Scenic, for the calm way home
Quieter, calmer roads. Trades a little distance for a ride you actually enjoy.
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.

Focused on purpose
We do one thing, and we do it better than anyone.
Urban Rider is not a world map, a car router or a do-everything travel app. It plans routes for two wheels, and that focus is exactly the point.
What we skip, on purpose
- Car routing that ignores what you ride
- Highways and roads your vehicle cannot use
- Accounts, clutter and selling your data
What we obsess over
- Routes that respect what your vehicle may ride
- Arrival times at the speed you actually travel
- A screen you can read in a single glance
Try everything free for 7 days, no account needed. After that Urban Rider is a paid subscription, and that is the deal on purpose: you pay for the app, so the app works for you, with no ads and your data never sold.
Three ways to ride
Same start, same finish. Your pick of the road there.
Choose a mood for the trip, not just a destination. Urban Rider can plan the same journey three ways, and you decide which one you are in today.
Efficient, when you just want there
The sensible, direct route for the days you are simply getting somewhere.
Fast, on the roads your moped may use
For mopeds where the law allows it, the quicker main roads your moped is permitted on. Never a motorway, and just for that one trip.
Finally, a map that rides the way you do. Try Urban Rider free for 7 days.

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.
Never sent onto a motorway again
Scooter, moped, motorcycle and bike profiles, each routing by the rules that fit the vehicle, so yours stays off roads it cannot use.
Skip the jam before you reach it
Every route is built around real-time traffic and road closures, so you skirt jams and blocked streets instead of riding into them.
Arrive when it says, not 20 minutes late
Accurate ETAs modelled on real two-wheel speeds, not the average car on the same road.
Eyes on the road, not the screen
Concise, well-timed voice cues, never a wall of words at a junction.
See the camera before it sees you
Speed camera warnings before fixed cameras along your route, worldwide.
Know the weather before you feel it
Live route weather, temperature, conditions and wind, right beside your ETA. No second app.
One ride, every stop
Chain several stops into one multi-stop route, or ask for a round trip that loops you back to where you started.
Always find where you left it
Save your parking spot, then walk straight back to your ride afterwards.
Ride without being tracked
Privacy-first: no account needed to start, route history stays on your device, no data sold.
Trusted from city to countryside
The same calm route logic across dense centres, suburbs and open roads.
Guided even with no signal
Two on-device voices, Nova and Leo, speak every turn from your phone. Offline, no data, made for where the signal drops.
Know the limit before the fine
The live speed limit stays on screen, with a red border and a haptic nudge the moment you cross it.
In the right lane, through every tunnel
Lane and roundabout guidance line you up early, and dead-reckoning keeps guiding you through tunnels and signal drops.
Motorcycle? Take the fun way
Switch on Curvy Roads and the route deliberately seeks out the twisty roads worth riding.
Readable at a glance, even in glare
Big, bold directions sized for the handlebar, plus a high-contrast Sunlight Mode that stays legible in bright sun.
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.
Set it once, and every route just fits. Try Urban Rider free for 7 days.

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.

05 / More than navigation
Built for the electric era. And the wrist on it.
Riding electric? Urban Rider surfaces charging stations along your route, with output, network and walking distance. On petrol? Find fuel stops the same way. Wearing an Apple Watch? Your next turn lives on your wrist, so the phone can stay mounted.

Recent rides, one tap away
Re-ride any recent trip without setting the whole thing up again.

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. You get a 7-day free trial of the full app on both iOS and Android. After the trial you need a subscription to keep using it, available 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.
