Bottom line
- Total investment $74K – $317K including a $30K franchise fee, 10.0% ongoing royalty.
- No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
- Rated MODERATE with a risk score of 62/100. SBA loan default rate of 0.0% across 11 loans (below the industry average).
- System contracting at -15.8% CAGR over 3 years. Investigate whether closures are franchisor-driven (consolidation) or franchisee-driven (economics).

Overview
About
EagleRider franchisees operate motorcycle rental and retail locations, typically at or near tourist destinations. Day-to-day operations include managing bike inventory, conducting rentals/returns with damage inspections, executing retail merchandise sales (helmets, gear), handling customer service/insurance coordination, and performing basic maintenance. Revenue depends heavily on seasonal tourism fluctuations and local competition.

Risk & Legal
EagleRider presents HIGH RISK due to shrinking franchise network, missing financial performance data, unprotected territories, and unclear franchisor stability.
Score breakdown · what drove the 62 / 100 rating
- 01MEDUnit count declined 11.1% year-over-year (154 to ~137 units), indicating system contraction and potential saturation or performance issues
- 02MEDNo average revenue or net income disclosed in FDD Item 19, making ROI projections impossible and preventing informed investment decisions
- 03MINORUnprotected territory creates direct competition risk — multiple franchisees could operate in same area, cannibalizing rental revenue
- 04MINORComplex royalty structure (10% rentals + 5% retail OR $350/month minimum) may incentivize underreporting of gross revenue to avoid higher fees
- 05MINORWide investment range ($73.5K–$317K) suggests inconsistent startup costs and unclear capital requirements across locations
- 06MINORHigh royalty burden (10% of gross rentals) leaves thin margins in seasonal/tourism-dependent motorcycle rental business
- 07HIGHGoing Concern flag is FALSE — ambiguous wording raises questions about whether franchisor disclosed financial viability concerns
