Ether: Bike Speedometer & Route Safety THE RIDE COCKPIT THAT WATCHES YOUR BACK Ether turns your phone into a live GPS speedometer for cycling, hiking, and trail running - then quietly makes sure the people who care about you know you're safe, without you lifting a finger. Ride solo on unfamiliar roads, or lead a group out on the trail. Either way, you get a clean cockpit mid-ride and a safety net running underneath it. LIVE SPEEDOMETER & RIDE COCKPIT: Real-time GPS speed, average speed, and top speed, always readable mid-ride. Distance, elevation climb, pace, and moving time at a glance. High-contrast, large-type display built for sunlight and motion, not a cluttered dashboard. CRASH DETECTION & SOS: Automatic crash detection triggered by a sudden speed drop. One-tap SOS that alerts only your trusted circle, never strangers. Stop-check-ins if you go quiet, so nobody has to guess where you are. LIVE LOCATION SHARING WITH YOUR CIRCLE: Share your live ride or hike with family, your riding partner, or your crew. Private circles only - your location is never public. Geofenced trusted places for automatic arrival and departure alerts. TRAIL & ROUTE INTELLIGENCE: Pre-ride trail conditions, surface status, and recent rider reports. Personalized difficulty scoring before you commit to a route. Route planning with a full post-ride summary, photos, and journey timeline. BUILT FOR CYCLISTS, HIKERS, AND TRAIL RUNNERS: Solo or in a group. Road, gravel, or singletrack. Pair Ether with your favorite route planner for turn-by-turn navigation, and let Ether handle the live speed tracking and the safety net underneath it. Ether is free to download. Circle safety features and advanced trail intelligence are available with a subscription. Your trail. Your safety. Your circle.
