I’m wanting something to measure forward speed , I can’t see any reason why one of these won’t do my job .

Had a speedo on a quad bike pack up once and a replacement was serious money so I bought a bike gps computer and mounted that on the quad, worked very wellI’m wanting something to measure forward speed , I can’t see any reason why one of these won’t do my job .View attachment 748458
On a pushbike?
I'd go for a GPS type.
Got a smartphone?
You can get a speedometer app
We’ve used a speedo AP on an iPhone to do the same thing, worked pretty well.It’s to go on a Honda bike for spreading small seeds with a slug pellet spreader .

Worth a pop for £8. I would assume it works with a wheel magnet, which could make mounting it a pita. You would need to program it for wheel size. GPS on a smartphone is far easier if you don’t mind mounting that in a potentially dirty place. Your iPhone X has a very clear screen.I’m wanting something to measure forward speed , I can’t see any reason why one of these won’t do my job .View attachment 748458

We used a kidsbike frontfork. Mounted a bike speed reader. The smaller the wheel the more accurate the speedreading. Make a mount to quickly attach and detach the little bikewheel and you're done.
Ours is mounted to a an old deutz. So not the same as a quadbike. Maybe make something to mount it on the towbar of the bike. Will take a photo of it when i'm out thereHave you any photos please ?
