Default where to get speedometer??
Hi all,

I have a 2014 kandi 150cc spyder that I rebuilt. I was doing some searching and found what I believe is a speedo that will fit in my dash. Here is a pic:


However I cannot seem to find it. The page is here: http://wholesaleatv.com/product/kinroad-150-falcon/

Personally I would go with the trail tech. Those speedo's for the buggies are not that accurate.

I agree that the trail tech is a great product. I was thinking having something that fit in the dash nicely would be cool and not be that expensive. It is a buggy so perfect accuracy is not necessary. Can always use my phone for a gps speedo.

I guess one of those cheap bicycle computers could work also.....

The trail tech other than speed also keeps millage, hours,rpm as well as a temp gauge option.

It is probably for a speedometer. There should be a pickup on the axle, usually black in color with 3 set screws.

So is the magnet and pickup coil usually mounted on a rear tire? I am ordering my new Trail Master 150 tomorrow and thinking of adding this to the dash. I can custom make about anything I need in my shop.

Well I ordered one so I will be the tester, I guess. Thinking why can't I just mount the magnet on the rear axle and mount the pickup close by?

The trailmaster should come with a speedo.
