VDO Handlebar Start Stop Speedometer Technology Review

CYCLING STATS W/ OPTIONAL CADENCE: M3.1 sports a modular design, with an easy to add on cadence transmitter kit, sold separately. The basic model covers speed, trip distance, ride time, time, total ride time, total distance, average speed, max speed, speed comparison, trip section-time, a second distance, and temperature. M3.1 has a trip section counter to block out certain parts of the ride from stats and an independent trip distance counter to start counting from a preset value. RIDER-FRIENDLY & DURABLE: The well laid out, intuitive menu, is easy for bikers to use even while cycling. Easily control all the features with just two buttons. Urban city riders and mountain bikers will equally appreciate the splash-proof body that is protected from drizzles and splashes from rain or wet, muddy trails. M3.1 uses digital wireless transmission for accurate speed tracking and optional cadence tracking, saving you the hassle of running extensive wiring around your bike. PROMINENT BACKLIGHT DISPLAY: A smart digital screen has a clear display structure that will show two data readings at all the time. The convenient backlight will come in handy during night rides or early morning rides. Large letter size allows easy scanning by bikers even when they are riding, without losing focus on the track. The default factory setting has English as the language. Users can easily select from available language choices. HANDLEBAR OR STEM MOUNTING: The compact, low-profile computer can be easily mounted on the bicycle stem or handlebar using a mounting bracket and the cable ties. Power magnet for speed monitoring can be easily clipped on to the spoke. Mount the transmitter using the rubber pad and cable ties. Twist the transmitter towards the power magnet for the best proximity. AUTO START-STOP & OTHER FEATURES: The auto-stop feature turns off tracking when stopped at a signal or rest stop. Auto-start feature senses simple motions like handlebar movement to get up from sleep mode and start working once you restart riding. This auto start-stop feature helps with prolonging the battery life. M3.1 is packed with features such as a low battery indicator, data storage capability, tracking facility for a second bike, and a wheel size configuration from a custom tire list.
