Review - FOBO Bike TPMS

I have the 3 pack FOBO version, but you cant used it on our trike (front wheel) will touch the brake pad and rip it off from the valve. Back wheel works fine.
PFWiz...
Thanks for the review. Too bad they don't offer a three pack for trikes. If/ when I ever have to,replace my rear tires I'm planning to add internal TPMS.
Edit: I looked on trusty Amazon. There are many different TPMS systems available. Some specifically for motorcycles, some are Bluetooth, some come with a display.

Glad to see this thread as I just installed my FOBO Bike 2 days ago. The calibration on the sensors was within 1/2 psi of my accutronix guage which I have had the accuracy checked several times. I installed the sensors on my 2015 FLHTKL and it took less than 1/2 hour for the installation, and another 15-20 minutes to download the app and set it up for the pressures I wanted, Now it takes me less than a minute to check my tires whenever I ride . My conclusion so far is that it works as advertised, only time will tell on the longevity of this system.

I had bought these a few months ago...installed it on my bike and suddenly the back tire was losing air all the time. I assumed it was a bad FoBo and tried to get a hold of customer service...it was not very good...if you need to get in touch with them you will be hard pressed...I eventually just returned them via Amazon....then low and behold I found out I picked up a nail the same day I installed the things..LOLZ..so it wasnt the FoBo after all. I should have swapped the front and backs to see if the problem followed the tire, but to be honest I thought the things looked HUGE on my custom wheels so I would have been sending them back anyhow. The alarm system on the app also went haywire on its own a LOT, going off when the psi was still in the correct range...so they need a bit of work in their app I am assuming...its a great idea, and in the future as the devices get more refined I will definitely give them another shot (when they are about half their current size...)
