FoboBike

Very convenient way to monitor tire pressure on bikes/trikes. Installation was easy, pairing to my phone was a little more tedious but not a big deal. Fobo provides quick readings, only a slight delay after app is opened. Bottom line, Fobo provides piece of mind that tire pressures are where you want them before AND during every ride. Have not detected any pressure loss thru the sensor units. I have had to replace a battery after only 3 months use, but this is a very easy process (package came with 1 replacement battery per sensor. Downsides...1). Actual pressure readings are not precise. I use an extremely accurate pressure gauge when adding air. The Fobo sensors are 2-4lbs lower than actual, and vary from sensor to sensor. I just set the Fobo pressure parameters to account for this. 2). Not enough time in use at this point to determine how these work with rubber stems, and potential detrimental centrifugal force. Fobo gives no caution about this, I would suspect that metal stems would be preferable. Another manufacturer is a similar product strongly suggests metal stems. 3). Can pair these with only a single device at a time. Ex:, if you have an iPhone and iPad, you can't load the app in each and expect it to work with either one depending what you have with you at any point in time. If you pair Fobo sensors with your iPhone, that's it...period. Also, any changes in parameters, e.g. Pressure range, requires a complete repairing.

This app is designed to give you your tire pressure and it does that very well. I have a gold wing and I don’t want to be on the ground every time I want to take a tire pressure on the rear tire. With this app I do not need to do that and I can just stand next to the bike and get a pressure reading. Thanks for building a great product that does what it’s suppose to doing. P.S. yes it makes noses every time you open the app, so what. I’m not on the ground getting dirty.

I cannot stand the incessant sounds app makes, and the lack of functionality to make the app completely silent. Please add this feature. Even with the phone on silent mode a stupid jingle chimes away every time you open the app. Also the Fobo hardware is reading 4psi lower than my hand held gauge. Handheld unit is from 'Accutire' whom Consumer Reports states makes the most accurate tire pressure gauges. I trust my Accutire gauge over this unit. Disappointed they don't give the same reading

Tires are the most important thing on a motorcycle, this product works great, is accurate, and has save me one time with my rear tire going down where if I did not know the tire was going down, I would’ve wrecked doing 70 miles an hour. I highly recommend this product!!!!

If you don’t have location services turned on for this app with full permissions, even when it’s not running, then it makes an alarm sound every time you run the app. No matter what. There’s no way to disable it. There’s no reason for them to have full permissions. And even if there were, this would be obnoxious. If I had know this, I wouldn’t have bought it. Can’t recommend it for this reason. Everything else is irrelevant.
