Is a good thing I watched this video. I'm buying a used bike with these. I'll have to tell the previous owner to help me re-register the sensors so they worth with my phone instead of his!
Is this an ad? Also I was intrigued by this but then I found out these type things might cause your tire to start leaking if the product decides to fail or something?
Nope, if you check out my channel I do a lot of gadget reviews. Doesn't matter to me if someone ends up buying it or not. I just like showing what's on the market. I haven't seen an air leak happen. The only thing I've read about is battery life being less than expected sometimes. I guess if an air leak did happen, the sensor would alert you right away 😂
I was filming at a friend's garage - he said the pump is from Costco, a big box store. This is the pump that I like to use from Airmoto - it's even smaller and easy to pack for a trip: amzn.to/4cia53y
Meh, knowing that some Chinese brands just give you their OEM stock watever shelf special TPMS right out the back. Some of them were proprietary nonsenses until their (Chinese) industry standardized on the one used for cars (15" wheel) and just went with that one, probably. Zontes starting from their 2nd gens 310 and 350cc line up did that, and I believed some other brands in Britian already outfitted with one for high way use since...2010s maybe.
@@Dr.MichaelsMotorcycles Their readings are the same on my Toyota's aftermarket ones. Pretty nice that they just reuse one's other part. I know for the love of God these guys just copy their own homework, but it's nice to see some efforts in keeping the costs down by doing so in term of manufacturing scale.
Heyy I totally get what you're saying! But just so you know, FOBO is made in their own factory in Malaysia. So far the quality is quite good and reliable, based on most reviews I saw.
The battery is easily replaceable-just grab a new CR1632 battery from the store. You can open the sensor cap to replace it, and it's actually quite simple!
The registration and phone connectivity has it's benefits. If the unit is stolen, it can't be registered by anyone else. The app can also be accessed on any phone.
Here’s a thought: maybe instead of a $1 gauge, you get a $10 gauge? You’d be $90 ahead already, not to mention the cost of having the wheels rebalanced due to the xtra -10gram weights. Oh, and the annual battery replacement. Bet that $10 gauge will last a lifetime, and you can use it on all your cycles, cars, bikes, etc. Nah, that makes too much sense….better to get the automatic electronic one….

Awesome! What bike are you buying?
@@Dr.MichaelsMotorcycles I'm getting a 2014 Yamaha FJR with nice red paint 🎨 😁
Great vid as always! Unrelated but what bike stand was that Honda on?
Thank you! This is from Motea, SKU: 973557-0

Looks good but I'm also impressed with your neat looking tyre pump.Tell me about this please?

@@Dr.MichaelsMotorcycles Many thanks for the info.

Are they reliable from your experience?

Super informative!
Thank you!
Amazon has them on sale (11 Sep 24) for $79.99!!!
Do you hear alerts in the speakers in the helmet connected to phone via bluetooth ?
I haven't had it give me a low pressure alert while riding yet. I feel like if your phone alert volume is set, you should be able to hear it.
Hi, FOBO user here. Yes, you can hear alerts in the speakers of the helmet connected to your phone via Bluetooth!
@@suhailirahman9096 Thanks 🙂
Sold me….getting this
Nice, I've found it to be super convenient so far.
The only issue associated is battery life for the second time around. Maybe do a follow up when you replace them. Nice vid. 👍🤪🏳️🌈
Sounds good!

@@suhailirahman9096 actually the question was regarding battery life, not about change them….but thanks. 😀
@@user-hf8ie8mf3n the battery can last up to 1 year with standard use
Aliexpress it costs 15 and it as good as the one for 99. and NO REGISTRATION needed no internet needed

@@Dr.MichaelsMotorcycles wow, that is very important because the thief will know about it and will not steal it ;-)
@@zyghom Exactly. Thank you.
