S bike mode for Android

S Bike mode is a communication management tool by Samsung R&D Institute India Noida that helps two-wheeler motorists stay focused on the road. It is designed to filter calls and restrict phone usage while riding, reducing distractions without completely isolating the rider.

When activated, the app automatically answers all incoming calls with a pre-recorded message in your selected language. The caller is prompted to press 1 only if the matter is urgent. If they do, you receive an alert with a distinctive ringtone engineered to be heard even in noisy traffic. All other non-urgent calls are silently handled, so you are not bothered by spam or casual calls during your ride.

The app also includes a Motion lock safety feature. This prevents you from unlocking and using your phone unless you have come to a complete stop. It enforces a strict no-phone policy while the vehicle is moving, only allowing interaction when it is safe to do so. Additionally, the Smart reply feature lets you share your live estimated arrival time with select contacts. When they call, they receive an automatic text message with your journey time, cutting down on repeated check-in calls. The app also tracks your rides and rewards consistent use with badges.
