Does it work in my city?

Can it find my scooter if it gets stolen?
No. Volta Riders is for navigating and riding with other riders. To find a stolen scooter you need a GPS tracker hidden in the scooter itself.
Can I use it on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Volta Riders is on the App Store and Google Play, and it also works in the browser.
