If yours isn't here, write to hello@rahiride.com and it probably should be.

Getting Rahi

Where do I download it?

Nowhere yet — Rahi is being readied for release on Google Play and the App Store. Leave us an address on the coming soon page and we'll tell you the day it's live.

There used to be a download button here

There was. Rahi was installable directly from this site while it was in testing, and that has been taken down ahead of the store release — so that there is one place to get it, every copy is signed and verifiable, and updates actually reach the people using it.

I already installed it. Do I lose anything?

No. Keep riding with it. When the store version lands, install that and your account, bikes, trips and documents come with you — they live with your account, not the app.

Will there be an iPhone version?

Yes. iOS arrives with the store release — direct installs were Android-only by definition, which is part of why this is worth doing properly.

Will it cost anything?

No. Free, with no ads, no trackers and nothing to subscribe to.

Fuel and range

Where do the mileage numbers come from?

Initially from the manufacturer's figure less about ten percent, because brochure mileage is measured in conditions no one rides in. Once you log refuels, Rahi uses your actual mileage and stops guessing.

How many refuels before it's accurate?

One helps. Three or four and it's genuinely yours. Riding style, load and terrain all move the number, which is exactly why a fixed figure is worth so little.

Are the fuel prices real?

They're estimates for costing a trip, not live pump prices. Fuel prices in India change daily and vary by state, so treat the total as a planning figure.

Team rides

How do I invite someone?

Create the ride and share the link. Tapping it opens Rahi straight on the join screen with the code filled in. If they don't have Rahi, the link shows them where to get it, with the code to use afterwards.

How many riders can join?

Up to 25 on the map, and voice runs between up to 6 at a time.

Can people see where I am after the ride?

No. Location sharing is bounded by the ride and deleted when it ends. Rahi keeps no location history.

Offline

Does voice really work with no network?

Yes — the phones connect to each other directly, with no SIM, Wi-Fi or pairing involved, and riders in between relay it further. Range depends heavily on terrain; riders in a group are normally well within it.

What can't I do offline?

Plan a new route, search for a place, refresh weather, or see your team's live positions — all of those need a connection. Navigation on a saved map, voice, the speedometer and everything already stored keep working.

How big are offline maps?

Tens of megabytes for a typical few-hundred-kilometre route, because Rahi saves the corridor along your road rather than a whole state.

Account and data

Why do I need an account?

So your bikes, trips and documents survive changing phones, and so team rides know who's who. It's an email address and a password — nothing else is asked for.

How do I delete everything?

Delete your account in the app, or write to privacy@rahiride.com. Your trips, bikes, documents and logs go with it.

Does Rahi track me?

No. There are no analytics or tracking SDKs in the build, no ads, and no background location — the permission is blocked outright, so the app cannot read your position when it's closed.

Trouble

The map is blank or grey

Usually no connection and no saved offline map for that area. Save the offline map for your route before leaving Wi-Fi.

My speed reads zero while I'm moving

Give it a few seconds for a GPS fix — it needs a clear view of the sky, so it can take longer in dense city or heavy cloud.

Nobody can hear me on voice

Check that everyone has joined the same team ride, that Rahi has microphone permission, and that your helmet intercom is connected to the phone rather than to another rider's.

Still stuck?

Write to us. Bug reports from riders are the most useful thing we get.
