For adventure riders

Ride apart.Stay together.

MeshMates puts every rider in your group on one map. Over 4G and 5G when there's signal, and bike to bike over Meshtastic radio when there isn't. Nobody gets left at the fork.

Sound familiar?

Great ride. Then someone's missing.

Group rides string out. Dust, distance and a few wrong turns later, half the group is waiting at a junction wondering who's still behind.

"Which way did they go?"

A missed corner marker and a rider is ten kilometres down the wrong track before anyone notices.

"Where's the sweep?"

The back of the pack stopped. Flat tyre? Drop in the sand? From the front, there's no way to tell.

"No bars, mate."

Down in the valley the phones go quiet. Exactly where you'd most like to know everyone's okay.

How it works

Three steps to a group that finds itself.

Fit a MeshMates unit

A small Meshtastic radio with its own 4G connection, on the bike or in your jacket. It talks to the other riders' radios and to the network.

Join your group

Create a group for the ride and invite your mates. Your position is shared only with the people in it.

Ride

Everyone shows up on one map on your phone: who's ahead, who's behind, who's stopped, near or far.

Coverage

Two ways to stay in touch. It uses whichever works.

Mobile coverage out here is patchy. MeshMates doesn't depend on it.

Meshtastic radio

Bike to bike

When there are no bars, the units talk to each other directly over long-range radio, no towers needed.

  • Works anywhere, with no mobile network at all
  • Several kilometres between bikes, further with height
  • Positions hop rider to rider along the group
4G / 5G

Anywhere with signal

Where there's coverage, positions go up to the MeshMates cloud, so distance doesn't matter.

  • See riders who've split off on another route
  • Family or base camp can follow along at home
  • One rider with signal can carry the group's positions out

Better together

A rider in a dead zone passes their position by radio to a mate who still has signal, and from there it reaches everyone else. You don't switch anything; it just finds a way.

Made for the trail

Built for riders, not desk jockeys.

One map, whole group

Every rider, near or far, at a glance. Know where the front and the sweep are without stopping.

Last known spot

If someone drops out of reach, you still see where and when they were last heard from.

Private by default

Your position goes to your group, and to nobody else.

Hands off the phone

The unit does the work. Your phone stays in the tank bag until you want to look.

Long days, remote places

Low-power radio made for days out bush, not for a quick trip to the shops.

Open radio standard

Built on Meshtastic, the open long-range mesh radio used by people around the world.

MeshMates

Nobody left behind.

Whether your mates are just over the next ridge or on the other side of the range, you'll know where they are.
