FOBO Bike 2 tire Pressure Monitoring System (Silver) – External Monitor, Bike tire, Temperature Sensor, Wireless, for Smart Bike, Motorcycle, ebike & Bicycle

Here’s a polished Amazon-style review based on everything you said:---⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ **Excellent TPMS – Reliable, Accurate, and Easy to Use**I am genuinely impressed the FOBO 2 Bike TPMS). It is a really good product and excellent value for money.It was very easy to fit, and setup through the FOBO 2 Bike app took only a few minutes. The system works seamlessly and connects to my iPhone automatically, updating roughly every 10 seconds when you are within a few metres of the bike, without me needing to do anything.In terms of accuracy, it’s spot on. I compared the readings to my manual tyre pressure gauge (which I know to be accurate) and they matched perfectly. You can also set custom alerts for high or low pressure, with separate thresholds for each if you want (I do use this feature and find it useful). This is especially useful in winter when colder temperatures naturally bring pressures down. The system even gives you tyre temperature readings, which is unexpectedly useful.I went for the silver version, and while they are slightly noticeable if you look closely, they don’t look out of place at all on the chrome wheels of my Triumph Bonneville T120. The build quality is solid and they feel very secure once fitted.The FOBO 2 Bike app is excellent. It is intuitive, stable, and not glitchy in the slightest. You can also use it to monitor multiple bikes if you install sensors on more than one, which is a great feature.Overall, I’m extremely happy with this product. It does exactly what it promises, does it reliably, and does it well. Highly recommended for peace of mind and effortless tyre pressure monitoring.

Unlike OEM and other TPMS which require wheel rotation to activate the sensors, the FOBO Bike 2 system can get tyre pressure readings BEFORE starting a ride. It also connects directly to Car Play/Android Auto sat nav systems so, if a rider has one of these, it isn’t even necessary to open the app on the phone in order to read tyre pressures. Another benefit is that it doesn’t require a separate display to be mounted on the handlebars.Installation is straightforward with clear instructions provided. And, because the FOBO sensors replace the valve caps, unlike OEM TPMS which are fitted inside the wheel, their performance isn’t compromised by puncture protection tyre sealants.

Very impressed. Fantastic system that was easy to set up. Gives me the peace of mind knowing that my tyre pressures are where they should be without getting on my knees to check them. As my bike has got android auto i have the added benefit of being able see my pressures on my bike screen. Well worth the money!

Product works exactly as advertised

First off they are very difficult to connect to your phone.They are not truly anti theft.Spent a very very long time trying to connect them as having to reload bike profile and tyre pressure parameters.When the tyres warm up the sensors readings get higher.They went up 8psi then I took them off and started a return.

Brilliant, easy to check your motorcycle tyre pressure in seconds before setting off. The only issue I had was during initial setup trying to connect the phone to them, took a few attempts so you just have to persevere, this seems standard going by youtube videos but once it's set up it's a fantastic system.

very good

bit fiddly to set up but once done - brilliant- saves checking pressures every time i want a ride

Funkar kanon bra är mycket nöjd

Um bom produto, boa relação custo/benefício.

I haven't had the Fobo Bike 2 for long but I am so surprised by how well it works that I had to write this now. However, I will update this review if I have any problems with it in the future, especially if it leaks air, which is a concern I have with it's design.I debated whether to buy one of these for weeks. The reviews were good but I had purchased a similar TPMS but it was one that read out on a separate device, not through a phone app. It was horribly inaccurate and I returned it.Another reason for my hesitation to buy this was that very few reviewers check the accuracy of it's readouts with a separate air pressure gauge known (or thought to be) accurate. Many reviewers just assume that the Fobo is accurate but, as anyone who works on vehicles knows, air pressure gauges can produce wildly different and inconsistent readings. The only way you will know if an air pressure gauge is truly accurate would be to check it with a calibrated standard - probably at a government standards location but who has access to that? I have six air pressure gauges - three simple stick types and three gauge types. Two of the gauge types read far different pressures from the stick gauges. So which one is correct? Are any of them correct? Who knows? However, the third gauge type pressure gauge I have agrees with my stick gauges so my best guess is they and the gauge that agrees with them are closest to being accurate but, of course, they could all be wrong. But the point is, air pressure gauges (including stick types) are notorious for giving different and inconsistent readings. But all we can do is try to find out which gauge is most accurate and consistent and use it. Surprisingly, it appears that my cheap stick gauges are accurate but the two of my gauge type (round) gauges are inaccurate. But we have to make our best guess.Anyway, I decided to order a Fobo but I was very skeptical that it would be accurate. Before installing the sensors, I took readings of my tires with what I think is my most accurate tire gauge. I expected the to see that the Jobo read completely different pressures. Then, since I run my front tire at 38 pounds (cold) and 44 in my rear tire and I've always had good results if, say, the Fobo gave me pressures several pounds off from what my gauge said, I would just think of the the Fobo readings as really being what my gauge said. In other words, I would compensate but I really didn't like the idea of that.To my surprise and almost amazement, the Fobo read .1 pound off on the rear tire and .3 pounds off on my front tire readings compared to my separate gauge. That's phenomenal! And even that tiny difference might change if I simply took a second reading with my separate gauge. In short, the Fobo was reading almost exactly what my separate gauge was reading. Not only was I surprised but I was so happy. It also indicated that my separate gauge is probably accurate.As of now, I am so happy I bought the Fobo. As anyone who owns a bagger knows, to check air pressure, you have to get flat on the ground, check to see where the air valve is, get up, move the bike a bit and try again until you can access the valve. It helps to remove the saddlebag but it's still a pain. And that means that you probably aren't checking air pressure very often which can be dangerous. Several weeks ago, my bike seemed to slip in corners - almost as if I was on ice. Sure enough! It turned out the air pressure was off by about 5 pounds in the rear tire. But now I can check the air pressure without all the hassle before every ride.There is one thing I don't like about the Fobo. That is that the app says it needs to track your location ALL THE TIME. That makes no sense to me and the explanation in the manual does not make it clear why that is the case. Nor do the explanations in the Q&A section here. But the solution is simple. First, set your permissions so the location is tracked ONLY when the app is being used. (If you deny location tracking completely, the app won't work.) When you do that, the app will complain that you must set it to ALWAYS track your location. But if you just hit the cancel button, the app works fine despite what the notice said. Also, the app can't be on when bluetooth is turned off so if you don't need bluetooth on when you're not using the app, just turn it off and no location tracking can take place. In fact, if you don't want real-time TPMS while riding, you can just check the air pressure before you ride and then turn off bluetooth which turns off the app. That's up to you.Again, I will update this review if I run into any issues. The one thing I will watch carefully for is leakage at the sensors. After all, they are pressing down on the core of the air valve so it's very important that the seal on the sensor is good. And since you have to remove the sensor to add air, the seal could wear over time. A solution to that would be to get one of those double air valves so you don't have to remove the sensor to add air. I may do that but only when I change tires and re-balance them. I do that myself. From reviews, the sensors themselves don't seem to affect wheel balance noticeably but that double air valve probably would throw off balanc.

Bueno

This system is an excellent way to monitor real-time tire pressure. Screw the sensors on, download the app, pair the sensors and you’re done! The little plastic lock nuts to secure the sensors on the valve stems are a nice touch but annoying to have to back them off to adjust pressure. (They require a special plastic wrench that you need to carry). Set the low pressure alarm and put your phone in your pocket. If you lose pressure, a VERY LOUD alarm will get your attention. If you’re anal about adjusting tire pressures, you’ll want a handlebar mount for your phone to keep an eye on things. As the bike has to move a bit to “wake” the sensors, setting pre-ride cold pressure is a bit of a pain. Spares in the box include an extra set of sensor batteries, an extra lock nut wrench and a thoughtful pair of split rings to attach the wrench to your keys. Great value, well executed and cheap insurance against a tire-related emergency.
