Vehicle-aware routes
Scooter, moped, motorcycle, and bike profiles, each with rules that match the law and the limits of the vehicle.
Most navigation apps were trained on cars. They'll happily route you onto a highway your moped can't legally use, or down a high-speed trunk road where you have no business being. Urban Rider's scooter and moped profiles exclude those roads by default, and prefer well-paved, lower-speed alternatives wherever the map allows it.
For motorcycles, you stay in control. Allow highways, prefer scenic backroads, or build a profile somewhere in between. The route adapts to the rider, not the other way around.

Urban Rider is a true native Android app, not a web wrapper. Every profile and preference from the iPhone version is here, rebuilt to feel at home on Android: pick your vehicle and speed cap, choose the road types to avoid, and tune voice guidance, speed-camera warnings and more.
It does exactly the same job, it just looks like Android rather than a copy of iOS. Free on Google Play.

A 25 km/h electric snorfiets in Amsterdam, a 50cc Vespa in Rome, a 125cc commuter in Berlin, a touring motorcycle on a Sunday: these aren't the same ride. Urban Rider lets you tune speed warnings, allowed road types, map style, voice cues, day and night themes, and routing preferences down to the kind of detail most apps don't even acknowledge.
Set it once. Save the profile. Forget about it. The right route is now your default.

Urban Rider was built by a rider in Berlin who got tired of being routed onto roads where his moped wasn't allowed. Every feature is here for a reason.
Scooter, moped, motorcycle, and bike profiles, each with rules that match the law and the limits of the vehicle.
Time predictions modeled on real two-wheel speeds, not the average car driving the same path.
Concise, well-timed instructions, never a wall of words at a junction. Adjust the language, voice, and verbosity.
No account required. Route history stays on your device. We don't sell your data, full stop.
Dense city centers, suburbs, coastal roads. Urban Rider keeps the same calm logic on every kind of street.
A heads-up before fixed speed cameras along your route, so nothing catches you off guard mid-ride.
Temperature, conditions, and wind, right in the same trip panel as your ETA. No second app before you ride.
Save where you left your scooter, moped, or bike in the city, and Urban Rider walks you straight back to it.

"Two wheels deserve better navigation."
Urban Rider started as a personal frustration in Berlin. It became a tool I now share with riders who move through cities the same way I do.

Urban Rider is a navigation app built specifically for two-wheel vehicles, scooters, mopeds, motorcycles and bikes. Routes respect what your vehicle is actually allowed to ride: highways and major trunk roads are excluded by default for scooter and moped profiles, tunnels too where appropriate. Speeds are modeled on the 15–31 mph (25–50 km/h) range that covers most urban two-wheelers in Europe and many e-scooter/moped categories elsewhere.
Because in most countries, your moped legally can't be there. The default profiles for scooter and moped exclude restricted-class roads so you don't get pushed onto something dangerous or illegal. For motorcycles, the defaults are different, and you can change all of it in Settings.
Yes. Urban Rider is free to download on the Apple App Store. No account is required, and we don't sell your data. Read the privacy policy for the full detail.
Yes. Pick the motorcycle profile and the app will let highways and faster roads back in, and you can fine-tune from there. Riders use Urban Rider on everything from 50cc Vespas to 1200cc tourers. There are four vehicle profiles in total: scooter, moped, motorcycle and bike (including e-bikes).
Yes. Urban Rider is a native app on both iOS and Android. The Android app is live on Google Play and the iOS app is on the App Store. You can get it at play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.nav.urbanrider. Big updates also land on the Articles page and on Instagram, YouTube and X.
An internet connection is needed for real-time traffic and route calculation. We're working on more resilient offline behavior for tunnels and dead zones.
