How many levels of alerts?

FOBO Wheely offers three levels of alerts.

Is this theft proof?

a) Sensors are tied to a FOBO account after installation. They are not re-usable or transferable without the owner releasing them from his/her FOBO account. This theft deterrent feature removes the economic value of a stolen sensor to discourage theft. b) FOBO Wheely package comes with anti-theft lock-nuts and a special wrench. The anti-theft locking system will lock your sensor against others from unscrewing it.

Will this fit on my wheelchair?

Sensors are compatible with the Schrader valve, which is almost universal on tires. Please check the physical dimensions of the sensor to ensure sufficient clearance between the installed sensor and any part of the wheelchair.

Is the sensor waterproof?

Yes, the sensor is waterproof (IP57).

Will the FOBO app runs in the background and alert me to low pressures while Google map is on the screen and music is also playing?

The App will monitor the sensors in the background. Please ensure that you have enabled and accepted all the App permissions requested. It will alert users whenever there is a pressure breach, it will slow down the music to notify you on the alert. If you are wearing a smartwatch then the alerts will be shown on the watch too.
