Why Do People Think Speedometers Are A Good Idea? | Motorized Bicycle How-To 

The importance of knowing how fast you are going will help you avoid getting a costly speeding ticket.

I ordered this speedometer off of the website about two weeks ago. Arrived last week. So, the one I recieved is rectangular, not round... I know that sounds petty, but I waited almost two months for the website to restock so I could have a ROUND SPEEDOMETER. So, not only is it rectangular instead of circular, it's also set up for km/h and the odo/trip also only record in kilometers... I live in the USA and have no need for km/h or kilometers in general. The unit also came without any washers to install, so, I went to ACE and dropped $0.60 on a pair. Guess what? The thing won't fit between the hub and fork with washers, so, I had to install it without them. Once all that was done and I took it for a ride, i found it was completely inaccurate. It's accurate up until 15mph/25kmh, after that it says I'm going way faster than I really am. Says I'm going 40+mph/over 60 km/h when I'm really barely going 30mph. My bike has 26inch wheels, which on the website, says it's compatible with. Overall I'm really dissapointed.

You said on R side ,towards end of video show installing on left, they can be installed on springer forks but you will need to put a spacer on opposite side so wheel alignment is straight, you may need to replace axle with a longer one so there is plenty of thread to tighten wheel.👍

I have a speedometer on my Springer Fork and it works great

Bonus points for correct use of a clip from /The Matrix/

"Wiff a speedometer"...

Why does this video say specifically to install inn the right side of the fork, emphasize how important it is to install on the correct side, and then proceed to install it on the left side?

This will work with bikes with springer forks. You have to put two washers on the inside of the speedometer gear wheel

I had something similar on my bike 38 yrs ago

A speedometer assists me in the break-in and general running of my 2 stroke bike . The second thing that helps the most in me infred temperature gauge. Warming up the engine to operating temperature makes the engine so much happier. It works best for setting the high speed jet. To hot,to lean, not hot enough, rich. I run a rich 2 stroke. some two stroke engines on bikes needle in , lean, needle out rich.

I just bought the same mechanical speedometer just today it works great

I wanted to ask whether I can use this on a regular bike that does not have a motor? I just like the look and how easy it is to install.

Just get a digital speedometer for regular bicycles instead, just a sensor attached to fork and a magnet that goes on your wheel. Very simple and universal

We want to end the year right by making videos regularly that would help you guys! Let us know in the comments down below with the number 1 thing you need help with the most when it comes to motorized bicycles. Your comment might help us for future episodes. Thanks for watching! :)

You said it must be installed on the right side, but you are installing on the left as you sit on the bike???? Wouldn't the right fork be on the right side as you are sitting on the bike??? not looking straight at it?

Can I buy one in MPH just like this? Why is it out of stock. Can’t find the product on website.

My got a left and right but it help me a lot tuck me all day the washer was missing but I got some. Note to show me how to do it and ever helpfully thank you for showing how to do it happy new year to u

but wouldn't you have to calibrate it? i mean kph depends on rpm and wheel size ? unless they are already calibrated for certain wheel size

How you adjust the speedometer for different wheel sizes?

that Matrix part was awesome lol

Can you adjust that speedometer? Bike tyre sizes differ dramatically. is there a certain tyre diameter it is for?

How do we know the size of wheel?

My 66cc skyhawk goes past the 60kmh mark ,the limit here for cars is 50 and I pass them all the time , stock except for expansion chamber and waterproof cdi from bikeberry and no air filter

How come you placed the speedometer attachment on the left side?

I use old rubber tubing under bracket and between plastic nut "Both sides" to cut down on vibration

Can you make a video showing what is needed to install a single speed rear wheel on the gas tank frame you sell? I bought one from you guys and the dropouts are way too wide even though you mark it for a single speed on your website. Also nobody ever responds to my emails about the problem and when I called they didn't know what I was talking about.

Very helpful video. I just have one concern, I have all mag wheels. Can this work with them? Only five fixed spokes, actually the one you guys sell

I put this on my 27" motorized bike and it reads too fast for my actual speed. And the odometer reads a half mile as a mile. Or something like that. Is there an adjustment on this to fix it???

does it work with every tire-size?

thanks man

I just got one of these speedometer and the Gear Drive that connects to the wheel just melted after 4 miles ended up buying a second one it done the same thing where do I get a new replacement Gear Drive senior video a hundred times I've done the exact same thing you did

Can i put this one my wheel when i have disc brakes

The Speedometer.. can fit both sides left or right..

dear bikeberry, the speedometer can be installed in the left or right side of the axle of the front tire. I think you Guys are informative, good work. keep it up!

Could this be adapted to left side? I see the fork piece has an "R" and "L" side.

Geniuses don't even realize that the plastic bit at the bottom has a cap on one side and no cap on the other. Ever wonder what that cap is for? Yeah, Well right there embossed on the plastic it says it. R and L. That's right... the unit can be used on BOTH SIDES. You simply have to remove the cap from the proper side and put it on the other side that is not in use, then install. I am dumbfounded the people selling this product didn't know that. It's right there on the video... at 1:06. L (partially under his thumb) and R. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-y1cjUIk3vos.html ... pfft. The Pros.

If it could be installed in front of and below the handlebars, it could be illuminated by a common bike light at night.

Question, were can I get one that says mph

Do you sell them in Km/h instead of mph?

I want to install a disk break on mu bike is it a good idea or na

This does look more official but you could also use a bike computer since it is just a bike with a engine on it.

hey bro nice video i subrscribed. by any chance could you tell me the diameter of the part that goes to the fork? i really want to buy it but i dont know if it will fit my fork.. or anyone who has this product or similar, what's the diameter of the grey plastic part that goes on the fork? pleaseee

Hi . help me to pay for the material how much l m in benin l want that..

What's that flange/bracket you've got on the intake to that engine? I've got the same 49cc 4stroke engine and I've been wanting to upgrade the carb, although I have issues with clearance :(

what does bikeberry have for 2 stroke engines that don't fit the traditional way and i need to install the engine on the rear wheel.. like rear wheel engine mount / bracket?

What size bikes does the speedometer work on?

it would be nice if you can get fuel gage on the gs cap

So what do I do if I have a Springer front end? I wanted a better ride quality for something motorized..

Good that can help me out a lot I know how fast I'm going so I can go to work and back to my dorm room lol

It didnt tighten enough and the spoke part isnt catching any tips?

"place on right side of tire" *places it on left side* WTF Bike Berry

I have a springer fork and my speedometer works fine.

Just pick one of those up is the front wheel supposed to be a certain type I've got a beach cruiser but it's got the skinny Forks for some reason the mechanism slides over into the rest of the wheel

Those cheap mechanical speedometers don't last though. I got one of those $15 mechanical speedometers & broke after a little over 50 miles. You might be better off with a digital spedometer or using your smartphone with a speedometer app.That way you can switch between miles per hour to kilometers per hour & way more accurate to.

I'm a mechanic and I dont like people telling me this and this wont work, as if it is impossible to change it with enough effort and thought I got two hands and a functioning brain, I will make it work. Just say you are not willing to make that effort with springer forks

dont for get about fuel gages for the tanks or digital fuel gages

In video it shows mph as the measurement of speed but your aite shows kmh is there a way i can fix mine from kmh to mph

i use s bike computer tried one of these snd the gears stripped out in a week dont seem to be able to hold up to the speeds ate motorized. bikes can maintain

Right on the bike or in front?

How do you install a digital speedometer that I got from bikeberry

would this work for a pocket bike?

Why won’t it work with springer forks?

Well can you actually sell them in mph cause, pretty much all of us live in us, and you only sell them in kmh

Provided that all the wheels in the universe have one diameter.

I have one just like that,,,, not accurate shows me going 55mph when I’m actually going 25,,,,

could this work with a chopper fork?

I guess i should buy one

I have an electric bike with 20" fat tires would it be accurate

Right or left ?

willa speedometer work on a bicycle with a quick release front tire

the pics on bikeberry show kmh not mph...

Can I use a 26 inch speedometer on a 24 inch bike?

if only if you guys can make a cheaper shift kit

why is it that yours says MPH and on the website its kph

Sadly bikeberry doesn't have this exact speedometer was trying to get the one in mph not kmh

So it works from compressed air from the wheel moving

Which engine kit works best for your BBR Ready Frame Bikes?

Is it accurate

0:54 - that is not removing the front tire.

Do they still sell this speedometer in mph

I bought a sunlite speedometer brand new installed it right and nothing happens I'm not sure if it's broke or what's going on please help

What about night ride light

Everyfing I like how he says it

Can you mount this on the front wheel?

"Wiff a speedometer..." lol

but can i atach this to my go cart? the wheels are 10"

I have a 28" wheel would it fit

i prefer a digital bike speedometer had one of these pladtic ones it quit working in about a week the plastic gears cant handle the high speeds the get to hot snd strip out

WOOHOOO!

Greetings from Russia

Where can I get one that's in kilometers?

What is the price of a speedometer
