        You could make a sensor for the wheel . I suggested the GPS module as it is simple to implement. Your speed sensor would be a custom design and would take a lot of design time. The lcd you showed in the videos is a custom part. You could make a graphic lcd display the data in the video. The example program I sent you uses a 4 line Ascii display . The 2nd program uses a Nokia 5110 display that may allow for your data but it is small about 1 inch in size. As this product already exists I would just purchase it and save you your time and energy.

What kind of sensors are you going to use? GPS for speed and distance traveled and trip meter and An ADC for the battery level.  Here is a program that displays information on an LCD using a 5LP kit. You can get a GPS module from Adafruit.com.

Here is the GPS program. You will need to generate the the  math and display interface and any of the GPS parts not in this program.
