Overview
FOBO Bike 2 is a SMART tire pressure monitoring system for every biker. * View on demand tire pressure & temperature * Monitors tire pressure in real time while riding or when in Bluetooth range * Detects slow or fast leak and alerts users to anomalies * Sends instant audio, haptic and text alerts on a smartphone/smartwatch/Bluetooth headset * Easy install on any motorcycle without running wires, drilling holes, and tedious programming

 

 

 

 

 

 

Built with high quality automotive grade components and materials, the FOBO Bike 2 TPMS sensor is aesthetically designed to be 50% smaller and 25% lighter compared to its previous version.

 

The sensor is as small as the diameter of the penny and weighs only 7.6 gram with CR1632 battery inclusive.

        

 
 
 

WE KNOW HOW IMPORTANT SAFETY IS FOR RIDING

Optimal tire pressure is the most critical at where the rubber meets the road; for effective braking distance and road grip.  FOBO Bike 2 TPMS is the most effective device to know that you have the optimal tire pressure while you are riding.  

 

WHICH TIRE IS UNDER-INFLATED? 

Can you tell with naked eyes which tire below is under-inflated? A tire can be under-inflated by as much as 20 per cent and still look fine.  For a safe ride, it is important not to eyeball or guess if tires have enough air.  With FOBO Bike 2, you will be alerted the moment you get in Bluetooth range with the tires if the pressure has dropped below the thresholds you set.  You can also view the tire pressure on your smartphone or smartwatch without bending your knees or getting your hands dirty or even when you are riding.

 

A slow leak is usually difficult to detect and it may get you stranded in rural areas.  FOBO Bike 2 reads tire pressure in fine resolution and analyses the readings with its proprietary algorithm.  Upon detection of a slow leak, it will immediately alert the user.

When there is a considerable change of tire pressure over a short duration(in seconds), FOBO Bike 2 determines this as a fast leak and immediately sends out alerts. 

 

 

Optimal tire pressure is critical for optimal tire performance and road safety, especially while we are riding on motorcycles.  Low tire pressure can lead to tire blowout or ineffective breaking or manoeuvre.  With FOBO Bike 2, you can know in real time as it constantly reads the tire pressure and compares against user set thresholds. When there is a breach of thresholds, it immediately sends alerts via Bluetooth to smart devices so that you can take remedial actions.    

 

Summary of Alerts:

 

 

If you own more than one motorcycles, having to individually check the tire pressure is a dreadful chore.  Some valves are hard to get to without bending down or getting your knees dirty.  Would it be nice if you can just whip out your smartphone and have all the tire pressure readings in seconds?  You can view all your motorcycles tire pressure and temperature in one app, up to 19 wheels.  Moreover, you get an alert if there is a breach of threshold when you are in Bluetooth range.

 

 

         

             

 

 

This app feature will be available by June 2019.  

This feature let riders form a group ride with a planned destination, date and time. During the group ride,  riders can know the tire pressure status and the relative locations of one another in the Map View.   If you find that your riding peer is missing and see a tire pressure alert insignia by his bike profile, you know that he may be stranded at the location on the Map View and may use your help.  This is useful when cellular phone signal is not available to call for help. 

 

 

Sometimes we loan our bikes to friends and it would be nice if they can be assured of riding with optimal tire pressure.  FOBO Share, a patented function, allows your friends(Sharee) to use your motorcycle and the installed FOBO Bike 2 with their very own smartphones; this can be done for up to 100 other friends with qualified smartphones.  Just download the FOBO Bike 2 App and send a “key”/ “request” to you who will grant permission to use FOBO Bike 2 with just a click.  Sharing has never been easier.

 

 

Ever wonder if your loved one is riding with an optimal tire pressure?  When FOBO Share is in use, the owner can view the tire pressures on his or her very own smartphone even when the Sharee is riding far away.  Likewise, when the owner is riding far away on the motorcycle, the Sharee can view the tire pressures on his or her very own phone.  This is done through FOBO's patented technology.

 

 

The patented CrossPair technology enables a seamless swap from one smart device to another to monitor FOBO Bike 2. This feature is useful when changing to a new phone or just simply swapping to a different phone.  All installed FOBO Bike 2 profiles will be transferred to the new device, without the need to individually pair and install again. 

 

 

The first level of deterrent is done with proprietary nuts and wrench.  In the event that the sensor is still stolen, it cannot be installed again.   This second level of deterrent removes the economic value of the sensor.   For ownership transfer, the original owner must release the sensors from his profile using the app.

WE ARE IN PRODUCTION

 

 

Risks and challenges 

We challenge ourselves to produce a wireless Tire Pressure Monitoring System(TPMS) for motorcycles that is inconspicuous and yet robust and reliable. We want it to be like no other TPMS in the World today.  We had to choose the latest and right technologies in hardware, squeeze many components onto a tiny PCB, produce the most reliable antenna performance into a small mechanical enclosure. The FOBO Bike 2 uses Bluetooth 5 technology for wireless communication with smart devices(such as smartphones, smart watches and Bluetooth headsets) and automotive grade award winning pressure sensor that reads fine resolution of pressure.  We challenged the convention of design rules to attain waterproof standard and tested the product against stringent international mechanical & environment testing standards.  The app had to connect flawlessly with the firmware of the components and work with Android and iOS devices using Bluetooth 5, even when the vehicle is traveling at high speed!

We had overcome all these challenges and we are ready to take this product into mass production and commit to delivery.

 

 

 

About Us

We are a group of enthusiastic engineers with passion in design and creation.  With extensive experience with designing products based on Bluetooth wireless technology, we created the FOBO brand, an acronym for For Our Better wOrld.  FOBO carries a mandate to help enhance mankind’s daily living through innovative and smart products. FOBO products get in tune with Nature, by monitoring key environmental elements that interact with our daily livings or things/loved ones that we care so much about; FOBO is Sensing with Sense TM.

We had successfully launched three Indiegogo campaigns in the past, namely FOBO Tire and FOBO Bike and FOBO TAG and accomplished timely delivery to our backers.  We are confident to delivery again a high quality and reliable product in this campaign.
