GPS Digital Speedometer MALOSSI Rapid Sense System – Universal 12V – 0–360 km/h
Experience speed, measure performance and keep all your essential vehicle data in view! The MALOSSI Rapid Sense System GPS brings modern measuring technology to a compact, sporty digital instrument. Whether you're riding a customised classic Vespa, a powerful automatic scooter or a purpose-built racing machine, this GPS speedometer transforms a simple speed display into a versatile instrument for monitoring and analysing your riding data.
The Rapid Sense System determines speed using an integrated GPS system and displays it on a clear digital screen. Additional functions include an odometer, two trip meters, a maximum speed display, a clock and a voltmeter. Particularly interesting for performance-oriented riders are the integrated testing functions for acceleration, speed and distance.
GPS-Based Speed Measurement
Unlike a conventional mechanical speedometer, the MALOSSI Rapid Sense System determines speed using received GPS satellite signals. This eliminates the need for a mechanical speedometer drive at the wheel.
The large digital speed reading takes centre stage on the display. The measurement unit can be switched between km/h and mph, with a display range of 0 to 360 km/h or 0 to 225 mph.
An integrated GPS status symbol provides information about satellite reception. A coloured indicator light also shows the quality of the GPS signal:
- Green: strong GPS signal
- Yellow: weak GPS signal
- Red: no GPS signal
GPS measurement requires adequate satellite reception. In tunnels, underground car parks or areas surrounded by large obstacles, the signal may be restricted or temporarily unavailable.
Measure Performance Instead of Guessing
How quickly does your scooter accelerate? What speed does it reach over a defined distance? And what is its actual recorded top speed? The integrated testing functions of the Rapid Sense System allow you to answer these questions using your own measured results.
The instrument offers several measurement programmes:
- Speed test with an individually adjustable target speed, for example from 0 to 100 km/h
- Distance test over a defined distance
- Maximum speed test to record the highest speed achieved
Once the test has been prepared, measurement begins when the vehicle starts moving. Target speed and distance tests end automatically as soon as the selected value is reached.
These measurements can be particularly useful when fine-tuning a variator, transmission or engine components, helping you assess modifications under comparable test conditions. The instrument measures vehicle performance data and does not replace an engine dynamometer.
Important: According to Malossi, all performance tests must be carried out exclusively on closed tracks that are not accessible to the public. Never perform acceleration or top speed tests on public roads.
More Than a Speedometer – All Your Essential Information at a Glance
The MALOSSI Rapid Sense System combines several digital instruments in a single compact housing.
- Digital speedometer with GPS signal reception
- Total odometer with a display range of up to 99,999 km
- Two independently resettable trip meters A and B, each displaying up to 9,999.9 km
- Maximum recorded speed display with manual reset
- Digital clock with selectable 12-hour or 24-hour format
- Voltmeter for monitoring the electrical system voltage from 8.0 to 18.0 V
- Adjustable warning function when a preset speed is exceeded
- Adjustable warning thresholds for low and high voltage
When the UTC function is activated, the clock can be synchronised using the GPS signal. The time zone can be adjusted according to the location of use.
The integrated voltmeter allows you to monitor the vehicle's electrical system voltage. This is particularly useful for vehicles with additional electrical equipment or individually configured electrical systems.
Sporty Display with Adjustable Backlighting
The slim black housing emphasises the instrument's sporty, technical appearance. The generously sized LCD screen displays speed in particularly large digits. Additional display areas underneath provide information about mileage, time and other operating data.
Two control buttons marked SEL and ADJ are positioned on the left side of the housing. These allow you to switch between displays, reset measured values and change settings.
A small indicator light provides information about GPS reception and can also serve as a warning indicator. The red MALOSSI lettering on the front adds a subtle sporting touch.
The display backlight can be adjusted to five brightness levels, allowing readability to be adapted to different lighting conditions.

Universal Application and Straightforward Mounting
The MALOSSI Rapid Sense System is designed for use on vehicles with a suitable 12 V DC electrical supply. Thanks to GPS-based speed measurement, the instrument does not require a connection to a mechanical speedometer drive or wheel speed sensor.
Its compact dimensions allow flexible positioning, for example around the handlebars or on a suitable surface in the cockpit. The instrument is secured using the supplied two-piece hook-and-loop fastening system.
Before attaching the fastener, the mounting surface must be thoroughly cleaned to remove grease, dust and moisture. The fastening elements should then be pressed firmly into place.
Electrical connection is made via three wires according to the Malossi installation instructions:
- Red: positive terminal of the 12 V battery
- Brown: ignition-switched positive supply
- Black: ground or battery negative
Installation note: The instrument requires a suitable 12 V DC power supply. Universal application does not mean unrestricted plug-and-play compatibility with every vehicle. The power supply, mounting position, wiring and secure attachment must be checked before installation.
Scope of Delivery
- 1 × MALOSSI Rapid Sense System GPS digital instrument
- 1 × two-piece hook-and-loop fastening system
Important Information About Use
The GPS Rapid Sense System is an additional electronic measuring instrument. Whether it may be used as the sole speedometer on a particular vehicle on public roads depends on the applicable approval regulations and the specific installation. The available manufacturer documentation does not establish the necessary road-use approval.
The GPS display depends on satellite reception. The manufacturer states that the normal speed display becomes available only above 5 km/h.
For riders who want to do more than simply feel their vehicle's performance, the MALOSSI Rapid Sense System GPS is an exciting addition. Compact, versatile and packed with genuine racing character, it combines digital speed measurement, vehicle monitoring and sporty testing functions in one instrument.
