CooSpo Bike Computer Wireless GPS BC26,Bluetooth Cycle Computer GPS IPX7 Waterproof, Bike Speedometer Odometer with 2.3 Inch Auto-Backlight,Bicycle Computer GPS Support CooSpoRide

I use this to check the speed and distance on a jon boat, a kayak, and walking the dog. It works well buried deep in my pocket. When you start moving at first the distance is in feet, but after 1000 feet it will switch over to miles. There are several other functions I don't need and didn't try. The user guide isn't great but passable. They claim the battery should last 20 hours, which I can't verify, since I recharge my gadgets daily. The speed and distance numbers are large and easily seen in bright sunlight. Highly recommended.

Great Product

I have bought 3 GPS bike computer over the past 2-1/2 years. The first one was the MEILAN M3 Mini GPS Bike Computer which I bought in December 2022. I had this computer for a little over a year until my bicycle, along with the bike computer, was stolen from the grocery store. After buying a new bike, I thought about buying this computer again, but I felt that there was enough lacking on this computer and decided to replace it with the XOSS G GPS Bike Computer which I bought in March 2024. I hated this computer, and after 3 months, I decided that enough was enough and replaced it with the CooSpo Bike Computer Wireless GPS BC26, Bluetooth Cycle Computer which I bought in June 2024. I have had this computer for a year, and I feel that I can provide an honest review of all 3.For context, I have this computer on my beater bike - this is the bike that I ride to the gym and for those short errands within 5 miles of my house in which it does not matter how I'm dressed or if I'm a little sweaty. I am not in training or anything like that, and I don’t really need a computer, but I like seeing how fast I’m going (or how slow when I hit an especially fierce head wind). I also like seeing how far I’ve ridden, and since I tend to ride the same route over and over again and know the individual trip distances, I will calculate the week’s distance, and should I ride more than 40 miles for the week, I allow myself an extra dessert on the weekend. Lastly, I like to see the clock time, especially if I’m trying to get to an appointment by a certain time.All 3 computers cost roughly the same amount and arrived within the expected time frame in new condition. All 3 computers were very easy to set up. My previous computer was a wireless “standard” computer that used wheel size to calculate speed and distance, and it was quite refreshing to not have to enter this measurement. I just had to enter the time zone (the Meilan computer had a chart that made this especially easy), and since I’m American, I had to change the units from km to miles. The Meilen computer is a little smaller than the other 2, and all 3 are larger than a standard computer. All 3 attach to the bicycle with rubber bands. I was a little leery about this as elastic can degrade over time, however I had the Meilan for about a year and the Coospo for about as long, and these still work great. In fact, I think I like the rubber bands better than zip ties. The rubber has very little elastic (they’re more like a car tire rubber rather than an elastic band), and it keeps the computer in place with no slipping forward or back. Also, the old zip ties damaged the paint on the handlebars which these do not. I’m definitely a fan. With my old bike, I secured the computer to the right handle bar. With my new bike, the computer is on the handle bar post. All 3 computers are rechargeable, and all 3 needed to be recharged about every other week. All 3 computers have survived being rained on, and all 3 give fairly accurate speed and distance measurements. All 3 take time to find the satellite signal when first turned on with the Coospo being the fastest and the XOSS being the slowest. I don’t think any gave an accurate altitude reading with the Meilan being the worst (it showed my altitude at -60 to -80, and since I do not live under ground, I have no idea what this meant). Since where I live is flat, I never look at this parameter anyway. The Meilan turns on by hitting the power button once with both the unit and the GPS being turned on with this single push of the button. With the XOSS and Coospo, pressing the power button once turns on the unit. After the unit is on, you have to press the power button a second time to turn on the GPS. I would oftentimes forget to press the button the second time and would not realize the ride is not being tracked until some ways in.The Coospo computer I have been very happy with. It has a 2 line display. The top display is larger and shows the speed, and you can toggle between current, max, and average. With the bottom line, you can toggle between trip distance, speed, and altitude. The 2 displays toggle independently. In the upper left corner, the clock time is a fixed display, and under the clock are a battery indicator signal and a satellite indicator signal. Basically, everything I want to see on my computer is right there in one display, and I do not have to toggle or do anything while riding. This computer doesn’t show the odometer, and I may need the app for this, but I do not use the app. Like the XOSS, when you turn off the computer, you also reset it, but this one will turn itself off without a reset, so you do not drain the battery. It is not perfect, but it is better than the other 2, and for the price, it really is a very good computer.

instructions are extremely lacking, I have a lot of issues just trying to figure out how to use it.

Works as advertised

I like the BC26 data collected on the device and clearness of seeing the display while riding bike. And the GPS signal was reliable and seemed accurate enough for my use. But two main issues have been 1) Fails to sync with my smartphone - after setting things up, the smartphone app says "device not found", and later after many clicks, it completes a sync for the day. 2) Dead computer after ordering it in November. I logged about 20 rides and about 400 miles. Now it will not turn on, there is no display, not even the charge icon. Disappointed - yes. All that ride data gone. Finally, there is no reset feature on the BC26 computer.

I'm 80 years old and with some help did figure out how to set it up. I use it on my ebike to keep track of the distance I go so that my battery doesn't die on the way home. I only use distance and MPH so it works well for that. Even for an 80 year old it is easy to see and read. Also was quite impressed with how quickly it acquires a signal not like the GPS on my boat that takes a while to find my position. Would recommend to anyone who needs a simpler GPS. Very well made and should last for a long time. Does anyone know how to reset the odometer to zero?

This little gismo is a dynamo. I rode 150 miles and had no issues with signal in areas that did not have cell phone access. It survived rain and held a charge for 10 hours. Love it!
