Whether you are prepping your golf cart to make it street legal or you just want to know how fast your buggy can go, you will want a speedometer that is just right for you and your rig. This is a list of speedometers and specifications that range from nearly being a personal assistant to just plain basic.
Golf Cart Speedometer Reviews
The first golf cart speedometer in our list is THE most feature-rich device on the market. This unit is a non-GPS type, using a magnetic sensor on the wheel hub.
Golf Cart Speedometer + Multi-function + Universal
Most golf cars and other small task vehicles are ill-equipped to provide users with important information about speed, range, distance, and more. The Ex-Ray is a digital speedometer with an external magnetic tooth sensor mounted to the wheel hub and a remote temperature sensor located on the DC motor.

It comes with detailed instructions and the necessary wiring to give a professional look to your Golf Cart.

This unit is an inexpensive way to get your in-dash digital speed and mileage. Although it works well, some find the screen a bit difficult to read in direct sunlight. It does the job and looks good doing it.
Pros:
Inexpensive and easy to install
Cons:
For some customers, the display is difficult to read in broad daylight. First use takes a bit of time to acquire the satellites.

Pros:
This unit works on a golf cart but was built for automobiles and trucks. A cheaper alternative to some of the other models available.
Cons:
The design makes it difficult to mount on a golf cart. It gets less accurate at higher speeds, but shouldn’t be a problem at golf cart speeds.

Pros:
Waterproof and, after the initial syncing with the satellites, very foolproof.
Cons:
There is no trip counter. Since it isn’t specifically for golf carts, the gauge has a wide range of speed and the area between 0-20 is too small to read with accuracy.

Pros:
One of my favorites, if only for the display options. Works well at the lower speeds for a golf cart.
Cons:
No external sensor wire for better satellite sensitivity.

Pros:
This is a good mid-priced unit that will mount into a 3-3/8″ hole in the dashboard. Includes a 12-foot antenna wire and is completely waterproof.
Cons:
Button for MPH/KPH is on the back so it must be set prior to completion of the install. An external switch is required to access the “recall” function.

Pros:
One of the least costly options to get a speedometer on your golf cart. Good Display and accurate at golf cart speeds.
Cons:
Due to accuracy problems at higher speeds, you won’t want to transfer this to your car when you aren’t using it in the golf cart. The mount is handy but the adhesive will probably need to be replaced with a stronger substitute.

Golf Carts And Speedometers – Final Notes
A good number of the GPS models of Speedometers are from the same manufacturer, just packaged differently and labeled by a different merchant. This is acceptable as long as you read the customer feedback regarding returns and ease of install/use.
Some bicycle speedometers can be adapted to use the wheel hub sensor approach like the top-rated one we have listed here, but many of these do not allow for an 8″ wheel to be input into the calibration.
