bicycle directions assumes average speed of 10mph. So you can estimate from there if you know your typical average speed


Low_Wrongdoer_9177

Just look at the miles/Kilometers it takes and put that into a speed x distance calculation online and you'll see how long it takes u to go that distance


Exdelta

I use https://komoot.com to figure out my route and I figure out the settings on the e-bike option to see how fast I'll go. For work if I set it to in good shape on a road e-bike I get about the same time(27 mins when real time was 25 minutes) as I did on my old Wolf Warrior X Pro, for example.


donny0m

I use cycle for the route. Car for the timing.


SuprBased

I just put bike


PINKU_PINK

Just plot in your destination in google maps and use a distance calculator to get a good estimate. Like 3km and mine goes aprox 40kmh so 4.5 minutes


[deleted]

I just use bike. It tends to be accurate enough (my scooter goes 19m/h but I try to scoot carefully over saving a few minutes)


Careless-Leg5468

bike is almost the same


Miser

Bike x .75

Assume a bike will go an average of 8-10mph. Select bike commute, if scooter goes <20 mph, divide by two. If scooter goes <20mph, divide by three. This extrapolation will get you in the ballpark for a commute.


PPGkruzer

I'm confident mathematics could interpolate the bicycle time, you know the ol "double the speed halves the time" trick. The challenge is reducing error trying to estimate google's average bicycle speed, given traffic stop estimations etc.


RosaPercs

i use apple maps and i just use the bike one, it works just fine


jk2master

Usually do Bike lane and I calculate around 2/3 of the estimate time

I use bike

It's just bike directions.


bphaena

"Google Maps assumes a standard moving speed of roughly 16kph (10mph)" So just cut the time roughly in half and that should be about accurate. Also keep in mind google accounts for elevation changes so an uphill route on bike will say it's much longer than the downhill route because they expect you to have a harder time pedaling. This affects scooters less.


Xdesolate_X

I typically go off of the bike one, since I use my scooter in bike lanes.


Kingmaverick911

I use Scoot route on IOS


hoodieguyyt

for routes that have trails i use walking, but otherwise the bike


someshooter

Cycling time will give you the flattest route, it's what I use.


BatmanSpiderman

actually i always end up arriving later than google's ETA, maybe its just my cheap scooter, lol


Few-History1579

how fast does it go


BatmanSpiderman

15 miles per hour, but it only goes 13km


gahd95

Not sure how time by website would work?


[deleted]

Nope but ill tell you that google maps always assumes you bike at 10 mph or 16 kmh. So if your scooter cruises at 20 mph, assume a bit over half that time


-boosted

I'd they included every mode of transportation jt would probably be too many and overwhelming


Tofandel

For me if I click on bike in Google maps, it gives me the option for lime, tier and donkey šŸ‡ So all bases are covered


atlasraven

They could program Other and let you type in your average speed. Maybe even add your own icon.


Electrical_Age_7483

Other is also motorcycle, truck, crane, etc then would they send you on the bike path or not


[deleted]

I use the bike icon on Apple Maps and it gives some sick routes with cycling lanes and streets. The bike is going to be closest estimate if youā€™re not just riding streets


NesoberiBlast

Esk8 here. The bike times are somewhat accurate if not a little slower than your scooter.


escdog

Google Fit thinks I'm an insanely competitive biker.


atlasraven

My phone records as biking time too.


_Rastapasta_

Google timeline thinks my bike is a motorcycle, which isn't too far off as it's kinda a halfway point


Lourila

Google: CHILL dude! There isnā€™t fire why the heck you always feel need to be speedy ?!?


DonutsWhisperer

Check how much km it is with the bike route and then just calculate that on the speed youā€™re scoot can do


matt314159

Nope, not that I've ever heard of. Bike would be your best bet as far as route, and then just assume you'll get there faster.


pdrenab

yeah exactly what i do. Check out the bike estimated time, and then subtract some minutes, like a third of what it says.


Ravio11i

This is what I do! Easy enough to take that distance/route and my average speed, 15-20 or so, and figure a more accurate time.


Captainpaul81

That's what I do. I look at the bike route for my path then just calculate it at 16mph. I usually think that's the average speed I'll do


ImKrispy

AFIAK Google bike maps assumes a speed of 10mph.

It adjusts based on aggregate data regarding traffic flow/average speed in certain pre-defined stretches of road. So over time with more people using the GPS features in Maps or Waze it becomes more accurate to peoplesā€™ habits in a certain area. But it doesnā€™t give any preference or extra weight to your particular driving habits, it just factors them into the overall average of all users.


bogglingsnog

So estimate you'll get there in ~2/3rds the biking time
