Crash Detection watches for the signs of a crash while you’re recording a ride. If it detects one, it counts down and then alerts your emergency contacts.

Turn It On

Crash Monitoring needs to be on, and a ride needs to be recording. Detection runs on your phone. Apple Watch doesn’t detect crashes.

Sensitivity

Choose Low, Normal or High in Settings, then Protect. Normal suits most riders. Try Low if you get false alarms on rough roads.

The Countdown

When a crash is detected, your phone sounds an alarm and counts down. Pick the countdown length under Time to Cancel: 10, 20, 30, 45 or 60 seconds. The default is 30.

  • Tap I’m OK, Cancel Emergency if you’re fine.
  • Tap Alert Now to send the alert right away.

Who Gets Told

Your emergency contacts get your location and a link to follow it. See Emergency Contacts.

If the app is closed or your phone loses power after a crash is detected, MotoRev’s servers still send the alerts.

MotoRev does not call 911 or any emergency service. If you need help, call them yourself or ask someone nearby to.
