How RiderSOS ID tags work

RiderSOS ID products are built to do one thing well: make the right rider information easy to reach when it matters. Each product uses NFC, QR, or both to open a RiderSOS page linked to the rider's profile. No app is needed for the person scanning it.

What the tags actually do

When a compatible phone taps the tag, or a camera scans the QR code, the phone opens the linked RiderSOS page. That page can show emergency details, contact guidance, or next steps depending on the product and profile attached.

The aim is practical access, not clutter. A responder or finder gets the information they need quickly, without needing to install anything first.

Helmet tag, key tag and emergency card

The helmet tag is designed to stay with the helmet you ride in. The key tag gives another access point on the keys you are most likely carrying. The emergency card gives you a wallet or jacket-pocket backup.

Used together, they give multiple points of access around the rider rather than relying on a single item being found first.

  • Helmet tag: mounted where it stays with your riding helmet.
  • Key tag: attached to your everyday rider keys.
  • Emergency card: kept in a wallet, jacket, or bike document pouch.

What someone sees after scanning

The linked RiderSOS page is designed to be simple and mobile-friendly. Depending on your setup, it can show emergency contacts, medical notes you choose to share, and clear instructions for what to do next.

RiderSOS is built to support emergency access and secure contact. It does not replace emergency services, and it does not guarantee a specific outcome.

No app needed for access

That matters because in a real roadside situation, the process needs to be obvious. Most modern phones can read NFC tags or scan QR codes straight from the camera or built-in system tools.

Riders set the profile up once, then the tag simply points to the right information when it is tapped or scanned.
