Motorised Bike Gear Indicator Kit with Arduino Uno + Sensor
Arduino Uno Motorised Bike Gear Indicator Kit: Display Gear Position Instantly While Riding
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
For cyclists who want to know exactly which gear they’re in without looking down, this kit builds a handlebar‑mounted dashboard indicator with a servo‑driven needle and OLED display. Using two Hall sensors—one on the wheel, one on the crank—the Arduino calculates the current gear ratio from rotational speeds and points the servo to the corresponding gear number. No more guesswork; a quick glance shows the active gear, even while pedaling.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble a compact module that reads magnet pulses from the wheel spoke and crank arm, processes data on the Arduino Uno, and drives an SG90 servo to a marked gear scale. The 0.96‑inch OLED shows the computed gear number in real time, and the system updates continuously as you ride—transforming raw sensor pulses into a visible, immediate gear position.
What You'll Learn
- How Hall effect sensors detect magnetic fields and generate pulse signals for rotational measurement
- Interrupt‑based programming on the Arduino Uno to count pulses from two sensors simultaneously
- Calculating gear ratio from wheel and crank RPM and mapping it to a servo angle
- Integrating an OLED display for live data visualisation of gear state

Who This Kit Is For
Ideal for Class 11–12 CBSE students building a physics project on motion sensing, B.Tech ECE/EEE learners exploring embedded systems for their semester work, and Smart India Hackathon teams prototyping a bike telematics module. ATL Tinkering Lab mentors will find it a perfect intermediate‑level challenge that bridges sensor integration with real‑world mechanical feedback.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We’ve spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code on the box to launch the AI companion that knows this project inside out, or message us on WhatsApp for live support.
Do I need to modify my bike to mount the sensors?
No permanent changes. The kit uses small magnets that attach to the spoke and crank arm with zip ties (not included); sensors are positioned nearby on the frame using the breadboard and double‑sided tape.
Is the gear indicator suitable for multi‑speed bikes with front and rear derailleurs?
Yes. The system calculates the overall ratio from wheel‑to‑crank rotation, so it works with any number of gears. You calibrate the servo scale to your bike’s total gear count.
Can the OLED display show speed or cadence as well?
The provided code focuses on gear position, but the sketch is open‑source. You can extend it to compute speed and cadence using the same Hall sensor pulses.
Hall sensors on wheel and crank calculate gear ratio. Servo indicator pointer shows current gear position.
