GPS Speedometer for Scooters & Mopeds

Yes. GPS Speedometer works on any vehicle (or pedestrian, even) — it measures actual ground speed via satellites, regardless of the vehicle type.

Absolutely. Many mopeds ship without speedometers — GPS Speedometer is the perfect retrofit. Mount on the handlebars and ride.

GPS provides an estimate of speed over ground, independent of wheel size. Signal quality, obstructions, low speed and processing can affect the reading. A fixed percentage error or greater accuracy than another instrument is not guaranteed.

Small two-stroke engines can vibrate hard enough to damage the iPhone's camera optical stabilization over time. Use a vibration-damping mount (Quad Lock with damper, RAM Mount with cushioned ball) for sustained two-stroke use.

Modern iPhones (XR onwards) are IP67-rated for splashes and brief immersion — light rain on a bar mount is fine for short rides. For extended wet-weather use, add a transparent rain cover (most Quad Lock and RAM cases include or sell one) or pop the phone off and ride by ear; the trip recording resumes from where it stopped when you remount.

Battery use varies with the device, battery health, screen brightness, signal and enabled features. No fixed hourly drain or runtime has been established for the app. For long trips, plan a suitable charger or power bank.

In most US states / Canada / UK, yes — there's no requirement that the factory gauge be functional, only that you obey posted limits. Some EU jurisdictions (notably Germany's StVZO) require a working physical speedometer for road use, especially on mopeds; in those countries, treat the iPhone as a supplement, not a replacement. For e-scooter rentals (Lime / Bird / etc.), the iPhone is always supplementary — the rental device has its own readout. **Always check and follow your local laws** before relying on a phone speedometer as the primary readout.

Core GPS speed tracking and trip recording work without internet, with location permission and a usable GPS signal. Automatic road-speed-limit data and weather need internet. Maps and other connected features may be unavailable offline.

Allow time for a usable location reading and keep a clear view of the sky. Acquisition time varies with the device and surroundings; there is no fixed waiting time. Recording, saving and basic viewing of trips are free. Detailed route playback and analysis require PRO.

Yes. Vespas are perfect for GPS Speedometer — many vintage Vespas have failing speedos, and GPS preserves the original dashboard while giving accurate speed.
