SIP 2.0 Speedometer Tachometer for Vespa 50 Special Elestart 50000320

Since its introduction in 2010, the SIP tachometer has revolutionized the traditional scooter speedometer market. Features that previously required the inclusion of additional instrumentation have now been integrated into its design with maximum understatement. Several years and countless customer requests have culminated in us reuniting with the people at KOSO to develop an update to our first-generation SIP tachometer that we can be truly proud of: the SIP tachometer/speedometer 2.0!

Its external appearance remains strikingly similar to that of the original, and its additional functions are virtually invisible when not in use. The speedometer dial design is also largely identical to that of the original Italian one with a kilometer scale, along with the overall dimensions of the unit. These speedometers are available with both black and white colored numerical faces. Additionally, the version available for the old-school Vespa VBB models can also be ordered in beige/white, providing an authentic, sun-bleached look. Installation couldn't be simpler and requires no special knowledge. It can measure speed with the conventional speedometer cable and drivetrain or, alternatively, with the electronic wheel speed sensor kit, available separately. The speedometer function can no longer be interrupted by worms or defective speedometer drive cables, and its accuracy has also been improved. The rpm value is determined by its connection to the light signal provided by the wiring harness.

All data recorded by the device is saved for future reference in an internal storage structure. The unit operates on 12V AC/DC and does not require a battery in the scooter's electrical system. It is also fully compatible with Parmakit Performance SIP Performance/Vespatronic ignition systems. Using the SIP PERFORMANCE Ignition by VAPE DC version with the SIP speedometer requires a KOSO Rev Signal Filter. Instead of the Rev Signal Filter, you can also connect the brown wire from the SIP speedometer to the white CDI wire of the SIP /VAPE CDI with an extra cable! The speedometer setting using the DC version is 1 and the AC version is 6.

To adjust and scroll through the functions on the electronic display, a small button is included, which can be easily and discreetly positioned under the scooter's existing light switch. A clever gimmick: during the ignition sequence, the speedometer unit performs a complete functional check, similar to today's high-tech GP racing machines.

New in version 2.0 is the choice between an analog speedometer or tachometer. The speedometer needle can be used to display speed or rpm. On longer trips, you can also record the total travel time and average speeds for both daily stages and the entire tour, which can be set individually. The total number of kilometers traveled, recorded by your original speedometer, can also be transferred to the displayed km value. In combination with the SIP rapid-flow fuel tap, with fuel reserve sensor, all Vespa models can now benefit from a fuel level warning function. To indicate the backflow level in the fuel tank, "FUEL" starts flashing on the electronic display. In addition, the voltage regulation of the entire electrical system is also improved.

The SIP speedometer/tachometer, designed for Vespa smallframe models, has an analog dial with speed readings up to 80. These speedometers are intended for use on Vespa V 50/PK models, which rarely reach higher speeds or engine rpm. Now, finally, we can provide a high-tech alternative to the more basic reproduction speedometers currently available.

Warning: Use spark plugs and resistor caps with interference suppression.

Conclusion: The first high-end cockpit instrument for classic Vespa models, it successfully combines a speedometer and tachometer in a single, almost completely original-looking component. Whether you're a racer, rally enthusiast, tourer, or urban cowboy, it offers benefits for everyone!
