mix-n-match combination of 36 possible full details page layouts to choose from. Layouts include tabbed pages, javascript image rollovers, slimbox/lightbox image system slideshows, and javascript slideshows.

Configurable opening page

Choose the opening page style that suits your needs. EZ Rider provides a choice of entry pages - the standard category layout, make/model layout, main search filter layout or full stocklist layout. It's easily configured via the EZ Rider admin configuration area.

Multiple currency support

Professional Image Presentation

In an industry where looks is everything, EZ Rider gives you a top-quality image display system. Templates come with Javascript rollover images, and some have the slimbox image system available. List up to 24 images with image descriptions - they're uploaded, thumbnailed and resized during the save process.  Image watermarking is also available - to give your sold and featured listings a distinctive look.

VIP Buyer's Register

Don't miss sales opportunities just because you don't have a listing people want. The VIP Buyer's Register allows you to collect details of purchaser requirements. Send emails of listings matching requirements via the VIP email notifications. Emails sent to people on the VIP Buyer's Register contain a summary of key motorcycle information, an image and the seller details - as well as a link to the listing and an unsubscribe link.
