Bikevee GPS Bike Computer — 2.4" Wireless Cyclometer, IPX7
Product description
Built-in GPS ride tracking: The unit acquires satellite signals to display current speed, average speed, maximum speed, trip distance, trip time and total mileage without needing a wheel sensor or spoke magnet.
Altitude and climbing information: The computer shows outside temperature, current altitude, grade/gradient and accumulated ascent so riders can monitor climbs and changing terrain while out on a route.
Clear 2.4" display and visibility features: A 2.4-inch LCD presents essential ride metrics in a large, easy-to-read layout. An automatic backlight boosts legibility when lighting conditions change, and units can be set to distance in miles or kilometers with matching elevation units.
Mounting and operation: The device attaches to bars with a rubber-band style mount and comes with cushioned spacers to fit different handlebar diameters; no wiring is required. Controls are simple and menu-driven for quick setup and in-ride adjustments. Auto start/stop begins logging when you move and pauses when you stop; after seven minutes of inactivity it enters a sleep mode to conserve power.
Power, protection and languages: A built-in 650mAh rechargeable battery offers up to about 28 hours of use on a charge. The housing is weather-resistant to an IPX7 rating for rain and splashes. The interface supports eight languages: English, German, Chinese, Polish, French, Korean, Spanish and Italian.

Stopped working soon after first use
The device powered on when unwrapped for my son’s birthday, but later it would not turn on at all. We tried charging and different attempts but nothing. Very disappointed that it failed and the return window closed before resolving it.

Far easier than wired speedometers
I previously used wired speedometers with wheel magnets and this is much simpler. Clip it to the bars and you get a larger screen plus altitude and time readouts. Very pleased with the switch to GPS.

Clean, uncomplicated and dependable
I really like how straightforward this is. Quick to set up, easy to operate, no wiring or magnets, and the display is easy to read. It fits well on my recumbent trike.

Does what I need — very pleased
I’d used more feature-packed computers before, but this covers the essentials I want now. Quick to mount, clear in sunlight, shows speed, distance, elevation and time. Highly recommend for casual riders.

Accurate and lights up at night
Accurate GPS speed and built-in odometer features are all there. I fitted it to a small minibike and it looks and performs well; the backlight is useful for evening rides and it keeps top speed and trip data.

Perfect for a spare bike around town
I use this on a second bike for short urban trips and it covers the basics I need: time, distance, speed, total distance and outside temperature. Battery life has been impressive and its readings match my main cycling unit. It sometimes takes a few seconds to get satellite time when first turned on, but that’s fine.

Not designed for motorcycles
Bought hoping to use on my bike but the max speed reading caps at 60 mph. The mount is a bit lightweight and would likely break in a crash. It includes cushioned spacers for different bar sizes; great for mountain bikes but not ideal for motorcycles.

Fast GPS lock and easy installation
I replaced an older wireless model and this gets a satellite fix quickly with no fiddly setup. Time and speed are accurate and the unit is simple to use. Better performance for the money and I like it.

Solid basic computer with standout battery life
After several mountain rides and nearly seven hours logged, it’s proved reliable. It finds GPS fast, shows current/average/max speed, elevation and ride time, and the mount held up through rough terrain. It lacks advanced features like phone pairing or maps, but for basic GPS tracking and exceptional battery life it’s a great everyday unit.

Surprised by how well it performs
I wasn’t expecting this little unit to work so smoothly. Setup and mounting took minutes, and the rubber-band mount stayed secure even on rough tracks. GPS locked quickly, the readout is big and clear, and the elevation shows correctly when I use miles. Only wish: an option for a 12-hour clock. Otherwise I really like it.
