Record a ride

Last updated October 17, 2026

Start recording in the app and ride. Afterwards you find it in My Routes, under Ridden, with your distance, time and ride stats. Kilometres you record or navigate in the app earn XP.

The app can record your ride, with or without a route to follow.

  1. Start a recording in the app, or start navigation on a route.
  2. Ride. The app keeps track of where you ride.
  3. Stop when you are done. The ride lands in My Routes, under Ridden, with its distance and time.

You earn 1 XP for every kilometre you record or navigate in the app. Very short rides and rides at implausible speeds do not count. Imported tracks earn no ride XP.

Who sees your rides

Your rides are yours. On the website, in My Account, you choose whether other riders see your ride totals on your profile; your top speed always stays private. See Privacy of your routes and rides.

Without Pro, your ride history shows the last 90 days. Motarva Pro keeps your full history with best times. Older rides are not deleted: Pro opens them again.
