I have to say, SIP in Germany are totally maniacal about pushing the edge with creating amazing products for our wacky Italian put puts. This has got to be the best thing they've made so far, or at least the most broadly useful.
(I would put a picture of the speedo in here, but SIP don't want anyone to use their pictures)
As those of us who have 70's Vespas (and any year Italian scooter) know, the Italian speedometers leave a lot to be desired. They mostly don't work. And when they do work, the needle position is more to be used as a general guide to your approximate speed. Coupled with the noise from the motor, my speedo's needle usually indicates "going slow", "going a bit faster", and "that's about all she's got"... rather than telling me the exact MPH at any given moment.
Well,friends, that era is pretty much over. This thing has got a digital speedometer, trip meter, driving time, average speed... and what is really really cool... an integrated cylinder head temp gauge AND a tachometer. Oh Nelly! The complete package!
The only down side I see is that it needs 12v power to operate. So you need to have a P motor in your jalopy , or figure out some other power source.
This is so cool. I need to figure out what I can mount this puppy on...
