You're paying extra for some quirky features in addition to the usual. Well made, user friendly and easy to fit. But, as a well built and user-friendly computer with some quirky functions, it’s not a bad price. There are other cheaper computers on the market, and if you’re not dead set on having the calorie or carbon offset functions, other wireless models, including from Cat Eye, are available for less money. In use, it’s straightforward and the sensor pick-up is reliable. To maximize its life, avoid removing the unit too often if you can. It locates easily in a simple zip-tie fastened cradle, but in long term use I’d have some doubts about the longevity of the sticky pad helping to secure the cradle to the bar.

The Velo Wireless + is simple and quick to install, once you’ve figured out the very slightly confusing instructions regarding wheel size settings. That said, if you’re making an ethical choice to use the car less and the bike more (which has to be a good thing in anyone’s book) it’s quite nice to have a concrete figure for how much CO2 you've NOT generated in the car, to pat yourself on the back with at the end of a working week.
The CO2 offset function is a slightly contrived one, especially as most of us have no idea how many kg of CO2 we would expect to produce in our everyday lives anyway. Seven basic functions illuminated in larger digits tell you all you. Nonetheless, it’s nice to have a vague notion of how many calories you’re burning on your commute or ride to the shops, and this is, after all, the sector that’s being targeted by Cat Eye with the Velo Wireless +. Cateye Velo Wireless Computer The Velo Wireless is the wireless computer simplified. The calorie consumption is an averaged out estimate, since there’s no heart rate monitor or personal data involved.
In addition to this, the functions that mark it apart from so many other similar computers are calorie consumption and carbon offset. The Velo Wireless + offers the functions most needed by anyone, with current, average and maximum speed, trip distance, total distance, elapsed time and a 12hr/24hr clock. Scrolling through the functions is easy enough, with a single button in the middle.
