I own a 2012 Icebear 300cc.. Two weeks ago when I took it out for spin.. it said i was going 0 MPH.. and the distance doesnt work either. Its a digital instrument panel.. I check for loose connections but didnt see any.. Maybe i am messing something

It sounds like a wire came loose on the instrument panel. I am only guessing, but if the speed cable is tight with I would check the wires to see if one is loose..

We have an ice bear dealer that posts here, Jim from rapid repair hopefully he will come around and give you a suggestion.

Most use a cabled speedo but the digital bicycles use inductive magnets instead of a mechanical cable . It is very common for wires to get loose like a ground wire or have a short . Do they other gauges work ? Check to see if it has a fuse as my Echarm has 3 fuses where most only have one . Do you have a meter or continuity tester ? If not Harbor Freight has them for little money

I'm not sure about yours, but mine has a separate connector at the dash for the speedo wire. Follow the wire up from the speedo puck at the wheel up the fork tubes and check for broken wire. I haven't had the puck on mine apart yet, but the magnetic pick up is in it. It may be a broken gear, dislodged magnet, ect..

If the speedo still lights up, the fuse is likely OK...if the rest of the dash lights work, ditto for the ground. (Having said that, checking both couldn't hurt.) I'm adding to the consensus: follow the wire to the speed sensor...either the sensor itself is bad or (more likely) the wire has come loose. I do not know if the sensor has to be grounded, though I suspect someone here does. PS--Nice Cherokee...it looks darn near identical to mine!  |
