FOBO Bike 2 tire pressure monitoring system (Black) – external monitor, bike tire, temperature sensor, wireless, for smart bike, motorcycle, ebike & bicycle

My motorcycles are not modern enough to have built in tire pressure gauges (TPMS). It has happened to me twice now that I have developed slow leaks that I don't discover until the next morning when I'm in a hurry to get somewhere and was then faced with a few hours of fixing, replacing, etc. I purchased these in hopes that next time I develop a puncture with a slow leak I will be alerted in time to address it before I'm in a real pinch. Moreover, it constantly monitors tire pressure so you know when it's time to add a little air between your normal service intervals. The bluetooth sensors communicate directly with your phone and you can set up alerts that will really get your attention in the event of a sudden breach or leak. They are pretty easy to install with a little bit of work setting up the parameters in the app, but it's not too bad. The app itself is ok but it could be designed a little sexier and more intuitive, but overall it's fine since you won't really mess with the app unless something happens. The sensors themselves aren't much to look at and they're a little ugly in my opinion, but still pretty amazing considering all the technology they packed into these things. I was so happy with the first set that I got another for my second bike, which is why they get 5 stars despite being sort of an eyesore . They come in a four pack so if you are going to use these on more than two wheels, get that instead.Pros* Easy to install.* Provide great information and alerts.* Nice upgrade for vehicles without TPMS.Cons* Not the prettiest addition to a motorcycle wheel.* App could be a bit slicker and easier to navigate.

I do cross country touring and checking air pressure is a necessary evil as I travel through different climates and altitudes. In fact, it's a pain in the butt to almost lay down on the ground when checking the rear tire. I've been wanting to get a TPMS system for my bike for quite some time, but was leary of the failure reports I've read about sensors losing air pressure, often with catastrophic results! With the very positive reviews of the FOBO 2 I decided to go for it. There are cheaper ones available (1/2 the cost, actually) but with my life potentially on the line, it's worth going with a reliable unit.The last time I changed out my front tire on my 2014 Nomad I had the dealer install a metal 90° valve stem because it was so difficult to check or add air with the rubber OEM straight stem in between the dual rotors. This was before I decided to get this TPMS. But now with the 90° stem I was concerned about the clearance between the brake calipers. On the Nomad I knew it would be really close with that 90° stem. Contacting FOBO via their website and posting a question on Amazon's product page didn't yield any actual measurement (though I appreciate FOBO's quick reply and the answers provided by Amazon's customers!). Answers ranged from 5mm (too little) to 3/4" (too much). After doing all kinds of estimates and knowing it would be extremely tight I ordered the system. It arrived in 1 day (thanks Amazon/Seller) and I installed a sensor on a loose valve stem to see how much additional length it added. So, for those that might have the same issue I have, it adds 12.5mm (about 1/2") when fully threaded onto a valve stem.I was immediately impressed with the professionalism of the packaging, the quick start leaflet and the on-line full manual. All was easy to understand and written well. It's obvious that some time was taken to make this a premier product. Contents include the 2 sensors, 4 sensor locks, 2 lock wrenches with a key ring to keep one handy, 2 short, straight metal valve stems, 2 extra batteries and the quick start guide. Finding and downloading the app was quick and easy, and setup was guided by the app. Reading the quick start guide actually wasn't necessary as the app "told" me what to do and when. The online manual provides details for fine tuning the system settings. By the way, my front tire sensor fits between the calipers with about 1/8" to spare (yea!). Both sensors are within 1/2 psi of a gauge I trust. Test riding the bike yielded no tire balance issues.Regarding the app and it's functions. I have an Android phone. This thing does just about anything I can imagine you might need with a TPMS system. I won't list all the functions here since they can be found online or are already posted, but some of the unique features that I like are the Overlay Service (puts a small icon on top of any opened app for quick reference), the ease of setting your hi/lo pressure and temperature parameters in either metric or standard, celcius or farenheit, and can even update the firmware on the sensors. My only dislike about the app is that I can't find any way to stop it from running without logging out of the app, which then requires you to put in your email and password to log back in since it doesn't have a "Remember me" option. That's a pain because I don't really need the app running all the time unless I'm riding or preparing to ride. One of the easiest 5 star reviews I've done. Highly recommended!

There are awesome! So simple to install and set up. I love being able to see tire pressure while I am away from my motorcycle - knowing that I don't have to check the tires the old-fashioned way before a ride. The sensors are accurate.

For the price these are great, BUT they sometimes take a long time to work. I do NOT want them active all the time, as I do not want alerts when I'm not riding, so I deactivate the app when I'm not riding. I have two bikes sitting side by side, so maybe that an issue, but most of the time when I go to check pressure before a ride, at least one of the sensors will take far longer to show a pressure than I'd prefer (several minute). I might as well check them manually.
