That's what modern speedos do. My Xantia's one never shows under 5mph, 
any slower and you hear a tiny "clink" as it drops to zero. I don't know 
enough about speedos to say whether it'd be easy. Definitely possible 
though - after all, it's still a magnet wizzing around inside the speedo 
that creates the output.

Now one for you: Is the angle drive a worm drive or screw-gear drive? It 
would make much more sense to have a 1:1 drive on the cable, but why on 
earth use screw gears (as the shape of the housing would suggest) 
instead of bevel gears which would be much more reliable!
