WolfPack | iOS

Going on motorcycle rides in groups is a fun way to experience the open road. Yet there are a few realities that present potential challenges—between the noise, distance between riders, road hazards, and the need to stay focused—riders often get disconnected, lost, or just separated, potentially resulting in reckless driving as they try to reconnect with the group.

WolfPack solves these problems with an integrated experience for traveling in a group (Pack). Before going on a “run,” WolfPack lets you invite fellow riders to join a pack and plan out a group run at a specified time and date. Once your pack is ready to ride, WolfPack provides an on-ride navigation experience, with turn-by-turn directions, a radar showing the position of other riders relative to you and the ability to send quick, predefined messages to your pack with just a couple of taps of your finger.
