A system and method configured to monitor use conditions of a vehicle and provide feedback to a user of the vehicle to maintain use within certain parameters is described. The description includes a plurality of sensors located proximate to the vehicle, each sensor configured to monitor at least one vehicle parameter, the plurality of sensors selected from an accelerometer, speed, temperature, mileage, oil level, oil pressure, run-time and location sensors, each sensor generating a signal encapsulating the monitored vehicle parameter and transmitting the generated signal to a control unit. The description includes a control unit that receives the generated signal from each of a plurality of sensors, the control unit including a memory that stores the received signal and selectively combines the received signal with other signals received from others of the plurality of sensors. The description includes a first transmitter coupled to the control unit capable of transmitting the combined signal. The description includes a second transceiver remote from the vehicle that receives a transmitted condition, and compares that condition to received conditions from other vehicles and provides feedback to adjust the use of the vehicle based on the comparison, and a user interface for providing feedback to a user including at least one of visual indication, audible indication, and physically altering the use of the vehicle. The description includes coupling of the plurality of sensors to the control unit with a controller area bus (CAN). The first transmitter may transmit over an RF network.
