Description
Make every ride calm, fast, and highway-free. Urban Rider finds city streets that suit scooters and mopeds. So you avoid stressful high-speed roads and stay focused on the ride.
Why riders switch
• No-highway routing: Built for 25–50 km/h vehicles to keep you on safer city roads.
• Arrive on time: ETAs tuned for scooters, not car math, so plans stay realistic.
• Urban-canyon GPS: Reliable guidance between tall buildings.
• Glance-friendly UI: Minimalist map with oversized turn arrows; less distraction.
• Speed-zone awareness: Gentle warnings before you enter faster zones.
• Battery-Saving Mode: Go farther on a single charge while staying on course.
• Export your way: Plan here, then open routes in Apple Maps, Google Maps, or export GPX.

What's new (v4.17.5)
This update is about reading the road in direct sunlight, and tighter routing tools.
• High Contrast for Sunlight Mode. New sub-toggle in Settings that flips the whole app to a white, e-reader-style monochrome look: basemap, route line, panels, and sheets all go grayscale for direct-sunlight readability. Your Apple Watch mirrors it. The green Start button and red speed-limit alerts deliberately stay coloured.
• Prefer Ferries. New routing toggle under Navigation Settings, Roads & surfaces. Routes will take a ferry when it's a real alternative to a long road detour.
• Route Width slider. Tune the route line thickness from 4 to 16 pt under Map Display.
• Navigation Settings reorganised into six clear sub-groups: Vehicle, Route preferences, Roads & surfaces, Speed & warnings, Voice guidance, Advanced. Parking moved to its own row next to Saved Destinations.
• Favourites fix. Tapping a saved destination now starts a clean route every time. No stale pins from the previous one.
• Polish. Bigger ETA, Distance, and Speed numbers in the driving panel. Splash screen text holds steady when GPS arrives. Landscape tiles cleared from the home indicator.
