motoscope mini

The motoscope mini is a highly compact digital instrument for motorcycles.

The LED display motogadget created for the motoscope mini is unique in the instrument realm. 251 ultra bright LEDs provide for an essentially rimless and extremely readable display surface which can entirely be used for the display of readings. This intricate and innovative technology combines a maximum of display surface with minimal casing dimensions.

The unadorned and elegant design of the motoscope mini and its high class appearance fits every bike, trike or four-wheel vehicle. Exposed mounting can reinforce style and looks, but it might just as well be installed more discretely and 'clean' - with the mini, everything is possible!

Casing

The high-quality aluminum casing is machined from solid metal and its surface is black anodized. The mirror polished variant has its own appeal. Electronics come completely molded-in and are immune to weather, water, dust and vibrations.

Display and features

The innovative, ultra-bright 251-LED dot matrix shows the engine speed in a scalable horizontal bar-graph and all other features as easily readable numeric values. With the push of a button, the engine speed can be displayed as numerical value (rpm) as well.

For optimal readability in dark, sunlight and dawn conditions, the LED luminosity varies automatically.

Specific engine speed thresholds can be programmed for the display to show the maximum permissible engine speed ('red zone') or a gear shift light with all LEDs pulsating simultaneously.

The kicker: The display of the motoscope mini not only displays numeric values from left to right but from top to bottom as well. Thus, the instrument may also be mounted vertically!

Operation

You can toggle between the different information on the LED display by operating the provided menu push-button or e.g. the headlight flasher push-button on the handle bar.

By default, the display shows the speed value. Other values may be displayed via push-button operation if needed. A feature for automatically switching back to the speed value after a predetermined time or leaving the manually chosen value on the display is provided.

Default settings or recorded values are of course stored even with the power supply switched off.

Mounting

Due to its compact dimensions, the motoscope mini is easily mounted just about anywhere on any vehicle. Single mount on your triple clamp or right onto the handle bar, embedded into already present instrument panels, into the tank or FBE - this instrument is applicable anywhere.

Motogadget offers universal mounts as well as brand specific solutions. Please refer to the 'motoscope mini' section for additional details.

Connection and sensors

Hassle-free wiring and the detailed installation and operating instructions enables even users without any previous experience in handling the vehicles electrical system to connect this instrument.

The supplied speedometer sensor in stainless steel is very small (M5/25 mm). The 1.5m connector cable easily connects it to the front or back wheel. This permits easy conversions of originally mechanical speedometer drives.

The motoscope mini is compatible with various original speedometer sensors (reed contact and proximity sensors) used by motorbike manufacturers. In these cases, only the terminals have to be connected while the installation of mechanical sensors will be completely obsolete.

An intelligent 'teaching' function provides for easy speedometer calibration - even in cases of vehicles with sensors at the gear box.

To make the installation of the motoscope mini easier on newer (2004 and up) Harley-Davidson models with CAN Bus technology look at the motogadget m-Can adapter.

To connect the motoscope mini to one of the newer Triumph Twin or Triple models with CAN Bus technology check out the m.TRI from motogadget in the m.gadget section. Choose your model and year.
