Vehicle-aware routes
Scooter, moped, motorcycle and bike profiles, each with rules that respect the vehicle.
Navigation for scooters, mopeds & motorcycles
Your city.
Your ride.
Your rules.
Smart routing built around your vehicle. Custom speed caps, road type and surface filters, down to cobbles and gravel.
A 45 km/h moped is banned from motorways and Kraftfahrstraßen. The route avoids both by default.

01 / Smart routing
The shortest route is rarely the right route.
Same trip, different vehicle
Choose the vehicle. The map adapts.
One origin, one destination. A car app takes the motorway. Your moped is not allowed on it, so the route goes another way and the arrival time tells you the truth.

02 / Built for two wheels
Made the way a rider would have made it.
Every detail is here for a reason: to make a route easier to trust, simpler to follow and better suited to the way you actually ride.
Live traffic and closures
Every route is built around real-time traffic and road closures, so you skirt jams and blocked streets instead of riding into them.
Accurate ETAs
Times modelled on real two-wheel speeds, not the average car on the same road.
Voice cues
Concise, well-timed directions, never a wall of words at a junction.
Speed camera warnings
A heads-up before fixed speed cameras along your route, worldwide.
Live route weather
Temperature, conditions and wind, right beside your ETA. No second app.
Multi-stop routes
Chain several stops into one ride instead of restarting navigation each time.
Find your parked ride
Save where you left it, then walk straight back to it afterwards.
Privacy-first
No account needed to start. Route history stays on your device. No data sold.
City to country
The same calm route logic across dense centres, suburbs and open roads.
03 / Your ride, your rules
Every rider is different. Your app should be too.
A 25 km/h scooter in Amsterdam and a 125cc commuter in Berlin are not the same ride. Set the vehicle, choose what to avoid, then tune how it behaves.
New · Beta
Now: a profile for microcars.
A 45 km/h light quadricycle like a Citroen Ami, Fiat Topolino or Opel Rocks-e is not a car, and not a moped either. The new microcar profile keeps it off motorways, expressways and cycle paths, and times the trip at the real 45 km/h speed you travel.
It is a new profile, still in beta, so double-check local signs as you ride.
Microcar navigation →04 / Now on Android
The whole app. Native on Android.
Not a web wrapper. A true native Android app with every profile and preference rebuilt to feel at home: choose your vehicle, set the speed cap, avoid the roads you do not want.

Everything riders ask first.

What is Urban Rider?
A navigation app built for scooters, mopeds, motorcycles and bikes. You pick the vehicle, and the route respects what that vehicle may legally and safely ride.
Why does it avoid motorways and tunnels?
Because a 25 or 45 km/h vehicle is banned from them in most of Europe. A car app does not know that, so it routes you onto roads you are not allowed on.
Does it work for motorcycles?
Yes. Pick the motorcycle profile and the faster roads come back, with controls to fine-tune from there.
What about microcars like the Citroen Ami or Microlino?
Yes, and there is now a dedicated microcar profile for them, in beta. A 45 km/h light quadricycle such as a Citroen Ami, Fiat Topolino or Opel Rocks-e is kept off motorways, expressways and cycle paths, with arrival times at the real 45 km/h speed. A quicker 80 to 90 km/h quadricycle like a full-speed Microlino or Silence S04 fits the motorcycle profile instead. Full detail on the microcar page.
Can I plan more than one stop?
Yes. Chain several stops into a single ride rather than restarting navigation at each one.
Does it warn about speed cameras?
Yes, for fixed speed cameras along your route, worldwide. It is one of the ride-behaviour settings.
What does it cost?
Free to download, and no account is needed to plan your first ride. On iOS you start with a 7-day trial of the full app. On Android you get a few free rides to try it out. After that the free tier keeps you riding, and Premium unlocks unlimited routing and the ride-tuning settings, monthly, yearly or lifetime. Current prices for your country are shown in the App Store and on Google Play. One speeding ticket costs more than a year of it.
09 / Worth paying for
One ticket costs more than a year of Urban Rider.
The two things a car app gets wrong for you are also the two that cost money.
€95
Smallest speeding fine for a scooter inside a built-up area, Netherlands 2026
€115
From, for 21 km/h over inside a built-up area, Germany 2026, plus a point
Urban Rider warns you before fixed speed cameras along the route, worldwide, and plans around the roads your vehicle is not allowed on in the first place. A whole year of Premium costs less than a quarter of either fine.
10 / A note from the maker
Two wheels deserve better navigation.
Urban Rider started as a personal frustration. I ride a moped in Berlin, and every map app kept routing me onto roads I am not allowed on, with arrival times only a car could ever hit. Fighting the settings before every trip is not navigation.
So I built the app I wanted: one that asks what you ride before it decides where you go. Pick the vehicle, and the route respects what that vehicle may legally and safely use, with a time that reflects the speed you actually travel.
It is still one rider writing it. That means every message to support@urbanrider.app reaches me directly, and the good suggestions end up in the app rather than in a queue.
