Review: Fobo - Smart and Ultimate TPMS For Motorcycles

Posted: 07 Sep 2015 05:00 AM PDT

#Review #Fobo #TPMS - We told you about them last year when they appeared on crowd-funding site IndieGoGo, and now their product is live, and it's EXCELLENT. Fobo Bike is a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that works via your smartphone(iPhone or Android), and monitors in real-time, and more importantly, IMMEDIATELY. No need to turn the tires before you know if you have to go back to inflate them; here is the review.

I counted 14, maybe there are more, since some are well hidden. The feat itself is amazing and incredible, but what's even more impressive is the solidity of the motorcycle and the bike's tires. Amazing.

Obviously if you've got a sidecar, there is no problem. But if not, apart from placing the dog behind you on the pillion seat, there aren't many other options available.
