Roads worth
the detour.
Vamoto plans motorcycle rides that chase curves instead of saving minutes — and the whole thing lives on your phone. Maps, curve scores, the routing engine itself: on the device, so the ride works exactly the same with zero bars.

km 07 · the idea
Curves, not minutes.
Every navigation app can find the fastest way. Vamoto scores every road in Europe by how much of it actually bends — the radius of each curve, from tight hairpin to fast sweeper — and routes you along the roads that score.
The metric is honest: long straights between hairpins don't dilute a great pass, and continuously wiggly forest tracks don't game it. Only real, continuous curves on real roads count — which is exactly why the roads riders already love come out on top.
- 95,921 curvy stretches indexed across Europe
- curve radius measured in 4 bins, 30–175 m
- Stelvio · Großglockner · Timmelsjoch all classify
km 19 · no bars, no problem
The whole engine rides with you.
Maps, curve scores and the routing engine itself live on your phone — not on somebody's server. Airplane mode, a dead valley, a border with no roaming: Vamoto plans and re-plans exactly the same. Offline isn't a fallback with half the features. It's the only mode there is.

km 34 · two screens, one garage
Plan on the big screen. Ride with the phone.
Vamoto is an app on your phone and a planner in your browser. Sketch Sunday's route with a coffee and a big monitor, and it's on the handlebars when you gear up — same routes, same profiles, kept in sync.
On the road, the phone is self-sufficient: it carries its own maps and does its own routing. The browser planner is the armchair; the app is the ride.
km 48 · who's riding
Five ways to ride the same map.
A rider profile swaps the whole routing personality: which roads count as attractive, which surfaces are welcome, and how much detour a good curve is worth.
commuter — just get me there, gently twisty hunter — every hairpin in the county
km 60 · loops to order
Tell it 150 km. Get back a loop.
One start point, a target length, an optional compass direction. Vamoto builds a loop through the best curvy stretches nearby, lands within a few percent of the distance you asked for — and actually circulates, instead of riding the same road out and back.
Liked yesterday's loop? Every route carries a seed: the same seed rebuilds the same ride, a new one finds a new discovery.
- target 150 km → arrives 143–158 km
- 8-way direction hint, soft not strict
- seed 1 → the same loop, every time

€3
a year,
give or take
Vamoto will cost a couple of euros a year — enough to keep the servers on and development moving, and not a cent more.
No ads. No selling your location. No premium tier holding the good features hostage. One small price, everything included — and because the app routes on your own phone, you're never paying for someone else's compute.
km 93 · where it works
Europe and North America, day one.
Vamoto launches with Europe and at least North America — the exact region list lands with the release. Maps live on your device: download the regions you ride, delete the ones you don't, and take them where roaming doesn't reach.

Questions, answered.
What does it cost?
Around €3 a year. The price exists to cover hosting and development once there's a real userbase — nothing more. No ads, no data selling, no features locked behind a bigger tier.
Does it really work offline?
Yes — that's the point of Vamoto. Maps and the routing engine live on the device, so planning, re-routing and the ridden map all work in airplane mode. Offline is the primary mode, not an afterthought.
Is it an app or a website?
Both. The app on your phone does the riding — it carries its own maps and its own routing. The browser planner is for sketching routes on a big screen; the two stay in sync.
Where does it work?
At launch: Europe and at least North America — the exact region list will be announced with the release, and more regions follow. You download the map regions you ride onto your device.
What's a seed?
Loops and curvy routes use controlled randomness so you can discover new rides. The seed pins that randomness: the same seed with the same settings rebuilds exactly the same route — share it, repeat it, or roll a new one.
Is my data private?
Routes and rides are stored on your device by default. They only leave it when you sign in and sync, or when you create a share link yourself.
