Title: electric speedometers??
Post by: electro Buell on December 26, 2008, 01:31:11 AM

Hey all,  I was just wondering what everyone is doing for a speedometer on a conversion that the original was driven off the ICE tranny?   Is there anything out there that is affordable?   thanks in advance,  electro Buell

There are a few options, but depends on what hardware you have, is this a conversion project you are doing? if so you shud do a post on it.
Some motor controllers have speed sensors builty into them, and if you arent running a gearbox, you could convert the motor rpm to bike speed. Or if you have an abs sensor you could get speed from that as well.
