RidePilot is a modern GPS bike tracker and e-bike computer designed for riders who want accurate tracking, clean design, and powerful ride analytics without unnecessary complexity. HEADS-UP DISPLAY Shows you only what you need while riding! Speedometer, Distance, Altitude, Elevation, Weather, Cycling Navigation & Maps (satellite and road views available). One tap gives you access to weather radar, alerts, navigation, detailed ride metrics and the camera without ever leaving your ride. Live Activity keeps your ride status and key metrics available when locked. LOCAL WEATHER See current weather conditions while you ride with 1-touch access. Get your cycling forecast, severe weather alerts, and detailed radar with one tap. We also compute a "Ride Feel" temperature based on wind, humidity, cloud cover and riding speed. RIDE SUMMARIES Your ride history stores all map routes and statistics for every ride. INTEGRATED CAMERA Take photos along your ride without stopping your recording. All photos are automatically saved to your Photos library with location metadata. View these photos within each ride summary and collection. ROUTE COLLECTIONS Organize your bike rides around the places, routes, and adventures that matter to you. Group rides into Collections, with optional folders. See combined summaries across rides and optionally compare them against an entire target bike route imported from GPX. Smart map pins identify route starts, stops, turnarounds, and photos, making it easy to find a location and open it in an external map app for directions. Already have rides recorded elsewhere? Import GPX ride history for a complete view. SPEED WARNING Optionally set a speed threshold at which you get warnings when approaching & exceeding. CUSTOMIZABLE Change dashboard settings (auto pause, always on screen), map zoom level, colors & measurement units. SAVES YOUR BATTERY We've added numerous battery saving techniques that work together to reduce unnecessary GPS processing, mapping, and display activity while still providing the information you need during a ride. Battery-saving behavior is boosted even further when Low Power Mode is enabled. Works even when your phone is locked. POOR SIGNAL? NO PROBLEM! GPS and internet connections aren't perfect all the time and RidePilot is designed around that reality. Poor GPS accuracy or gaps, tunnels, noisy elevation data, and spotty internet connectivity all happen while riding. RidePilot does its best to filter out the bad data and recover from gaps when possible. RIDE MANAGEMENT RidePilot handles the details of recording so you can focus on riding. It has automatic pausing for when you stop temporarily, manual pausing & resuming for breaks that last a little longer as well as background saving and background recording (do other things on your phone at the same time). DESIGNED FOR CYCLISTS & EBIKES RidePilot focuses on the information cyclists and e-bikers actually need while riding, with clean, easily readable screens, important metrics, and detailed ride analysis. This ebike computer works especially well as an electric bike companion app or HUD. It works great attached to a phone holder on a Trek, Aventon, Lectric, Velotric, Heybike, Ride1Up and Aipas ebike. It's the perfect ebike GPS tracker. 100% PRIVATE RidePilot stores your ride data locally on your device. We don't require an account and do not upload your rides to our servers (we don't have any!). You can also export your complete ride library as a ZIP file containing all ride GPX files, that can be used to import GPX rides into other apps and services (like Strava, RidewithGPS). ACCURATE & BATTLE TESTED RidePilot has been tested for 200+ miles across varied riding conditions, including comparisons against Garmin and other ride trackers, to validate distance, speed, elevation, and other ride metrics. We've done extensive work ensuring that you see only the most accurate data on your bike computer dashboard.
