The speed works off an inductive sensor and the bit you broke is critical size wise to be the correct distance from the sensor to trigger it, so afraid you'll need a new one by sounds of it.

Whatever happened to a cable off the front wheel or a cable off a little round gearbox thingy on the rear wheel spindle.
