No... you don't want the pick up on a rotating part.

If you meant the magnet then yes, for this is on the rotor...

I meant the magnet. can it be run off of the sprocket or rear wheel? I guess it has a calibration mode or something
like that?

"I guess it has a calibration mode or something

With the Acewell speed sensors, you program in the wheel circumference so front or rear would work just fine. For it's just now a matter of counting revolutions... ;)

I thought about going off the rear as well but as I tought about it longer, didn't like the idea for the swingarm bounding up & down may throw the accuracy off... Then there's the cabling to contend with....

Ah well, that's the beauty of fabrications....
