What is Velopit?
Velopit is a bike maintenance app with a digital service book, made in Weilheim in Oberbayern, Germany. You pick your bike from its catalog, take over a maintenance plan, and Velopit counts the kilometers on the bike and on every component fitted to it. Connect Strava and your rides arrive on their own; without Strava you add rides by hand. Each part shows when its next service is due, by kilometers, time or operating hours.
The web app launched in May 2026, the Android app in mid-September and the iPhone app on October 20, 2026. One account works across all three.
Key Features
Bikes and components
Choosing a model fills in its model year, category and stock parts. Components keep their mileage when you move them to another bike, so a wheelset swapped from the gravel bike to the road bike carries its kilometers with it. You also decide which rides count for which parts, since a trainer ride wears different parts than a ride outside.
Service intervals and reminders
Every component can have its own interval: kilometers for a chain, operating hours for a fork or shock, or a span of time. Reminders come by push notification or email, and an optional weekly recap arrives by email on Thursday evenings. Ready-made plans for road, gravel, MTB and other bikes suggest intervals when you set a bike up.
Digital service book
Services and part swaps go into a history with the date, the mileage and the details, along with invoices and documents. Entries are cancelled rather than deleted, so corrections stay visible. You can share the service book by link, choosing which bike details and entries to show (the link works without an account), or save it as a PDF in the browser. Bike shops in a pilot program can add confirmed entries of their own.
Workshop sessions
Collect the jobs for one bike or several over days or weeks, with checklists and the parts you need. Tick them off as you go; when you close the session, the work goes into the service book.
Inventory and setups
Spare parts, consumables such as chain wax and sealant, and a shopping list live alongside your bikes. Each bike can also store its setup: saddle height and reach, tire pressures, suspension settings and torque values.
Bike assistant
A chat assistant that knows your saved bikes, parts and services, answers maintenance questions, and with your confirmation logs a service, adds an interval or saves a setup value. It runs on Google Gemini and receives summed kilometers per bike and part, never individual rides.
Who It's For
- Riders with several bikes who swap wheels and parts between them
- Riders who record on Strava and want part mileage counted without typing it in
- E-bike and leased-bike riders who need a service record for the shop, the lease return or a sale
- Mountain bikers who service suspension by operating hours
Worth Knowing
Once you connect Strava, you link each Strava bike to a bike in Velopit (there's an automatic match), and you can tell Velopit to ignore a Strava bike altogether. The connection is read-only: Velopit reads your profile, bikes and activities and writes nothing to Strava. It keeps only what it needs for rides and their bike assignment; heart rate and route data aren't kept. Disconnecting in Velopit stops the sync; revoke access in your Strava settings as well.
Velopit tracks use, not measured wear, so check the part itself before you replace it.
Basic is free for up to three bikes with unlimited components, reminders, the service book, PDF and Excel export and 25 assistant requests a month. Ride is €24 a year in the browser and adds up to 20 bikes, component groups, a wear forecast for an upcoming race or tour, and the assistant without a monthly cap. On iPhone, Ride is bought through Apple at the App Store price (€29.99 a year in Germany). The Android app has no purchase; buy Ride in the browser and it applies there too. The service book PDF is made in the browser; Excel export works in the browser and the iPhone app, and the Android app has neither yet.
Velopit is in English and German and follows your device language, though numbers still use German formatting; the App Store lists the iPhone app in German only. The iPhone and Android apps are available in Germany, Austria and Switzerland for now, Velopit told us in November 2026, with more countries planned; elsewhere, use the web app. The iPhone app needs iOS 15.0 or later.
Do I need Strava to use Velopit?
No. You can add rides and mileage by hand, and time-based intervals work without any rides. Connecting Strava makes ride sync automatic.
Can I move a part from one bike to another?
Yes. A component keeps its mileage when you fit it to a different bike, and Velopit records where it was fitted.
Does Velopit write anything to Strava?
No. It reads your rides and bikes to count kilometers and writes nothing back to your Strava account.
