Kolo puts nearby riders on a live map — motorbikes, city and mountain bikes, e-bikes, and e-scooters. Discover who is around, gather for a ride, broadcast to the neighbourhood, and message privately. Your exact position never leaves your phone.
A focused set of tools for finding people on two wheels, gathering for a ride, and staying in touch — built so that being visible never means being tracked.
See riders around you on a real map that recentres itself as you move. Riders in the same area are drawn as one counted marker — never as an exact dot.
Start a local event happening right now that alerts riders within a radius you choose, or schedule a global event that reaches everyone. Live events show up on the map.
A deliberate, confirmed SOS shares one fresh incident location with eligible riders within 50 km for up to an hour — even if you're hidden. It is not a replacement for emergency services.
Post a short, radius-scoped message that expires on its own. Nobody gets pinged — a broadcast simply waits in the feed for whoever is around.
One-to-one threads with unread counts, routed so audience rules and mutual blocks are enforced without ever exposing your account identity.
Events and messages land in a shared inbox with unread badges, refresh, and mark-read. Opt in to push and a tap takes you straight back to it.
Choose hidden or neighbourhood (about a 1 km cell). There is deliberately nothing finer, and hidden is the default.
Block unwanted contact and report safety concerns. Blocks are mutual and enforced everywhere — on the map, in messages, and in the feed.
Say what you ride and the one spec that matters — engine cc, motor watts, or gears — pick your networking goals, and set an age band that never reveals your exact year.
Kolo's whole premise — riders seeing each other with no transaction to justify it — is a wide exposure, so the privacy rules are built into the product, not bolted on. Two of them are enforced by tests.
Positions are snapped to the centre of a cell and distances rounded up to a band — both set by your own visibility choice. The app never even receives a precise coordinate for another rider.
A stored position is never taken as proof you're there. Anything older than a three-minute freshness window is dropped, so the map shows who is actually out riding.
You publish your neighbourhood only when you're signed in, in the app, and have explicitly chosen to. Background, signed-out, and hidden riders publish nothing. Kolo is 16+.
SOS is the only feature that shares an exact location, and only after you explicitly confirm it. It sends one fresh incident fix to eligible riders within 50 km for up to one hour — it is not continuous tracking, and you can resolve or cancel it at any time.
Kolo does not contact emergency services and is not a substitute for calling 112. If someone is in danger, call your local emergency number first.
No follower counts, no feed to farm — just the people and rides around you right now.
Who is around, at a glance — coarsened, counted, and honest when it's quiet.
Happening now and coming up, with SOS one deliberate tap away.
Your ride, your goals, and a visibility switch that defaults to hidden.
Clear, acknowledged safety rules before you ever appear on the map.
Sign in with email, Google, or Apple, then say what you ride and pick up to five networking goals. It takes a minute.
Stay hidden, or share your neighbourhood cell. You decide, and you can change it from the map or your profile at any time.
Find riders nearby, message them, broadcast to the area, or spin up an event — and let the inbox keep you in the loop.
Kolo is an early prototype. Discovery, messaging, broadcasts, events, and notifications are here for controlled testing while the safety, moderation, and legal operating procedures are reviewed for Croatia and the EU. Treat what you see as provisional, and please tell us what breaks.
