    Why is no speed displayed on my VDO M5 Bicycle Accessories?
    • K
      Kathy MartinezAug 2, 2025
      If your VDO Bicycle Accessories computer isn't displaying speed, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the distance from the sensor to the magnet isn't too great, and that the magnet is correctly aligned with the sensor. Next, verify the computer is properly clicked into the handlebar bracket. Also, check that the wheel circumference is correctly set and not set to zero. Finally, the transmitter battery might be dead, so try replacing it.
