Glad to see you were able to find a small workaround!

I had an update on the speedometer in the 2018 Hellcat models. According to the online rep I bought my bike from they have contacted TaoTao and TaoTao is aware the speedometer does not have the availability in the current 2018 models to be switched from MPH to KPH. TaoTao says they are looking into this. Did a little further research and it appears that vehicles sold in the US are required to have the availability to do so according to the following information from NHTSA (sorry for the small print, as it is cut and pasted). "all vehicles sold in the U.S. must display vehicle speeds in mph, or mph and km/h these vehicles fail to fully meet the requirements set forth in paragraph S5.2.1 of FMVSS No. 101."

I hope they will honor sending replacement units to be exchanged out to current 2018 buyers.
