Why Scooter Riders Need Speed Tracking
City Speed Limits
Most cities enforce 15 MPH limits for e-scooters on streets and 10 MPH on bike paths. Many personal scooters lack speedometers, making it impossible to know your speed. GPS helps you stay compliant and avoid tickets.
Broken Speedometers
Vintage Vespas and older mopeds often have mechanical speedometer failures. Cable-driven speedometers break, gears strip, and displays fade. GPS offers a modern, reliable alternative.
No Built-In Display
Budget e-scooters and kick scooters rarely include speedometers. Even premium models may show battery but not speed. Your phone becomes your dashboard. E-bike riders can check out our cycling-specific tips and features.

Safety Tips for Scooter Riders
Don't Look While Moving
Position your phone mount within peripheral vision. Quick glances only - never stare at the screen while riding.
Wear a Helmet
Always wear appropriate safety gear. Speed tracking is for safety and compliance, not racing.
Battery Management
GPS + screen-on uses significant battery (15-30%/hour). For rides under 30 minutes, battery isn't an issue. For longer commutes, start with 60%+ charge or lower screen brightness to 30-50%.
Respect Speed Limits
Speed limits exist for pedestrian safety. Slow down in crowded areas, near crosswalks, and around children.
βοΈ Legal Information
Legal Notice: E-scooter laws vary significantly by city, county, and state. Speed limits, helmet requirements, age restrictions, and permitted riding areas differ by location. GPS Speedometer MPH Tracker is designed to help you monitor your speed, but riders are solely responsible for knowing and following all applicable local laws and regulations. Check your city's transportation department or local government website for current e-scooter rules in your area.
