This sensor allows our SIP Speedometer/Rev-counter to display your road speed with satellite technology. Reliably and exactly with Global Positioning Satellites (GPS).
Determining the actual road speed of vintage scooters is more a question of faith than judgement as a reliable estimate with data provided by accurate measuring instruments was impossible, up till now. Even with the most accurate of speedometers, factors such as tyre-circumference and unreliable speedometer worm drives and cables prevent this. More modern systems, such as our SIP Speedometer/Rev-counter, enable the speed to be determined with the help of magnetic sensors. This solution however still contains the problem of variations in the tyres circumference.
A straightforward and very exact alternative is now available from KOSO, in the form of a GPS speed sensor for the SIP Speedometer. This device allows the route travelled on the scooter to be mapped, recorded and analysed with the help of satellites in orbit around the Earth. It contains absolutely no moving parts that can fail or wear. The state of the art method to enable travel at the correct speed.
The set includes a GPS sensor, a converter to interpret the signal for the speedometer display and all fixings etc. The GPS sensor itself is 40x50x14mm in size and requires careful mounting to ensure constant reception of the signals from the satellites above.
