If you asked me a few months ago what modifications I had in mind for my motorcycles, I probably wouldn’t have thought of a tire pressure monitoring system. While tires are important, for experienced riders it usually is either a habit or something you immediately notice once you saddle up. One turn of the handlebar might tell you that your front or rear tire needs air. I relied on this sense for a while and then I got the call from FOBO in the Philippines for a rather interesting challenge.
While I was expecting them to ask me for a review on the product, I didn’t expect that they would bring in another competing tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) for my other bike. While I will be focusing on the FOBO Bike 2 system primarily, I’ll slide in some input based on my experience with the other product along with a brief description of it. What’s interesting to me about FOBO is that its system is totally seamless, rather easy to pair (if you follow the right steps), and nifty since it pairs up with your phone.
