Which FOBO Bike 2 app do I want?

[gkamer]

I was thinking of getting the FOBO Bike 2 TPMS for my 2018 RT. I went to the Google Play store to look at the app and there are like 7 or more FOBO apps listed. Anyone know which app I need to download?

Greg not sure on android but for iOS it is call FOBO Bike 2

I have the original and it works very well. I've been told, for what it's worth. not to load any of their updates. They create complications. If you get the 1 or 2 and it works fine stick with it and don't update it'

Got it guys, thanks.

2dogs, I updated my FOBO app, and update my FOBO 2 app every time a new app upgrade is released. I have never had a problem :dontknow:.

Greg, I’m sure Lamonster told you this, but the app you want is FOBO Bike 2. It will let you have up to 4 sensors.

Lucky, lucky you. Unfortunate, not all of us were as fortunate as you. Possibly I/we had glitches that occurred for some unknown reasons during our updates. But, all in all, I really like my FOBOs. I had a flat on my HD one day and it ended up being a very unhappy day. All that could have been averted had I known earlier that I was experiencing a slow leak.

Yeah, I’m certainly not saying it doesn’t happen, 2dogs…..I have seen too many reports. It has just never happened to either me or the 2 mates I know of who run FOBO. Maybe it’s because we operate it upside down hyea:

I think you are on to something there Pete. If I ever have to update again I'm going to turn my cell phone upside down and see if it loads that way on the first try.

When you say 4 sensors. Where would you add the extra sensor if you buy one? To the valve under the seat?

You would choose the Trike + AirShock option when you set it up and then it would show:

Yes, you got it in one, Eranical :thumbup: I used that setup to great effect on my ‘16 F3-L that had the manually adjustable air bag. I don’t use it on my ‘21RT-L as it is auto, but it may still come in handy to diagnose any issues I have with the bag:thumbup:

How much of a pain was it installing the back tire

How much of a pain was it installing the back tire

For me on my 2021 RTL it was as simple as screwing it onto the valve stem, practically like putting a normal valve cap on. The hardest part for this old man was getting up off the floor afterwards.
