Title: Odometer accumalating kilometers instead of miles
Post by: Lammy1000 on April 30, 2010, 05:30:50 PM

People 150 is accumalating kilometers instead of miles on the odometer.  I am not sure if the speed indicator is correct, but I believe it is.  Anyone know which part, such as a speedometer cable needs replacement or does the whole display need replacement?  Thanks.

The displat indicates kilometers, so I will simply convert to miles as needed 8)

Originally thought the display was labeled in miles, but kilos were being accumalated.

Hey, Lammy.  I don't know if your scooter instruments are anything like my Xciting 500 but with mine, it can be switched to either miles or kilometers by pushing a "mode" button on the side of the instruments.  After I've had the battery disconnected, it always goes back to kilometers and I have to switch it again.

I don't know if your new 150 is the same as my '05 150, but I have an analogue odometer that reads in kilometers.  My speedometer is optimistic.  I have not checked it with a gps but when I ride by a permanent radar at a nearby school, it clocks me at 29 mph when my speedometer says I am going 35 mph.
