Professional product for AI-powered cycling and mountain bike route discovery, terrain analysis, and GPX generation.

BikeScout - AI for tactical cycling intelligence

BikeScout is a specialized AI engine for MTB, Road, E-Bike, and Gravel mission planning. It transforms raw map data into Tactical Intelligence, predicting terrain conditions and trail hazards. The system provides precise setup advice, tailoring your equipment to the demands of the specific route, identifying technical challenges and environmental risks before you even leave the garage.

Example Queries

You can ask BikeScout complex, multi-step requests. It combines real-time data with technical cycling intelligence to provide expert-level answers.

🗺️ Advanced Planning (Multi-Tool)

• "I'm at Monte Cavo with my MTB bike (29 tires). Plan a 25km loop for me. Check if the terrain is compatible with my bike, verify the afternoon rain probability, and suggest a 'Fraschetta' for the finish. Use the Castelli Romani guide."

⚙️ Bike Setup & Surface Intelligence

• "Check this route from Barcelona city center to El Prat. I'm on a Road Bike with 25mm tires. Is it compatible? Give me the exact percentage of gravel vs asphalt."

📈 Visual Elevation & Gradient Analysis

• "Plan a 40km route starting from Bormio. I need the Visual Elevation Profile to see the exact gradients of the Stelvio climb. Highlight sections over 12% so I can manage my pacing."

🏔️ Local Expertise

• "Use the Derby local guide to plan a road cycling route starting from Derby. I need at least 800m of elevation gain. Also, recommend the correct tire pressure for high-altitude descents."

🛠️ Quick Tech Checks

• "Give me the safety checklist and calculate the tire pressure for a 90kg rider on 2.3" tubeless tires for a muddy ride."

🏁 Post-Ride Analysis & Terrain Truth

• "Analyze my ride from 2026-04-12. Compare my average speed with the Mud Risk at that time and tell me if the terrain conditions were the reason for my slow pace."

Why AGPLv3?

BikeScout contains proprietary-grade tactical logic (such as the TAEL® Mud Reservoir Model). The AGPLv3 ensures that:

• Transparency: Any modified version of BikeScout used to provide a service over a network (SaaS/Cloud) must make its full source code available to the community.
• Integrity: The core tactical intelligence remains open and collaborative, preventing "closed-source" commercial hijacking of the platform's unique algorithms.
