Switching between motor profile and car mode
Now the motorcycle mode is available, multiple cyclists report the need of quick switching between motor and car mode to avoid driving in the wrong mode. Suggestion: once the motor mode has been active, startup the client with a message "What will you be driving this trip?" Defaulting to the last mode used and giving alternatives "Motor, Car" and checkbox (forget I'm a motorbiker)

Thank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already has Motorcycle Mode included in the app. To change your vehicle type, tap Settings > Car Details > Vehicle type.

Switching between the two is very unfriendly and time consuming. Requires 3-4 clicks. For drivers who often switch vehicle types there should be an accessible switch

along these same lines, it would be great if you could change multiple settings (ex. vehicle type, road type preferences, avoid tolls, etc.) with one "quick" click. i use waze in multiple vehicles (car, motorcycle, jeep) and currently need to click into multiple settings menus to adjust the riding style for each. example, for car driving i opt to avoid dirt roads, while for motorcycle i do not). some sort of "one-click-changes-all" profile option would be a real time-saver.

Waze already does this. When you bring up Waze, tap your vehicle on the map, tap the popup bubble, tap the vehicle type it's already set to (in my case that would be Private Vehicle). You can now change your vehicle type, when you do so it asks if it's always or just this one time. You can also change Avoid Tolls (Yes/No) and Preferred Gas Type.
