the problem is that the spedometer youre using is a bike spedometer. trust me i know because i own that exact same BIKE SPEDOMETER, i have it on my bike. try using an analog spedometer if possible.
If you put the magnet up to the sensor by your ear, you can hear a click signifying a mechanical system inside. If you think about it, as the sensor goes by so fast repeatedly the mechanical component in the sensor does not have enough time to flip back and forth.
I planning the same thing. I'm afraid also, that RPM for sensor is not good enough. There is 2 ways to solve this - either the sensor itself is slow (afterall it's mechanical contacts affected by magnet) or the computer is slow. comp. could be tested out by using a controlled signal generator.
Anyways it's smarter to put the speedo meeter on the rear axle, since the spinning radius is much smaller - time magnet affects the sensor is also alot longer.Also using stronger magnet would help maybe
you need a speedo with a higher refresh rate (better quality). As the guys below said it's because your wheel is so small. You could always just get a cheap gps unit. some of the old ones that don't have maps did have speedometers built in and aren't much bigger than that speedo unit. Just a thought.
I have one on a 4ft windmill blade and after 155 MPH it appeares to run backwards. Because of the 4ft diameter, I needed to move the decimil point one place.
I tryed the same with my motorcycle and since the wheel is samall it wont read the speed right. Because it is originally made for bicycles and bikes dont have small tyres.

its cause of the size of the wheel its too small for this purpouse

did you program the wheel size?? that might help

your magnent is passing by the sensor so often that its blurring the reading

could be due to vibration at higher rpms of the kart wheel. i'm sure bikes are less "violent". how do you calibrate it to that size wheel?

Was it hard to put the Speedometer on it?
