A social network for bikers: what GeoRide offers
Protect my motorcycle with GeoRideThe social network for bikers imagined by GeoRide has evolved: the community dimension now lives at the very heart of the app. Ride sharing in map or photo mode, video export ready for Instagram or TikTok, GPX routes to swap, live position for group rides: everything is designed to connect riders with each other, without locking them into yet another platform.
The essentials
- The GeoRide app captures every ride automatically and shares it on your social networks, in map or photo mode.
- The video export generates a clip of your ride ready to publish on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts or Facebook.
- The GPX export lets you swap your routes with riders who do not have GeoRide.
- Motonaut, the 100% motorcycle AI assistant, and the app's demo mode are freely accessible to everyone, customers or not.
Why do bikers look for a dedicated social network?
Because a motorcycle is not just a means of transport: it is a passion to be shared, and mainstream networks do not always understand that bond. Finding riding companions, showing off your machine, swapping the best roads in your area: these needs are real, and they explain why the idea of a social network for bikers keeps coming back.
"We have a bond with our motorcycle. Only bikers can understand that." Thomas, GeoRide founder
GeoRide, which launched its first connected solution in 2018, explored this path very early on: the app historically included its own social network, with rider profiles, groups for organising rides, photo sharing and even classified ads between enthusiasts. The app has since been completely redesigned, rebuilt from scratch, and the community dimension now expresses itself differently: rather than creating yet another closed network, GeoRide makes every ride easy to share wherever your friends already are.
This community is anything but virtual. It rides, it talks, it grows, and GeoRide has the ambition of becoming France's leading educational motorcycle media.
30,000
More than 30,000 riders are protected by GeoRide, a community built around an app and a tracker designed by bikers.
How can you share your rides with the community?
Every ride is captured automatically by the tracker: there is nothing to start, the ride is there when the bike is parked, ready to be relived and shared. You can publish it on your networks in map mode, which highlights the route, or in photo mode, which highlights the atmosphere of the day.
To go further, the video export turns your ride into a clip: animated route, distance, duration, weather and top speed overlaid, with the option of adding your own footage. The video is generated directly on your phone, in the ideal format for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts or Facebook. And since the July 2026 update, the 3D ride replay lets you fly over your ride in relief view, with a camera that follows the road and anticipates the corners, before exporting the result.
"When you do a big road trip day, you get home in the evening, sink into the sofa and watch your ride back. That feeling is unreal." Thomas, GeoRide founder
In practice, here is the right tool for every kind of sharing:
| What you want to share | The GeoRide tool | For whom |
|---|---|---|
| A finished ride | Sharing in map or photo mode | Your social networks |
| A memory on video | Video export with animated route and stats | Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Facebook |
| A route to ride again | GPX export from the web interface | All riders, even without GeoRide |
| Your live position | Public web link | Anyone, no app to install |
How can you swap routes with other riders?
The GPX format is the common language of bikers, and GeoRide lets you export any of your rides from the web interface. Every rider knows the secret roads of their area: GPX is precisely how you pass those gems on, including to friends who do not have a GeoRide tracker.
Once the file is exported, you can edit the track in Garmin, Komoot or MyRouteApp, ride a route in the opposite direction, or use it as the basis for planning a road trip. It is also the ideal building block for creating a motorcycle road book and passing it around your group before the next ride.
The advantage over a route drawn by hand: a GPX from GeoRide comes from a ride that was actually ridden. The boring straights? Someone has already filtered them out for you.
Can you ride in a group and follow each other in real time?
Yes, and it is even one of the community's favourite uses: sharing your position in real time during a ride, for a duration you choose. Everyone can see where the others are, no more failed regroupings at the toll booth exit.
For loved ones who do not ride, a simple web link is enough: no app to install, the position appears live in the browser. Automatic arrival and departure notifications by location replace the "got there safe" text you forget to send half the time, a real plus for reassuring your loved ones without thinking about it.
And if you would rather share nothing at all, that is possible too: sharing is voluntary, configurable, and can be limited to "only in the event of a crash" mode. As long as everything is fine, nobody sees anything. It is not surveillance, it is shared peace of mind.
Do you need to be a GeoRide customer to join the community?
No, and it is one of the big new features of the latest app: demo mode lets you try the GeoRide app freely, even without a tracker. You discover the interface, the rides, the features, exactly like an equipped user.
Motonaut, the 100% motorcycle AI assistant built into the app, is also free for everyone, customers or not. It answers questions on riding, gear, maintenance, buying or insurance, adapting to the exact year of your motorcycle: for a 2025 Yamaha MT-07, it loads the 136 pages of the manual in a fraction of a second and guides you from tyre pressure to the oil change.
The GeoRide community therefore begins before buying a tracker: any rider can download the app, ask their questions and get a feel for it.
What GeoRide brings here
A social network gets downloaded, a community gets built. GeoRide's is built on a tracker that protects your motorcycle against theft, captures your rides and reassures your loved ones, with a GPS tracker that sends up to 10 positions per second in corners where a conventional beacon settles for one point every 5 minutes.
The tracker fits in 5 minutes and the offer starts from €9.99/month on the rental plan with no commitment. Between the GeoRide mini and the GeoRide 3s, the right choice depends on how you ride: our GeoRide mini vs GeoRide 3s comparison helps you decide. In both cases, app and tracker updates are free for life: the sharing features will keep growing without you paying anything more.
Frequently asked questions
Do you need a GeoRide tracker to access the app?
No, the GeoRide app's demo mode is freely accessible to everyone, without a tracker. Motonaut, the motorcycle AI assistant, is also free for all riders, customers or not. The tracker remains necessary to capture your own rides and protect your motorcycle.
How do you share a ride with a rider who does not have GeoRide?
Three options: the public web link to follow your position live without an app, the GPX export to pass on the route, and the video export to send them the ride in pictures. None of the three requires your friend to be equipped.
Is position sharing permanent?
No, sharing is always voluntary and configurable. You can limit it to the duration of a ride, choose the "only in the event of a crash" mode (your loved ones see nothing as long as everything is fine) or share nothing at all.
Which social networks can you publish your GeoRide rides on?
The video export is designed for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Facebook. Standard ride sharing, in map or photo mode, works on all your usual networks.
