FOBO Bike works directly and wirelessly with your smartphone to provide the cool features that comes with FOBO Tire. FOBO Bike is designed to cater for two wheel vehicles (motorcycles and bicycles) with tire pressure below 600kPa(87psi). FOBO Bike is the world’s first all Bluetooth Smart advanced Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) for two wheelers and three wheelers. FOBO Bike uses the latest Bluetooth 4.0 that works directly and wirelessly with your Android and iOS device. The main function of FOBO Bike is to monitor the air pressure and temperature of two wheelers & three wheelers like motorcycles, Can-Am Spider, bicycles. It then wirelessly transmits the readings to a smart phone where the user can browse. The user can set upper and lower thresholds of the air pressure. FOBO Bike will monitor the pressure based on the thresholds with its smart algorithm and will provide three levels of alerts when the thresholds are breached.

Requirement to use optional T-Valve

Required rim hole size to fit T-valve

D1 is the required hole diameter to install the T-valve. Suitable for rim valve hole of diameter 11.3mm or 8.3mm. This requires installation at a tire shop. Refer to Specification section for fitting details.

Please ensure sufficient clearance between installed FOBO Bike sensor and any part of the bike. There is a risk of damage to the sensor or ripping off valve from the rim or sudden air leak if clearance is insufficient; the valve may deflect under strenuous vibration. 

We recommend at least 10mm(1/2") and 5mm (1/4") of clearance for installation on a rubber valve and a metal valve,respectively. 

RUBBER VALVE: FOBO strongly recommends use of sensors with only metal valves as many as user finds that it is difficult to determine the fitness conditions of rubber valves. Use of sensors with rubber valves can cause a leak of tire blowout which it turn leads to sudden loss of control of the vehicles that subsequently leads to an accident and serious injuries. If user choose to use rubber valves, users must regularly check if the valves are fit to use. FOBO is not liable for any untoward consequences.





Caution!!!

Check clearance! An installed sensor has a potential to interfere with any part of the bike, eg a brake caliper

For short type of straight valve, sensor may lack clearance from rim (valve and rim clearance too narrow)
